Hey Paula! I remember you – it’s always soooo fun to meet someone on their first IAPS experience!
And yes, an easel always adds bulk and weight and often is a necessity. But then the rest doesn’t need to be much. Glad to hear your supplies are pared down.
Look forward to seeing you on one of my trips. They are soooooo much FUN!

Whoo hoo Lori! Love that you now have some insight into using the viewfinder, clever wee tool that it is!
Look forward to seeing you at the Santa Fe workshop and then ahhhhh let’s do Costa Rica. It’s a magical place where we go! We can do this!!

I have one but didn’t know how to use it. I have emailed Beth at Bluebird about your NM workshop in June. Need to practice traveling away from Washington state before seeing about going abroad. Dreaming of the December Costa Rica workshop! That would be so exciting for me who is a home body, esp. since 2020. Thank you so very much for all your great advice online!
