What a fabulous workshop!
This surpassed our previous DIY workshop by leaps and bounds — which we thought was pretty spiffy in its own right!
The presenters were knowledgeable and topics flowed well with one another. Those attending were eager and attentive. At a couple of points we counted a dozen folks around the tables! The format of back to back workshops worked well in allowing folks to come and go with each segment as their schedule allowed without disrupting the flow. Not only was the attendance good, the presenters covered some really awesome stuff! For those of you that missed it, you missed out, for sure. We are already planning our next one! Sorry for all the exclamation points – we are just so excited! Overall, VERY pleased!
Thanks to everyone for coming out. And, a special thanks to Joetta, Chrystal, Rebecca and Kat for doing the presentations. You were very informative!
Hope to see YOU attending our NEXT workshop! Keep an eye on the event calender for upcoming events.
I was doing a Google search for our event and just came across this web page of our article in the September Rogers County Edition of the Value News! http://www.valuenews.com/issues/story.php?view=2522
“Whale of a Tale” Arts and Crafts Sale – Call to Artists!:
Have you visited our Facebook Page yet? We are waiting to hear from you!
Man oh man, what fun was had! Our first jewelry making class and we had such a great turn-out that we had to add another table!
Quite an exciting group of ladies who were eager to learn! Some even brought notepads and pencils for taking notes — they showed their student side for sure!
I’m sure everyone was anxious to get right to putting tools to wire, but there are SO many things to cover before we get to that point.
I hope I didn’t bore them too much. Education up front saves a world of headaches and frustrations down the line.

| Toni and Carol adding a bead for their wire-wrapped link |
A few times going over the steps of making a wire-wrapped loop and we were ready to move on to adding a bead!
We added a bit of cord and fashioned a hand made clasp and were ready to hit the town with our new bracelets!

I wish I had gotten pictures of all the ladies together with their bracelets and bright smiling faces. We will have to work on that for NEXT class! 🙂
