BUT.... I've just fallen in love again. With www.moo.com.
I'm not even going to tell you how late I stayed up last night making business cards. You can use 50 different pictures..... Narrowing down all these years of the 3-Day into 50 favorite pictures??? CRAZY.
But, Oh, I can't wait for my cards to land on my doorstep. Each picture evokes a memory. A story. A warm, fuzzy feeling. And while it may look like me, me, me, me, me.... I soon realized it would create a bit of confusion if I had my favorite picture of Dione Beilgard on the back of one of my cards.
Not all of these made the cut, but here are my faves....
Team Tiara 2008:
I've always loved this picture. Each and every team member brings something to our team. Lisa Street brought "The Sign."

Gosh how would you ever pick? I love that last one though! No I love lots of them! I so wish I could have started this journey from the beginning with you... I am so glad to be on it now though! Love you and congrats on making it to year 13 with Biggsy... I knew you when!
Isn't Moo fantastic? A bit more than other places, BUT the photo mix is worth it! I just ordered some of their mini cards, but now may have to order some photo versions thanks to your inspiration! And loved your photos. Thanks for sharing and hope to meet you in Dallas this year! :)
I am a picture taker by heart, a Creative Memories consultant by profession for the last 12 years so when I saw all your pictures...I drooled. I can't wait to take my own. Is it safe to take my own fabulous camera with the extreme zoom (no change of lenses or huge bag or anything like that). Will I get sick of carrying it on myself all the time? I hauled a pretty heavy backpack through Disney for 8 days, all day long, about 10 hours a day. I'm just wondering. I think I'm going to need more than a fanny pack, prob a small backpack. Is this unadvisable? I'm a first time walker, walking in DC with my best friend. She lives in MD but neither of us has any family close by to be "runners" for us (loved your plan for that). What do you think? Backpack or not? We could probably take turns, me and my bff. And I could always pull the cancer surgery/scar tissue/pain/could you carry the bag card - lol! Seriously, would love some advice from an experienced walker(s) ~ other readers feel free to chime in. Thanks!

Heather, Kayren and I've been talking about how I need to do a camera post. I can tell you this -- I travel light. Even a loaf of bread gets heavy after 60 or so miles. The first year, I had this HUGE fanny pack that we all affectionately refer to as the Butt Truck. The thing was... with a big something like that you feel obligated to fill it. And everyone else feels obligated to help you fill it. And it was heavy! I really would go with a small, portable camera. I know it's not going to take the best pix ever, but there are so many variables out there -- especially with weather and crazy firemen spraying you with water. Remember, even at Disney you weren't walking the entire time. You got to rest in lines or on the rides. And seriously, your back, feet, shoulders, etc. will hate you if you carry too much. Remember, this is an incredibly taxing event -- both mentally and physically.
I know I'm an opinionated little fart -- but I hope that helps.
Thanks!Will take under consideration. 2 weeks to go!
Heather
