An EVENT for you (gasp!)…
Journaling reads:
"A tale of 2 friends at a Scrapbook Convention~ We got lost on the way to the hotel. We went crazy at the Vendor Faire. We had good classes and (one) not-so-good class. We had to beg total strangers for their table at Margaritas. We laughed until we cried. We concocted get-rich-and-quit-our-jobs schemes. We got a few layouts done. I met a fellow Pea. We saw Becky Higgins (okay, so only I saw Becky – sorry Gina!). We had so much fun!"
Btw, I wasn’t trying to whine yesterday…really more of a matter of fact "I’m still doing it even if it’s uncool" statement. Bold of me, eh? Besides, I read on someone else’s blog that now events are in and moments are out. I can’t keep up! It actually cracks me up that so many people get caught up in the politics of scrapbooking. Now there’s a silly statement- "politics of scrapbooking." And it cracks me up that I let myself get caught up in it every now & then!
It feels like fall this morning. It’s in the mid-50s outside, and 65 degrees here downstairs. It’s time to start Back-to-School shopping. The kids don’t need much, but we love the "tradition" of BTS. I adore school supplies. I’m bummed that neither of my kids need new crayons. Maybe I’ll buy some for me! I will take this opportunity to whine about not having a Target….my favorite place for BTS shopping. Nope, not a single Target in our entire state. Not to worry, though, we’ll make a special trip when we head to New York in a couple of weeks.
Still having fun with my digital camera, so here’s a new pic for you of my hibiscus…
Now to figure out what song to post for today….

That settles it- not moving where you live, I go to Target every week!!! “Target” just may have been Brandon’s second word (after “mama”)…ha ha…And, please don’t remind me that school is starting soon.

NO Target??? Oh the horror!!!! Love your “events” layout. Very scrapolitically correct.
