Cindee Lynne: Meeting of Like Minds

It's not about fashion, but I have a blog, I told my friend, Elaine, regarding the invitation on her blog for a blogger's meet-up, Can I come? I was relieved that I was not the only non-fashion blogger there. Not that the girls weren't fashionable--anything but--it just made for interesting conversation with an eclectic group of people.

I'm always interested to hear the reasons why people start blogs: because they were bored, because they had a skill they could share with the world wide community, because they wanted to document what was going on in their lives. For me, blogging started as a journal, turned into a current events commentary, evolved into a place I could keep in touch with people far away from me, and ended up as a venue to share what photos I had taken recently, mostly for my family as I practice shooting their kids. Hmm. With my camera.

This blog never really found its groove and that is why I wanted to announce that a new blog is coming soon. A new blog that will hopefully have a defined purpose and designated direction. Check back soon for the link. In the meantime, enjoy these pictures from last night's killer meet-up. And thanks to Elaine and Meg for the OPI prize. I never win anything!

Disclaimer: please forgive the quality of these photos. :)

Aren't they all so stylish? Sheesh.

Such a cute smile on this little guy. Pictures don't do justice.

Meg of Fresh Brownies in b & w to hide the horrendous backlighting that made us jaundiced! It was so fun to find so much in common. I'll be coming to visit you soon, as promised!

Cutest Elaine, whom I adore. Thanks for letting me come to your cool party.

I now have a jealousy of a certain someone moving to Hawaii, an interest in learning more about commercial fishing, and a desire to make friends with the sewing machine again...without stabbing myself with a seam-ripper this time.
