Bead Shows
Unfortunately, all my beady friends are spread across this country and a few
others. I have assimilated one of my neighbors and a gal I met through work into the wonderful world of beading. But both of them shy away from the bead shows because they know they would spend too much money they don't have. Oh, and I am also a grandmother twice over! "Cheryl Isaak" wrote in message ...

Bead Shows
The nearest bead show to me is in Anchorage, 350 miles from here.
That's a drive of at least 7 hours each way. I've been to the BABE bead show in Oakland when I visiting family, but usually I'm in the area either for the holidays or some other function. Linda, Amy's "bead night" sounds like a great thing. There was a group doing something like that a while back. I should see if they're still doing that. People in Fairbanks tend to do a lot of things for themselves -- arts, food preservation, cultural dances, powwows, etc. Another monthly thing a friend of mine does relates to Sarajane's post about Sally Burger. My martial arts buddy teaches yoga, and once a month does "yoga church". Everyone gets together to do yoga and brings the name of a cause they support; and all money collected goes to the cause that is picked at random.

Bead Shows
I've just met the mom of my daughter's friends who is crafty and she
LOVES to shop !!!. And "shiny things" - I plan to get her addicted to beads by asking if she minds dropping in a bead shop while we're out looking at garden centers.
