I was delighted to have a first newcomers meeting at my house last Monday week. I had the chance of course to meet Karina and her dedicated approach: the first thing she taught me was how to make a gem purse from a fruit juice carton! But it was lovely to meet Maureen, who turns out to be my neighbour anyway and whom I had not met before. I feel very excited about becoming a member and I hope that I can offer services you guys would like to have. I feel slightly uncomfortable spending my gems but not earning any yet. So please get in touch! I have met Cath who did a fantastic job with glass, in my house today and whom I am booking for a glass taster evening for another womens group I belong to. The possibilities are endless. Many thanks to Skillsexchange. Barbara
