November 03, 2004 Good morning.........day after the big election! I stayed up too late watching returns. We have just returned from 9 days in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Visiting family is always fun and meeting new women at bracelet parties is just the best part of my job!! My sister hosted 2 parties in Minneapolis and they were big hits with her friends. Christmas shopping couldn't be easier and many ladies did just that! My schedule this month is very hectic....2 art fairs back to back and a few parties......and 2 holiday open houses back to back, one in Indiana and one in Wisconsin. Be sure to call or write to me if you have questions about holiday gifts. Thanks for visiting my site and checking for NEWS updates.  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, we will be in Wisconsin.... Fondly, Julie
