Excellent. Please keep me posted, since this seems like an opportunity
made in heaven for several of us to get together to gab and drool.

was fun! It's weird being asked for your

Sooz, it is weird, but I have to confess that I loved it!

Hi, all. I'm back from the ISGB Gathering. What a great time! I also bought
a
bead by Nancy Tobey - my first boro bead. It has purple, magenta and blue
tones. Did ok at the Bead Bazaar, more sales than last year, but next year
if
I got to Portland, I don't think I'll do the BB, you miss out on seeing
everyone's beads. Just a few trips around the room.
Felt quite the celebrity - I had a bead in the All Members show and they
made
a poster out of pictures of all the beads. People kept coming up to me for
my
autograph - what fun!

Glad to see you back... I'm sooo envious! It sounds like it was AWESOME,
by all accounts! I get to go next year 'cause it's coming to me, *yay*.
I hope to take some classes.

We should have an RCB get-together if a bunch of people here go to the
Gathering next year!

I'm sensing a pizza 'n' beads dinner...

Speaking of beads, I have been avoiding actually making anything out of
my beads for years... short of hanging them on a cord, I just leave them
alone. Well, I have a friend who really wanted a gift for his mom, and
he really liked one of my sets, and she really likes bracelets, and I
really love this friend, so... before long I somehow found myself
promising to make a bracelet. $60 in Swarovski, Bali, and assorted
supplies later, I have a bracelet and a matching pair of earrings, and
guess what? I LOVE it! I didn't make a penny (lost some money, in fact)
but my friend gets a killer gift for his mom, and I have a NEW HOBBY.
Yippee!

Thanks to reading this group, getting started was really easy... I
thought I wasn't paying attention to the posts about stringing beads,
but it was soaking in after all. Thanks guys!

It's amazing how many people who turn up here saying "I do A, B and C
-- but I don't do X" eventually wind up trying X and liking it a lot,
and being thrilled with the results.

Take Tink's award-winning necklace, for example. Not bad for someone
who 'doesn't do stringing'...

Wow -- how KEWL. I love it. Wish we could see the piece you made. :-(

Yeah -- and it's a bigger show than ever this year. 150 vendors, approx., and
2 days. (3 if you count classes.)
