Home from Tucson

3 out of 4 of us made it home! Deena was on a different flight since she was going to Houston and it got cancelled. Something about a bird fighting with the airplane. I think the airplane won, but is out of commission for a while. She had to spend another night in Tucson, but should be able to return home today. My husband, Ron, actually cleaned out my pantry while I was gone! He must have been really, really bored! I am anxious to get back into the office and back to work. We have so many exciting things going on!

I love the ideas on Auntie's University! Most recently, I used seed beads, wire, and girlie charms, like handbags and shoes, to make wine charms full of personality and style. They were the perfect accessories for our monthly Girls Night In dinner! Thanks for the great idea!
