I’m heading down to the Big Smoke tomorrow for The Blogcademy, a weekend workshop with well-known bloggers Kat from Rock ’n’ Roll Bride, Gala Darling and Shauna Haider from Nubby Twiglet.
The workshop covers everything from branding to social media and improving your photography skills.
My excitement levels are pretty much through the roof at this point and I’ve been walking round the house all week crying, “London, baby!” like I’m Joey from Friends.
For me, this whole weekend is a mini-adventure, full of new experiences and inspiring people. Since I booked my place in November, I’ve been checking in to the secret Blogcademy Facebook group (check us out – how very 007!) most days and getting to know the other bloggers, sharing their website-related plans and trying to help with their problems.
After a last minute panic today, I even managed to produce some business cards to promote Ten Penny Dreams!
This weekend I’m hoping to pick up lots of tips on moving forward with the blog and making it the best it can be. Plus, I’m pretty damn excited about the goodie bags!
So, hopefully the predicted monumental snowfall won’t hit tomorrow and leave me stranded on a train in the middle of nowhere!
Blogcademy girls: I can’t wait to meet you all this weekend! x

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow my north-eastern friend 🙂 hope your journey was ok 🙂 I forgot to answer your question the other day, I’m originally from from Gateshead but grew up in the Midlands so my brummy undertones may confuse hehe. I’m in Newcastle all the time though, all my family are there 🙂
