Tucson in Review...

I've finally taken the time to sort through and edit the pictures from Tucson.  It seems like that was a lifetime ago and a million miles away.  When we got back, we hit the road running and there was no real down time to process everything.  Perhaps that's for the best.  I sometimes get lonesome for the friends that I was fortunate enough to see while there.

Without further ado.... here are some more snapshots from Tucson:

Heather, Cathy Collison and Jessica Prill from Glass Garden Beads in Northfield, Minnesota.
 Joan Tucker of Off Center Productions and her daughter, Tonya Davidson of Whole Lotta Whimsy, and Jolene Star of Bazaar Star Beadery.
 Marianne Kasparian of MakuStudio.
 I was a little sad to hear that Candice Wakumoto wasn't going to be exhibiting this year.  But I was so happy to see her and her husband Paul!
 Jodi and Heidi of LillyPilly Designs.
Dana Groves of Interweave Press and the BeadFest shows, Ellie Roy of Argenta Beads, and Brandy Thomason McNair of Bella Vita Jewelry.

I know exactly what you're saying about hitting the road running after an event such as this - fortunately we're in the digital age and can go back in time by looking at our images and sharing them with others.
