I had SO many pictures from Baltimore that I decided to make a Whrrl story aka a fancy slideshow so that you can just click through and see them instead of scrolling for years down one post.
I guess that wouldn’t have been that hard to do.
Oh well whatever, it’s a done deal. Enjoy my trip:
Now it’s your turn!

The Prompts:
1.) Write a letter to yourself from someone who has passed on. (ie: parent, grandparent, famous person, friend, pet, etc)
2.) Create and share a Whrrl story.
3.) Write a Haiku that describes what you love about an ordinary day.
4.) What lights your fire? Describe five things you are most passionate about.
5.) Share some photos and stories as well as what you love about spring.

You take a lot more pictures when you travel than I do. {*grin*}
Ha! Only when I know I’m going to blog the trip. :)
Looks like you had a TON of fun! Wish I could have been there! One of these days I’m gonna make it to one of these conferences so I can meet all of you!!!
Why have I never heard of whrrrl? Hmmm….
Looks like it was a wonderful time. Lucky ladies that got to hang with you :)
the conference looks like a blast! will you be presenting at the san francisco one by any chance?? thinking of going….!
No….not sure if I’ll be going to the San Fran one at all yet…I’ll have to do some shmoozing with the husband to make that happen. :)
Good morning all!
I did the haiku today, seen as you picked my suggestion I felt obliged to do that one! I love haiku anyway.
I’m going to give Whrrl a try soon though, thanks for pointing us towards it, it’s so much fun. I’m getting so jealous of everyone going to Baltimore – enough already! Unless you have lots more tips to give out, I’m totally needing some tips and maybe a mentor!
Have a great Thrusday,
Jade
PS you need to present in Scotland – really soon!
Not all of the letters have to be sad! Sometimes they can help us remember the good times. Great prompt :-)
Dude. I love your blog too! And your photo editing skills. You totally can’t see the HUGE zit that was also there to say hello to you:).
That was neat :)
My goodness, Mama Kat – you were almost in my neck of the woods. I love Baltimore – I have a friend who lives down there. The Harbor is great, Fells Point is great … so many cool places.
Awww! Dang! I totally would have grabbed a drink with you and your wife!! Maybe I’ll go to the Philly one next year!
I’ve only been to Baltimore a few time, staying near the harbor and only doing “kid stuff” like the aquarium. Looks like you had a great “big girl” time! Oh, and I love that apron! :-)
rattin smattin frattin that’s it tease me with the fact that I couldn’t go… stomps foot…
Ooh, great pics! I love that you wore your apron to the conference! Heeheeheeeeeeeeeeeee
Still haven’t heard back from Ellen, eh?
Justine :o )
OK so I was totally distracted this morning and made a Whrrl one too as well as the haiku, not I have two posts. Whrrl is great, so much fun.

I had so much fun with the Spring prompt…and playing around with Whrrl that I almost combined the two into a Springy Slideshow!
Great post and recap of the Baltimore trip…looks like a great time!
Looks like fun! And Baltimore looks so cool!
Thanks for the prompt and for doing this workshop. I am off to see you Whrrl.
Looks like y’all had a ton of fun!
Covered at least two of the prompts, which is rare for me. Liked the slide show and hoping you had a great time. Never been to Baltimore or anywhere ot east really. Would love to do some travelling out there. Cheers Mama Kat and thanks for hosting Writers Workshop!
Whrrl is new to me, so I need to go check it out…
Glad you enjoyed yourself in Baltimore. Come to Alabama!! :)
Having visited several of the contributors today and having read all the letters from someone gone from each of their lives, I gotta say that these was very hard even for me to read. This is a good thing. We need to be able to embrace our sorrow and painful moments of our lives, it makes us stronger. Thanks Mama Kat!
I wanna go!
Dang! People put stuff up FAST!!
Good morning! I’m in Haiku Heaven today…
Looks like an awesome trip! I’ll have to try whrrl sometime. It always takes me awhile to decide that I am indeed smart enough to figure such things out.
I’ve been to Baltimore a number of times, because I have family there. I love it! Loved seeing the pictures :)
First time doing the Prompts. Thanks for giving this each week. :)
looks like it was a great trip. so many of my bloggy “friends” went and makes me a little jealous you guys all got to hang out together and have a fun time without kiddos:)
I am a huge picture lover, and I never knew about this site! How fun! It looks like you girls had an awesome time.
I have never been but it looks like you had fun!
How have I never heard of Whrrl before this?
Oh, awesome! I didn’t know what you were talking about with that whole whrrl thing, but I get it now and it looks great!
I love you. That is all.
(When, oh when, will we see each other again, my dear?! Cuz no one sings I Gotta Feeling better than you.)
I am a talented singer, that’s for sure. It’s hard to hit all of those Fergilicious notes, but I manage.
You’re wonderful.
I’ve never heard of whrrrl? but it’s pretty cool, and it seems like you had a great trip!
I’m gonna go the haiku route and give it a shot! :)
Ok, I’m so late to the party, but my link is up there! Going to check out your Whrrl!
You took awesome photos!
Yeah, kinda jealous of all the blog conference peeps meetin’ up.
Looks like a fun time was had by all…I so wanted to go. Maybe Philadelphia…By the way, I’m sorry for the double link up. Something went wrong with the first one, and I couldn’t figure out how to delete it.
Thanks for the prompts! I know that this sounds odd, but I chose 1, and 3, and it was fun to channel someone else, think about their voice- and write haikus.
I’m a day late and a dollar short (what’s new? lol) but I followed the first prompt. I hope I was as authentic as possible. >..< Thanks for the great prompts!
I didn’t know what a whrrl was. Now I do. Looks like you had lots of fun. Can I just say, I am very jealous. I would love to sneak away! haha.
Okay, this is all my fault I admit it. But people are thinking I am no longer reading them and so I don’t want them to read ME and COMMENT, and I DO! I AM still reading you and I will start commenting again I promise!
I got into a bad rhythm when I started having so much computer problems, I started not commenting thinking most my comments were probably lame and not wanted, but i see that was a mistake and want to rectify that NOW. I am going to get back to my Comment-Whoring ways…that is Kristina’s phrase remember that, LOL, and so come back to me my friends, I NEVER left you, I just got way too comfy with Google Reader and read you there!! I LOVE my bloggy friends!!
Love the Whrrl slideshow. Looks like you had a great time.
I’m a bit late this week, haven’t been well. But I dragged my germy butt outta bed just for you!
I couldn’t figure out the whrrl thing, so I made a picasa slide show about a camping trip I took last spring. Thank you for inspiring me to look back on old memories. I can’t wait to make some new ones!
Oh my goodness! I did my whrrl post for Writer’s Workshop and then completely forgot to link up. How lame am I?!
I’ve always been interested in whrrl but never checked it out for myself. Thanks for making me go take a look. Love it! I think I’m going to need make my own whrrl story now!!
Jealous! Love the Whrrl thing, turned out pretty cool!
I am so behind the times…. I don’t even know what a WHRRL is much less how to do one! I think I’m in?
I’m confused about the time line now so I think I did it in time?

Hi MamaKat!
My dear funny friend Dusty Earth Mother writes from your prompts so I thought I would too. You seem like a lot of fun.
There are lots of fragmented sentences for you to go gaga over. (grin)
