My new Epson Workforce 610 printer!!

In December I attended the online conference, A Girlfriends Guide to the Business of Blogging. It was a fabulous webinar geared to help you ramp up your blogging skills.

Conference organizer Debbie Lawrence put together a GREAT group of speakers for three days of online sessions, and there was an attendance prize,
an Epson Workforce 610 wifi printer.

Well guess who won that awesome printer?

........yep that's right.......yours truly!!!!

I've now had my printer for some time and I thought I'd tell you how amazing this thing is!

The Epson WorkForce 610 distinguishes itself as one of the most compact multifunction printers with a built-in fax. Measuring only 18 inches x 14 inches x 9 inches and weighing 18 pounds, it is smaller and lighter than others in its class.

If you’re in the market for an all-in-one printer that truly does it all, then this feature packed powerhouse is going to fit the bill!!

• Easy to set up
• The print quality is excellent, black is nice and crisp. I've been printing photos with ease and the results are excellent, professional quality prints- just be sure to print on photo paper!
• Speed is very fast, and the auto document feeder is awesome when I have multiple pages to copy or scan.
• The Workforce 610 has photo print options as well, it’s nice to be able to just stick my memory card in the printer and print, I can even make adjustments if need be.
• I can fax right from my computer via my Workforce printer. Check out this video to see how easy it is!
• Wifi- this has got to be my favorite feature!! I have this printer wirelessly hooked up to my network thru wifi and we can access it from any where in the house with any of our computers.

I haven't had the printer long enough to see how long the ink cartridges last, but so far so good!

This thing can do pretty much anything you want it to, it truly is an all-in-on printer.

Thanks again to Epson, and We Speak Media for an amazing prize and conference!

Flat TidyMom is going to Nashville {Blissdom or Bust}

In two weeks bloggers from all over will be gathering in Nashville for the Blissdom Conference. They will be learning more about blogging, connecting with other bloggers, and making new friends Blissdom10 buzz is every where!

Unfortunately, not everyone that wants to go CAN go. As much as I'd love to go, it's just not going to happen for me this year.............

or is it?

My amazingly creative and talented friend Cathe of Just Something I Made is going and we were hoping we would be able to meet in person.....even share a room and some laughs!

Jokingly, during one of our conversations I told Cathe that if I couldn't make it...she could take Flat TidyMom!!

Well, Cathe LOVED the idea!

In no time, Cathe not only had Flat TidyMom ready to go, she even made her a couple of conference day outfits, a cocktail dress, workout wear, and some jammies for movie night!

OMG, isn't she just TOO CUTE!?

And being the kind and VERY generous person that Cathe is.....

she has created PDF files so

YOU too can take a friend to Blissdom

or send your fabulous flat self with a friend who is going!

Click over to Just Something I Made and get all the details from Cathe!

and if you're one of the lucky 500 who will be attending Blissdom...

please look for me and Cathe! We'd love to meet you AND get a picture with you!

I'm REALLY hoping I can get a picture with Harry Connick Jr! He's going to sing at Blissdom10!

{swoon}.....don't make my butt look too big Cathe!

The Girlfriends Guide to the Business of Blogging Worked for ME....

Head over to We Are THAT Family for Works for ME Wednesday and see what other's are blogging about!

Following my Bliss

Follow Your Bliss

"do something that makes you happy"

That is the theme of Blissdom 2010

Blissdom is a fabulous blogging conference that brings bloggers from all over together face to face, to get new ideas, tips and inspiration to take your blog to new spheres.

My blog doesn't really fit into a particular niche.

It's just my voice.
I'm not just a stay-at-home mom who loves to bake, craft, photography, bargain shopping, or a housewife who obsesses over keeping things tidy,
but also a woman with multiple interests, a little creativity,
and her own unique perspective.

I write about what I know and love,
with the hope that my readers will like me for who I am,
and want to come along for the ride.
THAT my friends, is following MY BLISS.

Blogging, being on Facebook and enjoying Twitter
give me the opportunity to meet other women I might not have otherwise met.

Bliss would be meeting many of them in person!

Kimberly of Mom in the City is offering a FABULOUS Giveaway!

She is not able to attend Blissdom 2010 in Nashville this year
due to family scheduling,
so she is
GIVING away a Blissdom Conference Pass
so someone else can go!!
How amazing is THAT?!

While I am still working on finding a conference sponsor,
a FREE Conference Pass would certainly put me one step closer to Nashville.

Thanks again to Kimberly for the chance to win!
