If anyone ends up having a problem finding a place to stay at the last minute, they are welcome to stay at my house, which is about 45 minutes away in Tryon, NC. I will be driving up and back and am willing to share the ride... it is easier to stay awake when chatting with others in the car. It looks like Beth Walter is staying with me Friday and Saturday night, and I have room for one more. I am getting very excited. Terry, I love your animated icon... that seems to be something dogs and cats like to do with TP. Julie Mc

That's so kind of you, Julie! You'll love Beth...she's a sweetie!
I used to have a cat that thought the TP roll was the "bestest" toy around. The cats I have now don't bother it but they don't know that they are cats.

Fire on the Mountain is getting closer, but all the posts have stopped. I guess everyone is getting ready. I have a question, would anyone prefer some of my etched bead caps for trade instead of beads? I have some custom designs I am going to etch this week, I will be doing them in brass and copper in two different finished diameters (so they can be stacked up) . I will patina the recessed design, then dome and polish them in a tumbler. I will make these for the 3/16" mandrel beads that we will be making in the workshop. I can also make some aluminum caps from a sheet I rolled a pattern into, but the aluminum doesn't take a liver of sulfur patina, and remains bright. If you have any ways to color aluminum, I would love to learn the method.
See all of you soon.
Julie

Julie, I'd say that you'd likely have lots of people interested! Your work sounds very interesting. Nothing says it has to be beads...we have people who bring other kinds of jewelry-related work, tools, supplies, etc. and it's always a happening place for selling/trading.
I can't believe it's almost time for FotM! See you all there!

Hey Julie - as usual, I will probably not have trade beads, but I'm thinking I might like to buy some of those caps!

We're gonna miss you, Yee! 
I can't believe its only eight more days! I've gotta chain myself to the torch this weekend and finish filling up my trade box!
Considering all the stuff I need to pack, I'd better get started on that pretty soon, too. I had a nightmare last week that I got to Asheville and realized I'd packed everything, then drove off without loading it in the car!

Just checked the 10 day weather forecast for Asheville. As of next Thursday - goodbye nice warm weather. Forecast is for highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s. It is supposed to be sunny most of the time so we'll be just fine but some layers might be a good idea!

Yep. Sure beats the sweat box we had in the fall! LOL! Body heat, torch heat, and burning excitement should make those temps just about perfect.

I've started packing some metal stuff, but still have all my glass demos and personal stuff to tackle. Maybe I'll start a list at lunchtime today!
Woohoo....three more days, just three more days!!

Hey Angie - I have lists but attending Michael Barley's class in Atlanta over the weekend was a LOT more appealing than packing the truck. Tonight's the night - it must be done.

I have made bead caps for the 3/16" mandrel beads in copper and brass. Does anyone want some other sizes? I can also make standard small ones for wire wrapped or strung beads, or larger holes for 1/14" tubing. Tell me what you need asap. Wednesday night is the last night I can work on them. Julie

Julie, it sounds like part of our metals class is gonna be a snooze for you! LOL! You're obviously already way ahead of the curve.
Marjorie, I'm soooooo jealous!! I would have loved to have taken Michael's class.

I'm doing last minute errands before my drive to Chattanooga this afternoon then we'll be heading to Asheville early in the morning to get everything ready for you guys! 
I just can't figure out why my "to do" list keeps growing longer instead of getting shorter.

We miss you,
