So, if you've never heard of Farmgirl Paints...this is her...Ms. Becky.
Her blog is full of emotion and she wears her heart on her sleeve...in a good way.
She has an amazing Etsy shop where she sells things like this...
...and these. (oh, how i need one of these guys!)
Oh, and she paints...get it? Farmgirl Paints? :)
She did this fab painting for me of our house back in October.
We've been exchanging emails and comments for a while now and I thought that maybe while my honey and I were in the Twin Cities, we could meet up for coffee.
I have never met a blog friend before, so this was very scary to me.
After she replied to my invite with a big fat YES! we agreed to meet...yes, like a blind date...so strange is this blogging thing.
I was so nervous to meet her...like, would this be super weird? would we able to carry on a good convo?
please no awkward silence!
And after about 20 seconds, those nervous little butterflies were gone.
Becky was just as sweet as she is in her posts and we talked for probably 2 hours...it was so easy!
There were definitely no awkward quiet moments...if anything, we could have talked another 2 hours!
But my sweetie was tired of killing time at Target :)
**thanks again, jar, for being so patient :)**
I am so glad to have met Becky in real life and I hope to get together again...
she was surprised of two things when she saw me...
1. I'm tall...I'm close to 5'10"
and
2. My hair is really long :)
She didn't think I showed my hair enough (it's always pulled back...I think that's what people with long hair and little kids do, right?)
So...this is for you, Becky...
I know non-bloggers probably think we bloggers are the weirdest people ever, but it was so fun to get together
with another blogger. Now I just wanna meet more of you lovelies :)
Loved meeting you, Ms. Becky!

So glad you got to meet a fellow blogger(strange?LOL), and you two look like you could be related! Love her work that you have shown, will check it out!
Lucky you! I've been following Becky for awhile...such a sweetheart, and she's been so helpful and encouraging to me about my art and pursuing an etsy store. I'm getting up the courage..I think this will be the year. Now I'm following you!
