Honestly, I wasn’t trying to build endless suspense last Wednesday when I mentioned that another blogger might attend Photoshop World with me. (Go here for the whole scoop on my adventure.) I just never imagined it would be five days before I was able to sit down and write about it.
Tina, a.k.a. Antique Mommy, is one of my favorite bloggers. I had the pleasure of meeting her at She Speaks. We’ve become Twitter buddies, too, and email back and forth about things like blog design and Photoshop.
Last Tuesday in the middle of my Photoshop World sponsorship drive furor, Tina emailed me and said, “What the heck is this Photoshop World thing you keep harping about?”
Okay, so maybe those weren’t her exact words, but I caught the tone that she was interested.
I explained the whole deal, and then said, “The problem now is that I need airfare and hotel. A nice roommate would help. Want to go to Vegas next month?”
Those actually were my exact words.
We worked out the details, like the fact that I was DEAD SERIOUS when I asked if she wanted to go to Vegas. Of invaluable assistance on the inside has been Nancy Masse, who works with Kelby Media Group. I’m not sure of the extent of her duties, but she is the creative voice behind NAPP‘s Twitter account and I think she writes their email newsletter. Although she may not be aware of it, we’re BFF. Totally. I’m going to track her down through Twitter at the conference.
How is my sponsorship drive going? So good of you to ask. Here’s the updated sponsors list:
SoBeBabies
I’m still very much in need of additional sponsorship. Please spread the word to any companies who might be interested in helping me and receiving some publicity in the process. My Sponsors’ Page is ready for additions!
I originally indicated last Friday as the deadline I needed for sponsors, but that was the deadline for reserving a room (which I did). My goal is now less, too, since I was able to purchase a plane voucher for a discounted rate and GOT A ROOMMATE! (Tina is my BFF now, too.)
Now the big question is: Can you get decent sweet tea in Vegas?
What could I do? A sister was in need so I am making a sacrifice and going to Las Vegas for the weekend. I know. I’m all saintly like that. ;l

I really really don’t think you’ll miss your sweet tea in VEGAS, WITH TINA! (I can still squeal like a teenager.)
That is AWESOME! Tina rocks, by the way. : )

LOL! OMG! We are like, totally BFF now! ;D
Thanks for the kind shout out. I’m just glad I could help.
BTW – I just got my work schedule for Photoshop World. Wow! Yes. I will be crazy-busy! Good thing I can Tweet from my cell phone b/c that’s the only way you’ll be able to find me. =)
Yay! Can’t wait to see you there!
How uber-cool is that? I’m sure you and Tina will have an awesome time! 😀
Praying for the details to keep on coming together. I’d send money, too, if I weren’t so gosh darned broke. But that’s okay, I pray to a very big God.

Gee, I hope this works out and you get to go. I’ve never heard of it either and wow it sounds like an awesome thing to go to. Besides going to Vegas of course. 😉
