I asked 31 bloggers the same 35 questions for my 31Days Series.
Here are their answers:
It’s the weekend of the ‘Lindsay’s’
Ahhhh Lindsay. I could hug her neck off, and I am going to today after not seeing her for a year…. She was one of a few in this series that I actually know personally. And she is a fellow Texan, high fives all around.
Lindsay from Makely was one that I started to heavily stalk the year before my first conference. And I mean heavily. Her projects blow.my.mind.
We became Facebook friends and chatted before the conference and then I got to meet her in the summer of 2013. That weekend wasn’t enough for me, I wanted to dig into this woman’s brain, if you know what I mean.
And then when I figured out that she was going to ACL last year too, I knew she was my kind of girl. And that’s where we are meeting back up today!
Her amazing eye for color, detail, whimsy and design style is something I cannot get enough of. You guys are gonna looooove Lindsay.
