It's May Day!

Gosh, where does time go? It seems like just last week there was snow on the ground and today it was in the 70's! Lots has happened since you last heard from me. First I did my first Dream Event and man was it amazing!! I had a blast! The people there were wonderful and sales were great. I took the cutter and spent most of the weekend cutting some new graduation overlays. Wait till you see them! I'll try to get photos up in the next couple of days. I did manage to get some pictures of the crowd, though, while they were doing the Village People's "YMCA" song. Talk about hilarious -- these folks were great. Teresa (Scrapbooker's Buzz) and I had a terrific time and look forward to next year's event. If you are still waiting for the Easter kit, watch the website in the next few days -- it's done and it's going live. ;)


Now that it's spring, how many of you are out taking pictures of the flowers and things? If you are like me, you are tired of taking snow pictures and you are more than ready to start on blooming things like trees and flowers. Since May is National Photography month, I thought I would offer a few photography suggestions for you. First, although I'm sure you want to take pictures of everything, try to focus your attention on the details. Let me demonstrate... the first picture here is a pear tree in my backyard. I love the blooms and I think the tree is beautiful but the first photo just doesn't do it justice. The second picture is much more beautiful to me than the whole tree. It shows a cluster of flowers with the greenery of the tree in the background. Same tree, same flowers, but looks at the difference! If I were looking at a scrapbook with the first picture, I would probably glance at it and go on but the second one would definitely catch my attention. How about you? Look at your photos and see if you are missing the details.

Okay, it's off to bed to rest up before the 3rd Annual MOPS Crop this weekend. I talked to the organizers and they have TWICE as many people this year as they did last year! WOOHOO!! Should be a fantastic time! If you signed up, I'll see you there. If not, there's always next year.

Until the next time, happy scrappin'!
