Just some inspiration

Curious what we are doing at our next meeting? Well come on by and find out. We will be doing a Valentine's Day Challenge. We'll be posting pictures of the beads on the blog so everyone will get a chance to drool over them. We'll have a goodie give away for all paid members and a great raffle prize. We look forward to seeing you guys there.

Just thought I would share some old pictures for inspiration. These were for Beads of Courage from Feburary 2008 Happy torching!

Some Great Raffle Prizes

Beadroller Wall Mount

 The Houston Hotties held their first meeting of the new year on January 8, 2012. We discussed what we had planned for the upcoming year. Thirteen people attending including a guest. Our meeting was held at Sharyln's home. Thank you so much Sharlyn, you have a beautiful home and we all loved seeing your studio.
Our Raffle prizes for this meeting were from CG Beads.Check out her site at http://www.cgbeads.com

How our Raffle works is we buy raffle prizes from Vendors who have supported us. We then sell tickets to the members and we do a drawing.  This meeting we were luck enough to start the
year with these three great items. The money from the raffle goes to purchase the next months
goodie give away and the raffle prize.


Small Drum Trio

The winners of this months Raffle were Diane W. who won the Beadroller Wall Mount, Martha B. who won the Small Drum Trio Beadroller, and Lori T who won the Project Tray. Congratulations to all the winners.
