9 Marvelous Monday

Today is a day that can only be called MARVELOUS!!  As you know I have been gone for about a week.  Well, I am back!  I actually didn't spend my time at home, I went with my daughter on her Patrol Trip to Washington DC!  Neither one of us had ever been there before!!  What an amazing time we had!  Over the next week or so I'll be showing off photos and talking about where we went.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today though, I have to catch up on some things that happened during my time away!  Many of you voted and supported me over at the Artfire Beadweavers Guild.  Thank you so very much!  Yes, we won!!!  It was a close race and ALL the beadweavers did beautiful work - here are all the entries - aren't they all just wonderful?
