Aw, Brenda....be careful..I just may take you up on that next year BIG HUGS
Polly and I have had a blast...taking a nice. slow and methodical pace in spite of the craziness and have managed to get everything almost ready (we made 600 copies yesterday but got to cruise her new car, fun!). Now off to make some fish samples and a special one for Kathy's thank you goody box with some yummy new CIM colors!
It is sunny, studio is warm....kona coffee.......ahhhhhhhh

I'm sooo sad and jealous!!!! LOL
I will miss you all this year!! Take lots of pics.
And to all you GS newbies, don't sweat the demo. Really and truly, it is no big deal and you'll wonder why you ever worried. And you'll have an awesome time!!
Have fun, you all.
Deb, I'm sending a little sumthin' for the auctions with Kris.

Wahhhh Lisa, it will be so weird not to see you there....we will sure miss you!!!
Kip and Melody, Bernie too....they can't make it this year ;(
But we will be sure to "melt some for ya" and you guys will be there in spirit!
I am so excited, the new venue folks are AWESOME and sooo sweet...if this works out as good as I think it will we may leave it there next year, we are already discussing it so we have more room (more notice to the blowers who rent space there) next time. What a GREAT VIBE, this is gonna rock!!!
I wanted to get a hat done this year but not gonna happen....but I did dream up a cool new competition for this year (ok, you don't have to wear jammies for it unless you want to....), be ready, he he he....... We will also have our mystery glass competition with prizes for 1, 2nd and 3rd place! Great prizes too!
One Paragon XL kiln left, the rest have been pre-sold. Great deals on Carlisle torches, Northstar Glass and Cornerstone has some great specials for us too!
And, news flash! I am working with a really nice guy that runs a furnace shop within easy walking distance of the new venue!! He is going to give us a great rate for attendees, more details at the Meet and Greet!
Back to packing....
doin' the yippy skippy!

If you have time to kill during the day, I'd suggest a visit to Imagine, the Mazet brothers' gallery. Tons of cool glass work. Also, go get yourself a Bacon Maple bar at Voo Doo doughnuts. It's with a couple of blocks of the gallery, if I recall correctly. You can also go shopping at Winship if you have time.

Bring your checkbooks! Stacy and I have made the world's coolest (or maybe hottest?) foot pedal and it's going up for auction.

That is awesome everyone! I will make sure when I get there to clarify address if needed...Hugh knows right where it is at
Elizabeth, the Meet and Greet is at 6pm, it is a great welcome party!
Patty I know...craziness...how ya holding up?
That pedal is awesome Felicia...you and Stacy rocked it there...so purty!!! I already have 2 pedals but they are not as purty as that one! You two are gemz!
I am waiting to hear from Doretha...let's send prayers her way, the poor, sweet woman has had enough trauma!
Off to Eugene tomorrow....will keep you updated via staff who can post here (not bringing my lap top...want to melt glass!)
Hugs!

AW, thanks Christina! You are all the BEST friends a girl could have! I agree it was the best year yet....loved seeing all the family and adding some new folks to it!
THANK YOU to everyone who donated to the auction, it really helped a lot with the extra expense of moving the venue. Staying with a friend instead of a hotel was awesome too, more like home for me and the $ saved bought the band and thank you keg for our Cornerstone boyz.
A HUGE thank you to my man rock Hugh and to my darling Deb Philpot ("a double deb'll do ya......" it really works!) who worked their asses off right beside me the whole time, you are both incredible and I look forward to many more years with you two!
Every one of the staff members was incredibly helpful this year...plus Justin, Ashely, Kenneck and all the Cornerstone people were AWESOME and crazy like us...they want us to come back as much as we want to! What a blessing in disguise!
Becky, David, Nita and all the folks I met this year for the first time, you are all just GEMS and I miss you already too! It is what we ALL bring that makes it better every year. Nita, we will have to get together since we are so close!
I will say letting all those fabulously fine boro boys from Cornerstone work around us was definitely a perk, lol! Bring your dollar bills next year ladies...we are setting up a 3 hour boro boy tour next year.....
We had a hard time packing up and took an extra day to get things out of their way...we were pretty whipped and they were super nice about our slower pace.
After 3 weeks of stress losing/finding a building, adapting/moving and all that goes with it I was pretty tired at the start...so I ended up with a nasty cold, chest congestion and pretty high fever that started Tues morning....still at 104.5 this am. But I spent the last 2 feverish days dreaming of all of you and falling asleep with happy smiles and wonderful memories of everyone.
I have some demo draw items here..if you left early and didn't get it (SORRY, things ran late the band was supposed to start an hour later but it still worked out great) please let me know and if you want it we can work out getting it to you. I still have sponsor boxes to sort and mail out but it won't be until next week sometime, taking the week off!
Thank you ALL for the priceless memories, incredibly sharing and sweet people that you all are...I love you all!
More soon when I feel better...xoxoxoxoxoxo debs
