I got heck for not posting....

But here I am. Sorry, Cara. The last month has been surprisingly full. The work I've done in the past month has been the kind I don't normally post up. There were a couple of home staging before & after projects - that's an art all by itself. The people who know exactly how to make a home show it's value really do their homework and make beautiful spaces shine. They probably make not so beautiful spaces shine too.
There were also Corporate jobs -portraits of directors and groups, annual general meeting type stuff. This is where being a portable studio comes in very handy.
Our son had his DARE grad, which is the final cap on a substance abuse and awareness program sponsored by the Piper Creek Optimists. All the grade fives go through it.
Last week my husband managed to pull a surprise out for me. I didn't think I was that easy to spring anything on, but apparently, I'm pretty trusting/oblivious. He drove the family down to Calgary on Friday with some 'business' reason to be at the airport. I don't suspect a thing, because he's mentioned going downtown for Chinese food once we're done. This is quite in character for him. I was mildly annoyed about having to go into the airport just to drop this thing off, but he assured me that he had to meet the person to give it to them.
I didn't even suspect anything- I mean not a whiff - when I saw that an Abbotsford plane was just arriving. I did say something about it, because that's where my Mom lives. My husband stops and suggests that we wait and see if anyone we knew was getting off. Do you think I clued in then??? No. I just asked him WHAT he was doing. About 16 seconds later, when I saw my Mom, that's when I got it. HA! We had a very nice weekend with her, including the 'big dinner' on Saturday.
Tomorrow I leave for Winnipeg and the Professional Photographers of Canada Convention. Four of my prints are in national competition, and the judging is tomorrow...I'll know almost as soon as I get to the hotel how I did. I'm very excited to see if any of them are accepted.
I will be returning calls while I'm gone if time permits, and will be back on Thursday.
I'll take care of anything I miss Thursday afternoon.
Have a great weekend!
