And for those who don’t know…Hootchie is a term of endearment for the girls in the IESG!  I can’t remember who exactly started it…if it was Jenny or Wendy.  But anyhoo, Wendy is leaving us and moving to Oregon and probably on her way there right now.  But the fact is, she won’t be at any of our monthly crops anymore unless we can hook up a webcam, which might actually become necessary.  We will miss her dearly and just last weekend had a crop at my house which was her last with the IESG…for a while anyway.  We wanted her last crop to be special so Jenny made her a "Drama Queen" crown, that was quite spectacular I must say…

and we all chipped in and got her some going away scrap supplies and a cake, we all had a great time of course, we always do when the hootchies get together! 

There were some tears shed when it was time to say goodbye but there were also laughs when we decided to take a group picture.  But there wasn’t anyone else home to take it.  So I decided to set the camera on the TV with everyone sitting on and in front of the couch.  Trouble was, Carey had set the auto timer on the camera to only 3 seconds and I didn’t know how to change it.  It was pretty hilarious trying to press the button and then litterally FALL into the picture.  Some of the expressions on my face and others are hysterical! 

Sorry Jenny, I cut off half of your face in this one!

Needless to say I think we captured a moment that we will all remember!
