so let me just tell you what’s going down next year at this time…mark your calendars, Lord willing, i’ll be at renegade 2010. that’s a big goal, i know! lots of work, i know!!!

saturday was exhilarating – just like christmas morning ‘86 when i got a talking cabbage patch kid doll AND my first sony walkman – absolute spastic body-gyrating excitement. surrounded by amazing talent and creativity, i couldn’t keep a focused mind on anything. i’m pretty sure i clipped the heals of at least twenty folks with the stroller. we darted from booth to booth like hummingbirds in search of sugar water. i mostly led the frantic pace, tommy and wren didn’t seem to mind too much. we went with some friends who were just as crazed, we were all overwhelmed and way too excited to focus on one thing for more than ten seconds. the downside was that i didn’t take many photos as planned and i forgot to purchase most of the artwork i had intended to buy later in the day. devastating.

best parts of the day: finally met my paper pal adriana from in-vita paper studio. met matt cipov {LOVE his creatures of the deep and zombies} chatted a bit about future projects and told him that even though a few of his creatures are a little too scary for wren’s room right now, we’ll enjoy them elsewhere in our home. also met the very talented lorena siminovich from petit collage. chatted with a nice gal from etsy, forgot her name, but scored some yummy handmade chapstick. and finally, made a purchase for wren’s room, that cute whale above by handmade julz. everyone was very friendly. a great, positive vibe.

we couldn’t end things without a bang though – massive blowout care of wren right before we left. fortunately, everyone waiting in line at the changing table was patient {thanks adriana and calvin}.

next year can’t come soon enough.
