mis-placed, not lost :)

At work early last week

I had used my camera &

I thought I had put it into my project bag

that was in the

big blue & white duffel bag.

Later when I looked for it, 
my camera wasn't there in my project bag.
And I was bummed...
I looked and looked for it. 
To no avail. 
(I even looked around work/parking lot a few days later when I worked again.)

So I packed for the retreat,
sad that I wouldn't have a camera.
I packed some of my many UFOs
and the above mentioned hand-stitching project bag.
I gathered all this STUFF and put it into my
big blue and white duffel bag, and
shoved it into the car
along with the sewing machine and clothing suitcase. 

Then a few days into the retreat last week,

I was digging around in my

big blue and white duffel bag

and guess what I found at the bottom???!!!

My CAMERA!!

I'm no longer bummed!  :)

I didn't have it early in the retreat to take pics around town, but

I was able to have it for show and tell! YAY.

Here's a pic of some of the 100 gals "retreating":

Anyway, Luann (who has a blog) was there (with her camera:)
and she has early-in-the-week Shipshewana pics.
Jump over there and check out her pics...
And tell her I said HI!
Luann @ loose threads

Thank you,

big blue duffel bag

for holding my camera for me!
