Oh, it looked like fun!!!
I wish I could have been there! So many great Halloween treats. Thanks for posting these pics. I hope to see you there next year. :) Becca
Lori - I loved meeting you at the show and I love the pin that I bought from you. That definitely was some show and you aren't kidding about there being people three and four deep around everything. All things were a feast for the eyes. And BTW, thanks for letting me take your picture. I hope you don't mind, but I posted them on my blog. Didn't need Photoshop at all - you looked great. And those stockings were a hoot!
I LOVE IN FINDLAY!!!! OMGosh.. I am so excited!! I have to come and see you. I have loved your crafts for years!!
Can you give me the time and date you will be in town? Thank you so much.

Your work is an exquisite example of a dying art, I greatly value the time you spend hand stitching and hooking! And I'm glad we are friends because you are such a sweetheart.

Lori,
Your table of goodies was AWESOME!!! It was hard for me to say what I liked the best because everything was wonderful. I came to chat but got called back to my own table. Please email me so we can "chat" some more. justdare@aol.com
