I met Valerie & Linda2!!

I was down in South Florida for the Thanksgiving holiday and contacted
Valerie & Linda in the hopes that we could meet up for a little while. Well,
after a few days of e-mailing and leaving messages, we finally got our act
together (LOL) and met on Saturday morning. Linda recommended a great diner
near her and after going all the way up to Palm Beach County to get Valerie,
met me (Jon & Avner, too) for breakfast. We scarfed down lox & onion
omelettes with real home fries (Valerie had scrumptious looking french
toast) and then we went to, where else, a bead store! I did a little damage
at the bead store, Valerie sold some of her polymer clay beads tot he store
owner (yippee!) and Linda window-shopped.

It was so much fun! Valerie and Linda were even nicer in person (is that
possible?) and Valerie BFNRed me with a velvet pouch of goodies - polymer
beads of all sorts - rounds, a donut, a pendant and tabs plus some yummy
white ab crytals! Both were decked out in fantastic jewelry too - Linda had
this great necklace of polymer and beaded beads plus a bracelet that I was
drooling over (a flat strip of peyote embellished with a hibiscus flower
button and fringe). Valerie had on a lovely beaded necklace and 2
bracelets - one of her beads with crystals and another from Nicole.

We commemorated the occasion with a pictu
http://www.penguintrax.com/Images/rcbmeet.jpg and I'm looking forward to the
next time we can all get together!

Thanks again for a great morning, you two!

Yeah - speaking of...what's up with the January meeting. I'll be honest and
say that I haven't made any reservations or anything, but I've been waiting
to hear who all is going, etc.

We're still on! Struggling to gather the funds for my plane tickets (see
travel agent posts). I need to do a mailing to the group of folks who
indicated that they'd be coming. I'll do that after I finish torching today.

I'm so sad that Kathy-NV won't be joining us, but maybe we should do what
WetCanvas members do when some can't attend: Put a pic of the person's head
on a stick and include it in group pictures and stuff. LOL! Pics on the
beach... At the jacuzzi... Stuff like that. :-)

I think I'm missing posts...grrrr. I never saw the one from Barbara, just
replies.

Anyways, it was an absolutely lovely time! Avner is just TOO CUTE for words!!!
And I do hope we can do that again. :-)
I wish Barbara could have stayed longer and hit all the bead shops with Linda
and I (we did some DAMAGE!), we all would have had a blast! But even though we
didn't, we still had fun! I'm glad I finally got a chance to meet another FL
beader. :-)
