This weekend was the inaugural Cam Blog Meet! After a couple of weeks of excitement, the day had finally arrived to meet with some fellow Cambridge Bloggers and some from further afield.
Planning began a few weeks back with a secret goody bag organised for each attendee. Putting these together was so much fun! 
Co-hosts Rachel, Stacie and Harriet travelled from Southampton, Bedfordshire and Isle of Wight respectively, to spend a day in Cambridge, eating lunch, drinking cocktails, chatting blogs and being tourists. Days before were filled with texts and tweets of excitement and travel plans.
The goody bags were filled with some fantastic items, all perfect for the creative blogger!
I’d like to thank the following brands and companies for supporting the event!
Crafty Creatives , Homemaker Magazine, WashiTapes.co.uk, Printed.com, Graze, Tea Pigs, Dex Diva, The Sheep Shop, Stacie Swift Illustration, Ohnorachio, Harriet Gray, Lush Cambridge and Ta Bouche bar.
Attendees also received a little treat from the Claireabellemakes shop in their bags 
Despite the long journeys for some, the day went well with lots of chatter and networking. People shared their blog photography tips (balanced on a chair on one leg anyone?!) and even workout tips – who is doing the 30 Day Shred now on Rachel’s advice?!!
Rachel, Harriet, Nina, Louise, Holly
By the time lunch was over, the cocktails had been ordered and tourist walks for the afternoon were being planned. More on this in Part II tomorrow!!
Stacie, Emma, Rachel, Emma, Harriet, Laura.

Keep an eye for Part II tomorrow!

Good job, I had an absolutely fantasic time! Some fab photos too! I had already thought that my post would have to be a 2/3 parter too, there’s just too much to fit in 1 blog post!
Lovely post, I’m trying to draft my one now, but there’s too much to write about
This looks like so much fun!! Congrats for organising such a great event and I really hope I can make it to the next one

Looks like you all had a Fabulous day! What lovely treats. So wish I could’ve been there.. (Cocktails too!) next time…
Nice to see bloggers faces too

What a lovely post! Fabulous photos, too! Did I mention that my son (age 15) swiped the skull buttons with the cry ‘Cool!’ He now has his beady eye on the dragon but I’m keeping a sharp look-out.. How btw do you turn the dragon into a brooch??
Thanks so much Claire, was lovely to meet everyone. I went straight to The Sheep Shop afterwards to stock up! Looking forward to tomorrow’s post and future meets. xxx
