squam: through my viewfinder

I took "through the viewfinder," a class taught by Andrea from Hula Seventy. She is the cat's meow. She rocks my world. If you've ever looked at her blog, you know that she is easy and happy and simple and yummy. Well, she is in real life, too--only even more. She's my girl now. I'm a member of her posse. Do you understand? I love her.

I have so much to say. So much to catch you up on. But I don’t have time.

A little short on time ‘round here.




But I did go to “art camp” and I had such a great time. I learned new techniques and saw people and felt things. Maybe I’ll go into all that. But I probably won’t have time.

See what I’m getting at? It’s a time issue.


{Kristen} It is eye candy just being at Squam and seeing what a group of artists wear day to day. Dressing a body is an act of art. Didn't you know that?

But I’m going to force myself to take the time to show you a few pictures and to make a list of 10 things about my time away.


{Jonatha Brooke} Did you know Jonatha was a modern dancer before she became a rock star? I think this should be her next album cover, don't you?

1. It takes a LOT of planning and organization for a mom like me to go to “art camp”

2. it is worth it




3. I was better this year about feeling comfortable in my own skin. If I didn’t know anyone in the cafeteria, I would just sit down and learn about someone new.


This is not through my viewfinder, but I thought I'd show you a peek of what the cafeteria looks like.

4. Someone New is pretty interesting most of the time.



5. I love art

6. When I am doing something I love, I get energized.




7. The food there was like heaven. Not only was it delicious, but there was a LOT of it and I didn’t have to make it or clean it up. I made it policy to eat at least two plates of food at each meal and I didn’t feel guilty about it even once.



8. I have some new people added to my mental list of “Brittany’s favorite people of all time.”



9. Pretty much, hands down, people are even better in real life than on their blogs.



10. Artists support other artists. Not only by loving/buying each other’s creations, but by being supportive emotionally, too.
