I added a story about the raspberry festival on my vacation page.

I'm kind of in a bit of a bind, scrapbooking wise. I like to use Close to my Heart products which are only available through individual consultants. I've had the same consultant for 2 years. She happens to be the closest friend of my old friend whom I no longer have as a friend (does that make *any* sense?) I don't feel comfortable going to crops at the consultant's house or doing business with her knowing that she probably doesn't have much of a favorable opinion of me anymore because of what happened with my friend and I. Besides, my old friend would be at all the crops and I just don't think that would be a good situation. I've never before made a conscious effort to stop being friends with someone and I'm unsure how to handle it. I still feel so sad for the loss of the friendship, but I really think it died a long time ago. She obviously had lots of issues with me (as stated in her email) and chose to never say anything. Her issues ran a little deeper than mine though. I was accused of things that I can't forget. I was only concerned that she never seemed to have time for us to get together. But, it's over and done with and you can understand why I don't really want to go to her best friend's house once a month.
So, I need a consultant in Southern California. I found one via the Close to my Heart website that isn't too far from my house, but I'd really like someone closer. I'm putting this out there on the off chance that someone who reads my site or comes here via a search engine might know someone. You never know, right? My other scrapbooking problem is very simple: money. Like everything in my life, I take pictures to excess. It's rather expensive to get them processed. I got my new camera in July 2002. I'm now at 2500 pictures. That's $1225 just for the last year! And I still need to get pics from previous years processed as well. If my kid would just stop being cute then I could stop taking pictures, lol.
