We got a new camera for Christmas (a Bloggie, so I can start vlogging--stay tuned!), and I've finally figured out how to upload the photos to my computer (baby steps). So I thought it fitting that I catch the blogiverse up on the big writerly events I've attended in the past few months, along with some addititional bonus pics (yes, I'm including last Halloween because those pics were just too awesome). Thanks to my writer friends for snapping many of these photos. Just because I bring my camera to events, doesn't mean I always use it!

As soon as you said "vlogging" I kind of freaked out, because that sounds sooo perfect for you. I can't wait to see some Purdie big screen action up here soon. If I were gorgeous like you, I might give it a try too. But alas, I'm afraid my video skills are right up there with my phone-talking skills...virtually non-existent, hehe.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the pics! You are an amazingly supportive friend!! Yes, Ilima, you are hot stuff. All of the ladies are...and men. :D
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures! So adorable! :D
ReplyDeleteMakes me yearn for living in Utah, seeing you at all these incredible events. Your author photo is incredible. I follow Erin's blog-I didn't realize you two were friends. Yay for zombies and book events. Can't wait for Storymakers!
ReplyDeleteToo fun Katie! Aren't pictures fun? I'm bummed I didn't get to see you at LTUE. :( Of course, I only made it for one day of the conference, but still.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics! Keep 'em coming!
LOVE these! Jason makes an awesome zombie, hehehe, and your family is adorable. :)
ReplyDeleteYou support me so much for all my authorly things. Love you for that! *hugs* And thanks for getting a picture with that poster at the library! I didn't even think about getting a pic of it.
Ilima- I'm really excited about the vlogging. Can't wait to give it a try. Maybe I'll interview YOU on my first vlog. Wouldn't you love that? ;-)
ReplyDeleteTammy- Thank you! And thanks for appreciating all the sizzle here. Ha!
Livia- Thanks, darlin'!
Robin- Just wait, we're going to take tons of pics together during our sure-to-be epic fun at Storymakers!
Leigh- I can't believe I missed you at LTUE. *curses the universe* Hopefully I'll see you at Storymakers, instead.
Michelle- You're welcome! And it's my pleasure. You know how much I love you. <3
Love the pictures :) So fun!
ReplyDeleteWho is that gorgeous woman in all the pictures? YOU! :) Looks like lots of writerly fun!
ReplyDeleteWow! You really get around, Kathryn ... you know, in a good way! I'm way bad at picture taking, too. I bring one, but always forget to pull it out. Next time, nudge me. :)
ReplyDeleteAngie- Thanks! :-)
ReplyDeleteEmily- Haha. You're nice. Whenever I look at my author portrait I remember you taking yours with me and trying to keep your eyes open in the blinding light that winter white morning.
David- LOL, I do get around! If you nudge me about my camera, I'll nudge you. ;-)
OH. My Gosh. The best one is where I show up via Popsicle stick. I look amazingly thin in that photo! You have been busy with all your fun Utah author events. *sobs*
ReplyDeleteI hope to meet all your writer friends at storymakers!
Emily- We are going to PARTAY when you come out for Storymakers! Popsicle-stick you is cool, but the real you knocks her out of the water! :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are great pictures! I liked this post very much.

ReplyDeleteOH HEY IT'S ME.

Great pictures! It's always fun to see what bloggy peeps look like in "real life"! :D
