The glass that is in the BOC stash is 104, but feel free to bring whatever glass you want to work with. Just keep your hard gl(ass) away from my soft gl(ass)!

Karen,
We want to welcome boro people too. You know the torch set up at PAG so if that works for you guys, I have some funds and can purchase some boro. It is you and your giving to BOC's kids that is important. It is a really nice way to spend a few hours and we need help reaching our goal number of beads.

Karen, If you'll commit to go, I'll bring a bunch of boro color (shorts) and some clear. I'm thinking about going and that would force me to go

But I will go in to the shop and make some beads for a couple of hours and dedicate the time and donate the beads in honor of this challenge.

I'm glad this will go 'til 1 this time round...last time I was so late, and got caught up in chit-chat and murrini play I didn't get to hit the fire! This time, I'm gonna do my best to make it by 11:00, and I might leave the murrini at home to not be a distraction!

I decided that what I had to share (the flu) was something everyone could do without. Hope you all had a wonderful time.

Wish I had been there earlier, but was glad for the time I had and the chance to show those who were interested my murrini application technique first-hand and to show my encasing method while making special beadies for the kids!

I had good intentions, took the camera, made sure the batteries were fresh, checked the memory card. But when I got there I only took a couple of pictures. But at least there are these two to prove that we really did make beads, didn't just eat and visit!
