Hanging out.
Here for another day in Madison, WI after a very cool adventure to the Two Peas crop & sale. Staying with Kristina and Jeff (owners of Two Peas). Kristina and I rested on the couch today, watched a movie, and took a nap. Right now, Jeff is making dinner. Looking forward to seeing some of Kristina's favorite little shops in Madison tomorrow.
Can you imagine that I forgot my camera? Totally forgot it.
The good thing is that I was there with a bunch of friends who all had their cameras up and going. Cool photos to come in the next few days I am sure.
Loved the chance to meet up with many of my friends from Two Peas. Chatting in person is always more fun than online. Brings a whole new dimension to my world. Hearing voices. Laughing. Also loved meeting with the people attending the crop. Enjoyed looking at their pages. Being inspired by their product choices and the stories they were telling. Always makes my job that much more real to me on a larger level.
Looking forward to getting home. Getting back to my family. Relieving Chris. Getting to work on my next big project. Coming home with lots of goodies to inspire me.
Love being here in Kristina's studio. Like looking through all her goodies and supplies - the things that make her creative juices go wild. She has a great little book in here called The Art of Moment. The first chapter opens with the following: On this earth, you get a prize for just showing up. Joy is your birthright. Now and then, all through your life, you can expect to feel lighthearted, often when you least expect it... It looks like lots more gems like that come in the following chapters. Maybe I will read some of it before falling asleep.
So glad you had a great time. So wish I could have been there. Can't wait to see all teh pics and hear all the fun stories. :) Saft travels home tomorrow!

For sure, the highlight of the weekend was getting to meet you, have you sign my copy of your book and just chatting. You are a wonderful person and I wish the continued best for you and your family. Thanks for being an inspiration.

Another book to add to my ever growing list of books to read. From the pics I've seen, it looks like the crop was a blast.

It was SO much fun hanging out with you guys on Saturday - the crop was incredible! I actually feel like I "know" some of you now, in a Hollywood-fan-turned-stalkerish kind of way...LOL!
Have a great trip home!

It was incredible to meet you, I love how down to earth you are(sorry about the blond joke, I know it was gross) but you were a good sport. I only wish I had your book for you to sign for me. I had a great time. You and Tara rock the block. Hopefully, my pics will turn out, i'll email you.
Thanks again, Cindy "the dork"
