Passion '08 - Encounter with the King (conference)

Last week I went to Melbourne twice, once as a 'getaway' with my husband doing touristy things (including seeing Michael Buble in concert) - there will be a separate video about that trip. Then I came home and the next day left to attend an annual women's conference ("Passion" in Melbourne) with some church family. I didn't video most of the speakers as I was careful not to spend most of my time being a videographer. This video is for my personal record and was made with the other ladies in mind too as I figured they might want to view a brief momento of our weekend together.

that sounds lovely. i'm sure your girl will enjoy the conference too (not just all the freebies) ;)

love how you did the title with the candles! very pretty!!!! baked potato with toppings.. yum. funny thats what we are having tonight! (no kidding) isn't unfair how crap the singing/music comes out on a camera! ah well!! :)

That candles were near the entrance of the building & the soft glow of the candles around the place created a lovely atmosphere. We all received a little 'gift bag' too.. which had a zip (wasn't paper or anything). It had a tiny lip gloss, a chockie bar, a sachet of milo.. and a few other things. Funny you should comment on this in 2009 because I now have the invitation for Passion 2009. Except it's a 1night hotel stay this time, not 2. Thiking of taking my girl as they have....

2/ ..a couple of special 'sessions' called "Girlfriends" there. Didn't know they catered for the younger girls until I attended last year. We will have the same amount of conference time this year, but coming home Sat night instead of Sunday lunch time. Means we miss out on our own private 'debriefing' girls session Sunday morning (which I found so valuable) - but I guess it's not costing as much. I think I'll enjoy my girl being there. A friend has expressed coming in our car with her girl2!

You didn't seem sarcastic! It's just always about the food with me! LOL :)

[kissnyuszi]

My first reply sounded sarcastic when I read it.. but it wasn't, sorry Maryann! It was probably a silly question anyway, re: baked potatoes and toppings! I enjoyed the afternoon tea spread on the final day the most. More choices.. but I wasn't quick enough to get any 'sausage rolls'. They're an Australian snack food! Probably better for me that I missed out ;) Supper on the first night was Original Glazed Krispy Kreme doughnuts (oh my...!)
