Well ya’ll, we have slipped into some new skin for the new year!
What do you think? We love it! It’s like highlights, a facial, and a new outfit and we’re feeling pre-tty good! But it isn’t just our new look that has us feelin’ all snazzy, it’s that in THREE days tickets for the Allume conference go on sale!
Come Saturday at Midnight, EST, early bird tickets (only 50!) and regular tickets will be released! WOOT! So plan on staying up late on FRIDAY night because at 11:59pm THE GAME IS ON! Also, we’ll be having a Twitter hangout from 11pm EST to Midnight with prizes…including an Allume ticket being up for grabs! More on that later.
For today, in celebration of our new look and tickets going on sale, we have a GIVEAWAY!

February 25, 2014 at 7:22 amYes! I love the new look. This is going to be my first Allume and there is so much that I’m looking forward to. The speaker line up is out of this world, I can’t wait to hug my Five Minute Friday girl’s necks, and I am going to share a room with my bloggy bestie! Also, it is my birthday weekend, so there will be cake!

Diane Bailey says
February 25, 2014 at 9:15 amI cannot wait to be at Allume!! I am looking forward to worshipping God Almighty in real life with online friends around the country who have become friends, is touching to tears. I love sitting in the prayer room praying for others and writing words of affirmation and encouragement to old and new friends in the books, and sometimes to people I’ve never met. I want to sit in cozy places and listen to the stories of other women, and hear how God is moving in their lives. I love going to Allume because I see it loving on women who come tired and life-weary, and leaving with joy!

February 25, 2014 at 9:54 amY’all. I am going to have a month old baby, and I may be crazy for even considering coming, but I’m going to make a go for it (most likely with my mom in tow), because I love this conference, and because I can’t think of a better place to soothe postpartum hormonal craziness. 🙂
Mollianne Buster Massey says
February 25, 2014 at 9:56 amTwice I’ve bought tickets. Twice I’ve had to sell them before the conference due to life at home. THIS YEAR…maybe this is the year I’ll get to go 🙂 Praying so!

One of the highlights was getting to meet women who I “knew” online, but had never met in real life. What a privilege it was to be a part of this wonderful retreat and movement.

Christa Sterken says
February 25, 2014 at 2:24 pmIt all looks great! On the “book your hotel room” link, I don’t see a price. Is there a set one, or shall we just make a regular reservations? I look forward the meeting people from far away and sharing fellowship with women who give so much of themselves in their words. Thanks ♥
Logan Wolfram says
February 26, 2014 at 9:46 amThe hotel room block for Allume doesn’t open up until tickets go on sale. We wanted to avoid having people book rooms that haven’t bought tickets because it caused a bit of a hassle for us this past year. The negotiated Allume rate will be available then as well.
Christa Sterken says
February 26, 2014 at 10:52 amThank you Logan!
Eucharisteo says
February 25, 2014 at 2:32 pmIf I’m able to attend again I’m looking forward to the relationships that will be made!
