Hahah… we are such geeks*! I, too, ordered bloggity business cards to hand out at ALA…
*I, of course, say this with love.
Sweet!
The cards look fabulous — you are sure to be a hit!!!
Thanks – I’m looking forward to it. Will you be attending?
No, I won’t be at this one, though it does sound fabulous. I am dipping my toes into the national conference thing by attending NCTE in November. Will you be at that one?
Have a wonderful time in Chicago (one of my all-time favorite cities)!!
