Welcome, Liz. Thanks for being our first friend.

Debbie, Mary, Pat, and I have just returned from this year's retreat in Knsas City. It was soooooo much fun (and too hot, but you all know how much I don't like heat). And we are already busy working on next year's retreat. We hope to have a hotel pinned down in the next few weeks. When we do, we'll announce it so you can all start getting as excited as we always are!!

I'm already choosing my colors. I'll try to get a photo of my canvas and overdyed up soon. It ought to be a shock for everyone since I always choose bright colors. This will be a little bit different for me.
