WaHoo! All the stakes are ready for mailing
I am happy to say that if you purchased a Garden Stake, it is packaged, posted and ready to be dropped off at the Post Office tomorrow...I ended up going to 2 different Office Depot/Max stores to get 12 tubes, and I was almost hit about a dozen times getting to both stores which are only about a mile from my house...what is going on with driving? Good grief...But I made it home safe, organized all the stakes by name and number (printed out the pics so I could match them up) and spent the day watching Jewelry and Knitting while getting them packaged...whew...
I bought this cool new toy at Target - a Bug Vacuum...like a mini dust buster, you can target a bug and suck him up so you can view him, or in my case, just get him out of the way...I get bugs in the studio from the doors/windows being open, cats coming and going, etc...I don't like the jumping spiders, do they bite? I always heard they did...I'd rather vacuum them and relocate them..I don't like squishing bugs, I'm a 'relocater' - take them outside and let nature handle them...(food for birds perhaps?)...So I'll have to show you some of the groovy creatures I vacuum in the coming weeks...
The next 3 days I'm teaching my final class (final scheduled class - i'm taking a teaching hiatus for a few months while the weather is just so dang hot)so I'll be here and there, but not on the torch or the computer much...send me emails, leave me comments, you know what to do...THEN, I leave for B&B on the 14th and its gonna be a rockin' time..I'll prob take my camera and computer...I hope to see ya'll there if you're going...This is my first, but I doubt it'll be my last...the bead world is really going bonkers now a days, isn't it? kinda scary, actually...

Boy, what will they think of next? That bug vacuum is pretty cool! Like you, I would also rather put the critters outside. Where was this gizmo when I was a kid out collecting bugs during the summer?? Have a great time at B&B!! You will not want to come back - they are too much fun! I went to one about four years ago in Portland - had a wonderful time! Buy lots of beads and show us what made in class!

Hmmmm. I'm more of a stomp-the-living-heck-out-of-it-and-inspect-the-lifeless-remnants kinda girl. Eh, to each his own, I say.
Have a FANTASTIC time at B&B!!!! I wish I was going!!!! Desiree graduates on the 16th and Mark goes back to work on the 22nd and after that I am free as a bird all summer!!!! YAY!!!
