My bags are packed, I’m ready to go…

It’s still a week away, but never one to procrastinate, I’ve already packed all the tools, materials, and various doo-dads that I’ll need for my Bead and Button classes.  Hammer, saw, files, and a lot of other tools are neatly arranged and ready to go. It’s much easier to pack for beading classes, which usually require only needles, thread, and task lamp.  Tools are rather heavy and take up a lot of space so I have a collection of “travel size” tools which are great for workshops.  Of course, every year I see a new “must have” jewelry making tool at the show – another to add to my growing collection.  I always look forward to these acquisitions – it’s part of the excitement of going to the show!  Just a note:  while I’m at the show my Etsy shop will be in vacation mode, so you won’t be able to order anything until I return.
