     The top piece is finished.  This would make a beautiful barrette.  I've diagramed it out.    Need to refine  it, incase I decide to teach this one.  I'll add the middle bead, when I start to sew it to the box.

  Jan, donated, two of her books to each of the dinner tables.  Someone, at the table, drew names to see who had gotten one of her books at each table.  I was lucky enough to get one of her special, signed books.

   Gift Exchange:  Most of us brought a gift for the gift exchange.  I had gotten an awesome gift from Jan Keizer, from Canada.  The little pick is used to pick out tatting.
