[Nfb-krafters-korner] Free birthday stuff

[River Woman]

Hey, GIRLS, we have to make a plan for a get -together one of these days.
On October 3rd. I will be going with my daughter Heidi and a friend, Lois 
and we'll be doing our 2nd year of Girlz Art Camp together. We rented a 
cabin last year in southern Ohio and we went there for a week of making 
stuff all day and all night and what fun we had together.   This year we are 
doing it at Raccoon State Park in Pennsylvania, near the WV border.  I will 
be working on new amulets for display at my upcoming exhibition next Marck - 
or anything else that I decide to work on while there. It is so nice to just 
get away and make stuff with two other people who love to make stuff.

You are right Paulette, I am hoping that some day I can meet Lida. She 
sounds amazing.
