BBBS: Back to School Shopping
This year Big Brothers Big Sisters gave “scholarships” of $50 to each Little specifically for clothes and shoes for back-to-school. Jessica and I shopped at TJ Maxx, Rue 21, and Target; she came away with four shirts, leggings, jeans, hairbands, and some unmentionables.
Of course, new clothes means we have to have a photo shoot!
I’ve been reading a lot about photography and I really see how a reflector or some kind of fill flash would have helped in the late evening light. Somehow, though, I doubt Jessica will care one way or the other ^_^
When we get together next, Jessica is going to write a thank-you letter to the donor who made our awesome shopping trip possible and to BBBS for being all-around awesome!

Photos: Scrapapalooza
Traci, Lea Ann, and I have been making a habit of attending the Scrapapalooza events held about three times a year by Scrapbook Generation and Star 105.1. The most recent was held June 26 at Remington’s, and I made sure to take lots of photos.
Partway through the off-and-on stormy day, the power went out!
Luckily, it came back on within a few minutes.
Our day lasted from about 8:45 am to 9:30 pm. That’s a LOT of scrapbooking!

The “My Blog is Carbon Neutral” program
Via EcoSalon this morning: the My Blog is Carbon Neutral initiative. The goal is to plant a tree for each participating blog/website in Plumas National Forest in Northern California, helping to reforest after wildfires. Since it’s easy to join, I figured why not? More information is available here.
