The big Round up

I realy have a love hate relationship with this blog. I get super excited about it then i get bored or resent feeling like I HAVE to post.

So here is a quick recap of the last :gulp: 3 months.

The big thing is I went on a tour of the Pacific North West and fell head over heels in love with the place. If I could I would move to Portland tomorrow. (I also loved Seattle, and the coasts too). Something about this place just totally resonated with me.


And I didn't just randomly go. I went specifically to attend BlytheCon 2011. I had an absolutely amazing time and spent most of the trip hanging out with Melissa and having an absolute blast getting to know people I had only talked to online. And the dolls. the dolls, dolls, dolls!!! It was overwhelming and fun and exhausting all at the same time. I scored my first ET helmet and met Ruth who was an absolute delight. I met Roz who did one of the classiest things Ive ever seen and stepped back from bidding against me so I could buy my first Sammy Doe. I got to hang out with so many fun people in line before BC and during the event!


And I loved it so much Im planning the next one! Yep Im nuts. Luckily I have tons of help from Erica and Morgan. We are doing it in Dallas at the fabulous Gaylor Texan. It was a HUGE amount of work to get it up and running but we are doing really well and have close to 90 registrants and are just under a year out! Not too shabby! Oh and Lirije did the most amazing logo for us! Maybe if I get skinny enough I can wear a matching outfit!



Oh and I have been scrapping some. Not very much as things have been sort of weird and hectic. Here a re the last couple of layouts I have done:




Next on the horizon: A Blog hop this weekend, more crocheting, more dolling, and soon oh so very soon a trip to see my growing family!! (and maybe some more blogging)

Just back from the Happiest Place on Earth

Ok well mostly it was the happiest place on earth. It was also one of the hottest. I think I have learned that the only safe time to go to Disney world is mid November through Mid March. I also learned that even the tiny amount of aerobics I have been doing this year since March makes a huge difference when you get out there and start walking 5+miles a day.

Luckily I got to see and do just about everything I had planned to. I also took pictures. Lots and Lots of pictures. About 25 GIGS worth. Sure a ton of them were crappy but some weren't bad at all. This was my first real trip with my Rebel and I tried to take full advantage of that.

I have just started culling some of the photos: Here are some decent ones so far (no I'm not going to post more than a few so don't worry about being trapped in someone else's vacation slide show hell. lol)

Now I have to get back to the reality of laundry and housekeeping. Sigh.....


PS: a HUGE THANK YOU to Krissy for allowing the Atlanta peas to use her DVC! Without her generosity we wouldn't have gone!
