PAINT PARTY FRIDAY 10/20/17

Hi Everyone!

I have to tell you that last Friday the 13th, I had the BEST day. My friend, Deb and I started at 9:30AM and ended the day at 5:00PM. We laughed the whole day and at one place we were cutting up so much we got the cashiers in on it. One of the ladies ask if we were sisters, Deb and I put our heads together and both said, YES. I love sister friends. The rest of my week has been fast, furious and outstanding. I was invited to an art show for next month in Eugene and I can hardly wait. I could only hope that all of this happy goodness continues. Last Saturday was DemArts and our FAB bead group always attends. Another day of just fun. The winner of my Sparkle Cab Contest is Karan Parker be sure to scroll all the way down to see some amazing bead art.  Sooo with that I don't really have any finished art this week. Every piece is a WIP.  A big thanks to Eva and Kristen 
for hosting Paint Party Friday.

You know, after I read the post I thought about the great pieces that were created using your Cabs. I thought how great it was for you to have a group to share your crafty love/skill with. I was joyful for you to have a great sister friend as well. Then I thought about everything you do to further and continue an interest in beading. You are a pretty darned great person Nicole. Thank you for continuing to blog.
xx, Carol
