West Springfield, MA - June 6 & 7, 2009

We traveled to West Springfield, MA for the fourth year. We always enjoy visiting this area of the country.

Suzie helped us in our booth again this year.
It's great having her at our make and take table.

The drive home was uneventful until we got to this section of I-80 in PA where they had removed the top surface of the road. We were only on it for a couple of miles when we lost the tread from one of our rear tires.

It's very loud and scary when a tire comes apart on the freeway! This one was no exception and it dented the van and bent the exhaust system.

We had an interesting experience with the repairman our roadside service sent to change the tire...and it was NOT a good one! After about a three hour delay, we were back on the road and made it home safely.

This tire still had almost 20,000 miles under warranty! It sure doesn't look like it here! We were very thankful that we were safe throughout the ordeal. We have four new tires now and we'll be ready to hit the road for Pittsburgh, PA right after the 4th of July.

Southfield, MI - May 30 & 31, 2009

It was fun to return to Michigan for the show in Southfield this year.

Awna traveled to do our make and take project and play in the glitter.
She did it all this weekend and we really appreciated having her help.

Akron, OH - April 25 & 26, 2009

The Akron show was double our usual fun, because we had two of our friends helping us with the make and take projects and the glitter demo on Saturday.

Donna and Awna helping and explaining it all.

Donna was helping customers with their make and take project
using the Sugar Dust or Sugar Beads and the Beadable Tape.

Awna was sparkling by the end of the day filled with glitter projects.
