[Nfb-krafters-korner] a note from Linda

[River Woman]

Thanks. I have looked over the forms for the Fire Mountain requirements 
several times. The problem is, you have to list every single bead in your 
piece...and I would not be able to do that without a ton of work. The woman 
I took the workshop with, Sherry Serafini, has her work in this catalogue 
all the time. I buy most of my gemstones at the Rings and Things show that 
comes to Pittsburgh every fall. And, the seed beads, well, I hav them from 
most everywhere, but most from Janes Beads, which I get at another Gem Show. 
I have printed out the fourms a couple of times, but then just did not put 
the effort into doing them. Maybe I will some time in the future...I guess I 
would have to limit myself to working mostly with FM stuff, which I could 
easily do. Have you entered anything there? Anyone else on the list?
