ok, thanks for the info. I had someone contact me that had mits, scarves, etc. and wanted to know if I was shipping again. I'll tell her no. I'm sure she'll find someone that does need what she has!!!

I thought I would let any interested gourders know that on Monday, December 14th, John Proctor will be teaching a gourd drum making course here in my workshop in Lakefield.  The course is getting full, but we do have room for some more if you are interested.  It will be a one day course, John will bring all the needed materials, 9:30 - 5 or when finished.  Please write to me if you are interested, and I can give you more details.  I do also have room for anyone who would like to take the course, and needs a place to sleep!

I was just aching for a picture or two of the 2009 GOURDFEST  Thank You Debby!!   You Gourder People sure put on a great show!!   The diversity of artwork is amazing! And so much of it!  Katie....Kudos! wonderful works!!  Congratulations to ALL who entered competition,  you are all winners!   Brigette we are sorry to see you go,  Thank You for all the effort you put in for us.

Awesome Debby!  I have added in the comment section some of the names of who won what.  I did not take many pictures, only a few during a break on Saturday.  I never did get one of the completed travelling gourd.  Did someone take a picture of the top and bottom together?  Please post it if you did.  Otherwise, I will have to go and visit my almost gourd at Margaret's!
