“Swap Season” is here!

Since my last post, there have been a couple of BIG changes.  First, hubby is back working on someone’s payroll (instead of just consulting), HOORAY!  Second, we decided that I will attend Stampin’ Up! Convention this year after all!  DOUBLE HOORAY!
The new catalogs start shipping to demos this week.  I will have mine in my hot little hands by the end of the day on Wednesday, along with the new in colors (which I am ordering tomorrow).  There are 72 days before Convention.  It’s officially “Swap Season”.  So far, I have *only* joined 4 swaps and am hosting one.  I’m in two groups for two of the swaps.  I’m sure I will probably join the General Swap for the Stampin’ Addicts Meet & Greet as well.  Right now my swap commitment is 60 pieces.  I’m sure that will grow.  I usually end up somewhere around 100.  I also have started working on my roommate gifts for Mary Ann and Janice.  And I’m beading a new lanyard for myself.  Next on the list is to lose 5-7 pounds so I can fit into the pants I wore to Convention last year…..
I got some nice photos last night of the “Super Moon”  Here’s one of the 2 best shots.  The other one I posted on Facebook last night.  This one was taken with the lens at 280mm at ISO 400, f-11 at 1/320 (Canon Digital Rebel XTi):
