Regarding your question about “Newsletter Presentations”… it is not too late to “sign on”. An email with the sign up info will be sent out within the next week or so, to everyone on the Guest List. So watch for that.

You may want to read the Oct 3 post for a more info about where things are at with the launch of the members newsletter library. Click the link by my name to go straight there is you like. Make sure to read the comments too, for even more info.

I haven’t really had an opportunity to get on-line, but plan on signing onto your new Newsletter Presentations. Can I still sign on? I’m looking forward to joining, and having an opportunity to experiment. I’ve been so excited, that I ran out to find some of those drill bits, and also a french fry cutter tool. However, it was advertised as being something to cut carrots, cucumbers, and etc. with a fancy edge. It took a little looking, but I scounted them out. You would think that I didn’t have a life! Ha! Ha!

I am not quite sure at this juncture, as to whether or not you had given the website. I get alot of e-mails, and alot of ads/etc., so wasn’t sure when you even sent it out. If so, do you happen to have a date on that? In this way, I don’t have to go back a zillion pages. Ha! Ha! This is no exaggeration!!!

Your letter of “Thanksgiving” was very loving, and so touching. It was nice of you to share your customs with us. We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here (in the states), that is until the latter part of November. To me, it’s always so gracious to be able to pray a prayer of Thanksgiving, for all of our Blessings — my life (after this past September) is what I am Thankful for this year. My summer with my Grandchildren, one of whom is Autistic; the other with Attention Deficit, and my Sweetheart stuck in the middle. She is my budding artist, and we have so much in common (including working in clay). So, I do understand where you are coming from. It sounds like you have a nice life, and I’m very happy for you. I pray that this new year of celebration will grace you with another year of the best. In any event, you are a very nice lady, and kama speaks volumes.

Thank you again for the new things that you placed on hand. I just loved looking at the gold/silver/copper leaf informa- tion, and plan on doing something with it.

Hope that you have enjoyed your holiday, and enjoy many more. There is nothing like a close family. My children are all grown up now, but your sentiment flooded me with so many special memories from the past. It also reminded me of how quickly time passes, which was something my MOM always told us. I always pretended not to listen, but MOM’s have a way of helping you to listen. MINE WAS THE MOST PRECIOUS GEM!! I THINK OF HER ALOT. Enough said, Take Care and God Bless.

Sincerely,

DIANA

P.S. Now all I have to do is conquer the clay, and I’ll be all set! Just finished weaving a gorgeous Lauriat and Earrings. Was thinking to myself, wouldn’t this look great with one (1) of my own created clay beads attached to it (once I learn)! (I’m dreaming, but it will come to fruition!! Actually, the pendant on it can be utilized two-fold — as a brooch as well. I AM SO BLESSED, AND YOU ARE TOO!! There is never a day that I capitalize on that. It is such a wonderful feeling, and a privilege!
