Becki
You looking for something easy for mom day??
A few things came to mind….
~ beaded votives ~ (I can make kits)
buy cheap clear glass votive cups,
the kids can then either glue beads on where they want OR
use beads to thread a string long enough to wrap all the way up the glue
covered votive.
you can also use a thin gauge wire for this and no glue.
~ beaded pony wraps~ (I have kits)
using a thin elastic thread and a few beads
you can make a very attractive ponytail wrap.
~ beaded napkin rings ~ (I can make kits)
use a thin gauge wire, and a empty towel tube for shaping.
wrap a few times (like 3 or 4) around the tube. then depending on age level

you can either leave it on the tube (for something bigger to hold) or you
can take it off… either way, its finished off the same, add a bead or two
and wrap add a bead or two and wrap. continue until you have a good size for
a napkin ring. finish by wrapping the end through the center on one side a
few times.
That’s all I can think of right now. I offered to make kits because some
states don’t have bead stores!!! Can you believe that??
So there is an offer for kits if you want it. : )
I have an awful headache today, too much yelling at my own kids maybe.
I have taken 4 Advil, not much effect. I started getting them before the
accident. Interestingly enough, they started about the time I was having the
crisis w. Es’ school.
Chad did get an estimate, but I don’t think he ever told me what it was.
That’s about it… Let me know if those ideas would work or if you’d like a
few more. : )

Babs, Yes we had a great time. I needed to come home and rest from my
vacation. Today at work I will be cooking with the 5 to 8 year
olds…keep me inyour thoughts today. I might need it. The kids here
have a half day so will have time to play with them a while. How is your
beading coming along. I wish that you were closer…I would have youcome
and give the kids a demonstration on making different things. maybe
something easy for their mom’s for mother’s day. Oh, well, that is life.
I was wondering how you are feeling now after the accident? Did Chad
get the estimate on the car…that is such a hassle. I remember you
talked about a migraine after you got hit….any more of them. Well, I
just wanted to say hi…Becki

Sounds like you had a great time Becki. Just what you needed laughter and
relaxation. Too bad about the cold, but then you are where it is warmer
anywhere, so this made a difference.
The mining camp sounded great. I may be going th first week of May to see
my brother in Nevada. He works in a gold mine or anyway for the company. He
is a geologist and has been all over the world. He is in Nevada now. Maybe
they will have a mining resturant there (I hope), it made me hungry just
reading the menu.
Gotta go, cleaning lady comes today, so I clear out of her way.
