Silver Bella Sophomore Year

I'm so very thrilled to be able to make the trek again this year down to Omaha, to the land of Teresa McFayden and the kingdom of Silver Bella. Last year was my first year, and oh my, I was in shock! Just seeing all the faces that went with Flickr and blogs and websites...I felt like a freshman going to high school on the first day and being awestruck by all the already-initiated and oh-so-cool upperclassmen.

But this year I'll be a sophomore. One who is in her second year of an endeavor. Now that I know a little bit of the landscape and the goings-on, I'm hoping to be less of a wall-flower, timidly watching all the escapades, and get in on some fun myself. Well, maybe.

The line-up of instructors! Oh the line up....and, as if the instructors weren't grand enough, Mary Engelbreit will be the guest speaker at our little luncheon. Is it November yet?

Ever since the day after Silver Bella last year, I've been just waiting for round two. My only sadness is that a blogging friend who I met last year and was looking forward to getting to more this year, may have to pass. I know that she is probably sad too, but sometimes life is just like that. I'm kinda mourning that loss. But there are a few others I got to meet and I'll get to see them again...a reunion of sorts...this time, though, I'm a little wiser, a little older and not a freshman!
