Disclaimer:

For those of you who are familiar with me, you know I am somewhat "height challenged".  Please forgive me for the "artistic" photo angles . . . they were unintentional.  At times, it was necessary to reach the camera over my head without the advantage of looking through the viewfinder to be able to snap photos while running or walking past, or while others were also admiring these amazing celebs, hold my breath, and just point & shoot, hoping for the best!

And that wraps up our Creativation 2017 (CHA) Adventures.
We hope you enjoyed these small glimpses into all the
fun and excitement we felt and enjoyed.
A new countdown begins . . . and we can't wait!
Only 337 days, 16 hours, and 46 minutes 'til Creativation 2018!
