Icing on the Cake (My Weekend in Pennsylvania, Part 1)

Sunday, September 12, 2010 by Lolli 26 Comments

I have so much I’d love to share about my weekend in Pennsylvania for the Philly Bloggy Bootcamp, but the details will have to wait. While I was making the final touches on my Powerpoint presentation in Mommy’s Still Fabulous’ basement, my sister was delivering her brand new baby girl. Since I was already away from the family, I figured an extra few hours on the trip home wouldn’t hurt anyone….and I made a stop at the hospital to visit my sister and my newest niece.

This little girl was a little over a month early, but she is doing amazing. She is perfect in every way, and I already adore her. Plus, my sister looks fabulous.  Holding my new niece and chatting with my beaming sister and brother in law were definitely the icing on the cake of a fantastic weekend.

    your pictures are beautiful and that is so fun that you got to see here while you were already out of town. The luck of her being a month early is crazy.

    WOW – now that’s one exciting weekend! It was great meeting you this weekend – and that presentation was fantastic.

    Especially the hand-out, I love how it’s small enough to fit in my camera bag!

    I might have to take you up on that someday. I never got to see the city, except on the way to the freeway. ;)

    The collages are done with moirai compositor in Photoshop (I won it from I Heart Faces recently). The frames are done with an action (also in photoshop) form the Album Cafe. I love them both!

    I could have sworn I responded to this last night, yet there’s nothing here this morning. Hmm. I can’t tell you how grateful I am that my camera problem was fixed. Now I just need to hunt down all those pictures of me form Saturday night. They’re scattered all over the place!

    Thanks!! Newborns are tough to photograph, but she was very cooperative! Now I’m an aunt 6 times over!
