What a treat this was today.  Eleven ladies had a lot of fun, lots of imagination and some very presentable necklaces and bracelets produced.  There were so many different types of beads and beautiful colours.  It was difficult to make a choice.   Linda Normand was so helpful and patient.  Thank you Kathy Cameron for suggesting her and thanks to Linda for a super morning.
