Catching Up

 

 

Hi Everybody,

Catching up today. We've been traveling the last few weekends. We went to the Tucson Gem & Mineral show. Here's a couple of pictures of Carla and our friend Jessica checking out some beads in one of the hundreds of tents at the show. I was mostly looking for greeting card embellishments so they were scouting out anything that was relatively flat which could be attached to a card. We found lots and lots of beautiful pre-drilled polished stones, silver charms, fused glass charms and beads from every corner of the world. We got them all! If you get the chance to go, bring your best walking shoes because the show is awesome and HUGE!

I want to thank everyone for keeping my brother Gary in their thoughts and prayers these last three weeks since his brain anurysm. I spoke to his wife Janet today and he is doing so much better that he will be moved from the Mayo Clinic to a rehabilitation hospital tomorrow, ahead of schedule. Great news!

We are preparing for our trip to The Netherland on April 1. We will be attending the ArtSpecially rubber stamp convention in Zeist April 4 & 5. You can check out the information about it here: www.artspecially.nl/index.php?contentCode=a62 I've designed some new stamps which will debut at the show. Carla gets to go with me this year, hooray!
