I know what you're wondering....April 17th? and I'm
just NOW getting my newsletter??
Well... I have plenty of excuses! Some I'm sure you
can relate to!
 The
beginning of this month had me in Las Vegas for the
7th annual GlassCraft Expo. I saw quite a few of you
there...hope you got your hands on some fun glass goodies!
After returning home, it was all about taxes for several
days. Every year I say the same thing....why wait until
the last minute, but it just seems to happen that way...no
matter how hard I try! After that, back on the torch
and then I taught all last weekend.
So with all that finally behind me, I have a "minute"
to put this together. And it's a special newsletter
too...this is the April AND May edition of the SCFS
newsletter. I will be out of town for the first few
weeks of May and I will not have email while I am away.
That's right, no internet, no phones and no TV....I
can't wait!
 Thank
you for the great turnout for the March meeting. Thank
you to Alethia for informing the group about the Gathering
in August and demoing her floral pendant. I hope many
of you will take advantage of the Gathering being so
close to home. It will be years before it's this close
again! There are so many activities, bead swaps, wine
stopper contest, classes, bead bazaars, tons of demos!
This will be my first Gathering and I am really looking
forward to it! For more info, visit the ISGB website
