I Screamed Like A Girl!

Did you see my post today "OH SHIT!! I WON!!"

Actually it is really hard for me to concentrate to explain all this but I will do my best!

There is an awesome photographer that I have followed for years, Kelly Brown.... she lives in Australia, beautiful and brilliant. I have taken a class she did before on a program called Creative Live- it is a place for creatives and business classes- you can check them out here- actually a very neat thing they do!

Anywho- Kelly posted a few weeks ago that she is coming to America to do another class- this time going in deep on the photography side and business side of it. Creative Live always invites people to be in the audience to get more hands on learning with the pros. I have applied many times for different classes, but I really wanted to be a part of this class. I never thought it out about how I could or even how I could make it work, but I applied. In fact, yesterday I made a comment about how I keep wishing to see an email that I had won a seat to her class.

Today, I GOT THAT EMAIL!!! What is even more exciting is I learned I was hand picked by KELLY herself. Do you know how awesome that is??!! Like fucking awesome (sorry mom- but I am excited) There is a total of 10 people selected out of like HUNDREDS from all over the world. In fact one of the girls going is from Germany!

Bad news.... we are required for our own travel and accomadations. Good news- there is someone that has TimeShare and has opened it up to 3 other girls to share!! Oh and I need to cover my expense for dinners while I am there.

So a trip to Seattle to meet AND work with one of my photography idols.
March 7-11

I have 48 hours to let Creative Live know for sure if I will be there. And I feel terribly guilty for even begging to try to get there- my hubby works very hard for all of us and there just is not the extra means to send me on my way. It is no fault on him- he wants to make it happen, we just can't do it on our own.

So here is my shameless family plug!!!

Help Send Me To Seattle!!!


I have set up a Go Fund Account in hopes that I can make this happen. I need to raise $700 to cover expenses - a little less if I packed peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! Here is the link if you would like to help- no pressure ;) - Think of it as an early birthday gift!
