Back from the Creative Photography Retreat last weekend. WOW. Was I ever impressed!! It was truly fabulous. The teachers and the event overall was just phenomenal!! If you were trying to decide whether you should attend or not, GO! It is well worth the money and it was a BLAST!  I doesn’t even matter what level you feel your photography is at, if you are more advanced, or just starting out, you will walk away completely inspired.

Here is just one of my favorite images I took from the weekend. To me, it really sums up just how much fun I had :) The assignment was to take a picture of something retro…

LOL, it just makes me smile :)  From Left to right: Lori, Andrea, Tana and Melody.  Melody was new to our little group, and we all had SO MUCH FUN!

So, I am still to get back into the swing of things.. Seems as I have a little problem though..  Just Two Words.

Stephenie. Meyer.

Yeah, I’ve been bitten. I held off for pretty long though!! Remarkably long actually since I LOVE vampire books. (go Anne Rice!)

I started reading Twilight on the airplane to San Jose, (ignoring Lori completely no less) didn’t have much time to read at the event, but read again on the way home (sorry Lori!)  Read more last night and took a mental health day today ;) to finish the second book.. LUCKILY, when I was at the book store purchasing the second book, I also grabbed the third. As I was walking to the counter with both books under my arms I could feel the stares I was getting.. Poor girl, they must have thought. She doesn’t stand a chance.

And I didn’t . But I am loving every moment of it.. Trying to get a little bit accomplished today so that tonight, after the girls are in bed, I can snuggle up to the third book until my eyes will  no longer stay open :) AHHH.

So, please forgive me if I don’t have quite as many goodies in the store for our sale. I promise to have SOMETHING :) I am also trying to juggle some Fancy Pants deadlines, as well as various other projects.. So we shall see how well I fare.

Wish me luck!!
