I can’t believe how much stuff was packed into that swag bag. Yes, in the bottom left of the picture is indeed a lanyard. Don’t tell Bill that I am wearing it after all the fuss I put up about not wearing that lanyard in St. Louis. I still am not a lanyard wearing kind of girl but for this event I can suck it up a little.

Remember the story about the dress that Hazel wanted before she was even born? I am so glad that I bought it for her just because, as Hazey-Face’s Grandmom, I can.
As you can see, Hazel is glad that Grandmom can too.

I’m running away from the circus for a few days.
Creative Photography Retreat (CPR) is here to empower you with the skills you’ll need to take more of the photographs you’ve always wanted.
Register for your spot at this debut event – the only one of its kind – where you’ll indulge in two days of exclusive and specialized photography training with a scrapbooking focus. This is a great opportunity to study the capacity of your SLR or dSLR camera.
Surround yourself with aspiring photographers like yourself while you learn from some of the industry’s most qualified photographers and inspirational scrapbook experts. CPR’s interactive classes will provide you with hands-on experience and “exposure” to top techniques for capturing everyday moments, creating priceless portraits, and making your photographs even better than ever. You’ll learn to perfect even the trickiest of photography and editing skills.
I have been so looking forward to this for a few months now…I get to learn more and more about my favorite toy along with learning more about photo editing of which I know that I know very little about. I am disappointed that one of the keynote speakers, Ali Edwards, will not be attending because I so wanted to meet her. Our photography, scrapbooking and journaling styles are fairly similar and I identify with her joys and struggles raising a son with special needs and learning challenges. But I also understand her need to bow out in order to focus on the birth of her next child. It’s all good. I probably would have come off a little too much a like a scary stalker fan if I were to meet her face to face.
Still it will be good to get away from the stress of the circus life for a few days. The very first thing on my agenda will be a long, very long, bubble bath followed by a nap!
