Home from ACFW in St. Louis

Oh what a fun time we had. Here are just a few pics from the conference. You can see lots more on Facebook. And Tracie, brava, lady! Wonderful job keynoting for the conference.

Some of the Writes of Passage gals. 
Robin and Cathy, we missed you both! 
(Doesn't Judy clean up nice?)

Ms. Sawyer and I were tired of getting our pictures taken....

Laughing with Liz Curtis Higgs. But really, what else do you do 
around this woman? Her joy is contagious! 

Hanging with Judy and our own Patti Jo Moore. Love these ladies.

Judy tried her best to steal this picture, thinking it went well with her jacket and purse. But we managed to keep her in line. Not easy...

Giggling with Dianne Burnett of CBD.com. She is hysterical! Love her.

There are soooo many glimpses of the conference and some really fun moments on facebook, when you have a minute.


I picked up some books at the conference and one of them can be yours! If you'd like to be entered in the drawing for one of the books pictured above, just note that in your comment on this blog post (anytime through Monday of next week, U.S. and Canada addresses only pls) and your name will go in the hat!

I'm off and running this morning. As good as it was to go to ACFW, it's fabulous to be home and back in the swing of things, and writing on this next book.

Blessings on your Tuesday,
Tammy

Looks like a wonderful time was had by all!! :-)

House of Secrets sounds like a good book, though I would probably go for any of them :) Thanks!

Kav said...

Great pictures. I watched the awards ceremony on Saturday night. It was fun to see the authors I'd read in action. :-)

Anne Mateer said...

I so enjoyed getting to visit with you a bit! Thank you for being so gracious to those of us a little farther behind you on the writing journey!

Glad you had a great time! I didn't get to go to ACFW, but I went to a Mom's conference and it was amazing, too! But I agree...it is great to be back home! Hope the next book comes along well. I would love to be entered into your book drawing. The "Seeds" one looks good to me! Thanks and God bless~Stacey

Visiting with you (and the other Writes of Passage Ladies) was one of THE biggest highlights of this Conference, Tammy! And of course the workshop you and Deb Raney presented was excellent *smile*. But I agree with you---as awesome as ACFW conferences are, it's always nice to be home! (My kitties are glad Mom is home too!). Love, Patti Jo :)

Meghan said...

What a fun, fun time!!! All three of those books look fabulous and great editions to my "library." I'm not picky, but considered me "entered" :)

Holly Renee said...

It looks like you had a great time! I'll never forget the class you taught on dissecting novels that we read. I STILL pull out that material and use it. LOL.

Seeing everyone's pictures has inspired me to start saving up for next year. Since I'm buying my freedom back from Honda Financial next month (last car payment!), I will definitely get to attend in Dallas.

Pam said...

It's fun to see the photos from ACFW.
Thank you for being so generous to give away books. If I won, I would like House of Secrets, since I have the other two books.

Jackie S. said...

Hey gals. It's been a running day so I'm just now checking back in.

Catherine, you're name's in the hat!
Kav, I LOVE that they're streaming the ceremony now. So nice.
Anne, it was a PLEASURE to meet you! So glad we connected.
Linda, good for you for asking about the "tea pee." : )
Stacey, so glad your conference went well, and yes! You and Dorothy and I agree on 'home.'
Patti Jo, it was so fun to see you, lady! Always is.
Meghan, you're entered, babe!
Holly, you made my night, woman. Thanks for that! My first motto when teaching is always "Do no harm."
Pam & Jackie, consider yourselves entered into the drawing too!
Thanks for visiting, ladies!

I was drawn to the title Blood Covenant, but I'm sure they're all wonderful books.

Judy said...

I loved of the photos! It looks like you all had such a fun time!

I love seeing all the pictures for the conference. Was so glad my sweet sister, Janet Bly could be there. I have no doubt sitting around chatting with ya'll is much fun. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, Connie Sue

Blessed said...

Well since I have a weakness for good books and am not buying any for myself these days... I'd love to win any of these. I've read several of Tracie Peterson's books and enjoyed them but don't think I've read anything by the other two author's so maybe one of those books if I happen to get chosen. I love finding new-to-me author's!

proverbialreads said...

Looks like you had a great time. And yes, I'd like to be entered to win :)

Tammy, thanks for putting up the photos; enjoyed seeing you folks having such a grand time! I've read Seeds of Summer, but please put my name in the hat anyway. The joy in the photos (except for that one of you and Kim) helped to make my day begin on a good footing. Thanks.

Kerry said...

I would appreciate being entered into the drawing for any of these books. All three sound great
