Oh my look at that, your camera has a Disturbing mode, what will they think of next?

Cool I look forward to your shots.
I don't know about everywhere, but in Maryland Renn Fest got very commercialized. It used to be that so many in the crowd dressed up and carried swords and stuff. At some point they started banning swords and knives. At that point it was sort of silly to wear armor so it seems a lot less people participated. I have not been in probably 4 years.

You and Leyla need to come to IL from July 4th weekend to Labor Day weekend. We feel under dressed in civi clothes.

Since we've been home, I changed into some dry clothes, and started scrapbooking! I haven't really stopped since I got home! I'm almost finished with my Disney Cruise 2004 album... I was in the mood to scrap my cruise! So I'm almost done and will finish it tonight! It's soooooo funny to look back at those pictures and see how tiny Alex and Sean were at the time... they were just a couple of months shy of 2 & 4!!!!! Now here we are... a couple of months shy of 7 & 9... MY HOW TIME FLIES!!!!!

Please send your scrapbook mojo my way. I have tons of supplies in <<<that corner and tons of pictures in >>>that corner.

only a quick couple of shots

Those are great Lisa! You swooned a red knight, nice Sorry Dan, you guys had a good run.

it's weird, those shots are sharp on my computer (except for the kiss shot) but they look soft on my laptop.

LOL

seriously all the women where I was sitting were just swooning over him (and he was really really good at playing everyone up). Then the blue night came in. He didn't try to play anyone up but nearly half the red knight's devotees moved over to the blue knight because he was "to die for" He was the strong silent type. Red was my fav.

We can do it together, I have been persuaded, and it did take some persuasion, to photograph my first wedding in 10 years (yes the last one I did was 10 years ago) So in two weeks time I am going to be having so much fun ............... NOT.

Are you insane??!?!

G'MAE all! I have an unfun day ahead. Hubby went and got our 5th wheel that we just bought from friends. We have to clean it. They left it a huge mess. A coke can exploded in fridge, yeah, they didn't clean it up. They were suppose to shampoo carpet, it didn't even get vacuumed. To say I am unpleased is an understatement. Really, when you sell something, don't you usually clean it for the next people to own it?

ugh, people suck.

Seems really descriptive.

Um, I could explain but it would probably take us into topics not appropriate for POTN.

I'm afraid to send it away... This weekend I cleaned/organized my scraproom... (it needs it again after today's frenzy of creation!) Went to a crop with some girlfriends at my mom's house... created 7-8 layouts there... then came home from the state fair today and created another 9 layouts... That's a total of SIXTEEN 12x12 pages!!!!!

OH and I didn't count the pages I did to finish up Mike's Christmas present!!!! I did another EIGHT 12x12 pages for THAT!!!! I can NOT believe how much I've done!!!!! Mike is going to LOVE his... it's THIS album by K & Co.... a while back I borrowed and scanned all his certificates... he's got some very cool ones... he was a VERY good Marine! So I took them all and have printed them on cardstock and created a 12 x12 layout of each certificate... I'm trying to get him to turn over his pictures... he doesn't want to do that because "they're no good... I was young and didn't know how to take pictures..." I keep trying to tell him I only want to 'preserve' them... because they are important no matter how 'bad' the picture So we'll see...

The last page I will do for that will be his formal portrait... I just need to print it... but want to photoshop out some of the bad spots from the original... it got a little beat up over the years.

So here's some ~~~~~~~ MOJO~~~~~ FOR~~~~~~ SARGE~~~~~~SCRAP~~~~ MOJO~~~~~

Those are fabulous, Permie. What ka-nigit were and Dan cheering? Did they have a number of jousts through the day that led to the Joust to the Death?

we did have fun. The minstrels were great. The actors were so much fun. Dan was rooting for the black knight. He was a villain & killed the blue and white knight during a "no kill" match.

Nice set there Lisa. I need to get back to a RenFair sometime now that I have a dslr. We went once in Colorado with my Dad, but those shots were with a P&S. Evan was having a blast giving change to the begger there....everytime someone gave him change, he would hit his own head with a frying pan. Evan kept giving the guy change just to see that.

She came down off of the hill where she was and she was all a-twitter. I kinda took the wind out of her sails when I told her, "Yeah, that's OK. I got some shots of the horse babe for Zane."

Your link isn't there but I'm pretty sure I know which one you have. I have the Air Force one...yeah, it is still in the box over in <<<<that corner.

You were a whirl wind scrapper this week, good for you.

I'll keep the mojo, though this week it is needed for card making. My oldest brother is turning 60 on the 17th of next month. We are all doing a card shower, my week to mail starts next Sunday.

Now those are my kind of ren fair shots!!! Nothing creepy!
