September 13, 2005 Good Morning Friends! Its been several weeks since I last wrote and thought I had better say hello!! August was a "slow down" month for me after a VERY busy July. Some may say it was the calm before the storm. The fun begins THIS weekend! We will be in Wisconsin this weekend for a bracelet party. I haven't done a party in a few months and am so looking forward to meeting some new ladies! Here is a brief outline of our schedule: Sept 17- Party in Waunakee, WI Sept 24- Applefest in Gays Mills, WI Sept 28- program for Salvation Army, Marion, IN Oct 1- Party in La Crescent, MN Oct 13- Party in Coldwater,Ohio Oct 27-31- Eden Prairie, MN Nov 3- Program for Chapter AG,PEO- Marion, IN Nov 5- Art Fair in Center Grove, IN Nov 12-19 Trip to Honduras (!) After all this, I am trying to plan a Holiday Open House. I'm not sure where or when!! As you can see, our schedule has filled up quickly already. I have received some great wooden beads from Thailand from a friend who spent the summer there! What a treat to get these. Thanks, Rachel! I also have been finding some great old pieces of jewelry in antique stores that I have been taking apart and using to make unusual pendants for some of my necklaces. I am broadening my styles and it is GREAT fun! Please don't hesitate to write to me or call if you want to schedule a party or program. I will do my best to fit it into our schedule! As always, I would love to hear from you! Have a great day! Fondly, Julie
