Congratulations, Janice! Considering how many lovely things you have designed and the awards that you have won, your "fame" is well-earned!
So, the real question is... when TV stardom and the grueling challanges of organizing the IOLI convention are finally done in August - what on earth will you do with yourself? Time to write a book, maybe? ; ) Clay -- Clay Blackwell Lynchburg, VA USA -------------- Original message -------------- From: Janice Blair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hi Sue, > I was nervous but the first hour was spent with me making lace while the > cameraman filmed from all angles, including looking down over the upstairs > balcony.
