I haven't been here in awhile either!
For our hat decorating each lady brought their own hat & whatever embellishments they had. We pooled the stuff together and each created a fun decoration on our hats. Some ladies were fine on their own, some needed help, and one was clueless (we ended up doing hers for her!). All in all it was a great afternoon!

Hi LouAnn!
Thanks so much for commenting on my photos! I don't get here too often, but I just put more photos on so I'm up-to-date again.
You must have been referring to our 'hat decorating' event. We've had 2 now, and although few come, those of us who attend have a great time! Each person brings the hat(s) they want to decorate, and any embellishments they may have. We each put the items we brought and are not planning to use in the middle of the table, and they're free for anyone to use. We end up with assorted flowers, ribbons, trims, feathers, tulle, etc. One of my girls has a huge table, so we've done it at her house each time. Some ladies who come have no clue what to do, and others are very crafty & willing to help. We all ask each other what they think of our ideas, not being obligated to follow anyone's advice. The main idea is that you decorate your hat the way you like it. One of our older ladies came once who had zero ideas & embellishments. If someone comes who wants to 'sit in the corner' and do her own thing, that's alright, too. She's missing out on the camaraderie, but that's her choice! At the end of the event we model our creations and tell each other how wonderful we look!
I hope this gives you an idea of what we did. Of course depending on who comes, it can be more silly or not, but there's always laughter & that's the best part!
Happy Hatting!

Hi LouAnn, nice to heard from you. Merry Christmas to you and your family, wishing love, peace and happiness.



No I am not going to Texas, I will do locally conventions only. I am going in April to Northern Lights in Toronto.



Hope all is well with you



Hugs

LouAnn,

I am glad all has gone well with your operation, I pray you heal well, and get your energy back real soon.

In looking at your photos, I must have met you at the 40's thing, as I remember meeting the other gals right, as I went back to danceing. I wish I realized it was you my dear, as I have enjoyed talking via QMB boards the past year. Dog gone it, my memory keeps goofing me up more and more lately.

I am even in the photo at Capone's that you took,I vaugely remember being in the photo. I stood and talked to Ima while we were waiting inside to go outside to go into Capones.

Sheesh, I missed my chance to give you a big Hug.

A Cyber Hug will have to do,

Leah
