| First, I got my badge! Complete with my "Published Author" Ribbon. Which then proceeded to try to fall off after a few days. :( |
 |
| Later in the day, I went for dinner with my amazing publisher and some fellow authors! |
 |
| My first event: Scrapbooking! Tuesday was more-so a reader-oriented day. The real workshops began on Wednesday. |
 |
| I wore a different striped dress every day. |
 |
| I got this mask! |
 |
| After dinner with my publisher, I grabbed a snack of Pinkberry frozen yogurt. Yum! |
 |
| After Wednesday's first events, I went out for lunch at the FABULOUS Ruby Slipper Cafe where I met this awesome waitress. She was so excited about the book convention. |
 |
| At night, I got ready for a Pirate Party and Mardis Gras Party at Mardis Gras World. |
 |
| The lines for the shuttle to Mardis Gras World were REALLY LONG. |
 |
| This was inside at Mardis Gras World! It was gorgeous. |
 |
| They even had a marching band for us! |
 |
| Inside were all the real Mardis Gras floats. So cool! |
 |
| Giant flowers! I loved it! |
 |
| And I ended the evening by returning to the hotel with ALL of these beads and a stomach full of Bananas Foster, red beans and rice, and beignets. |
Looks like you had a wonderful time at the RT conference, Heather! You've got some great photos and I'm, sure you made many memories! New Orleans is a different city indeed. Blessings from Texas
