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.
