Good morning all! I took the summer off from "blog hopping" but since it's fall and raining for something like the 20th day this month, I'm back to the blogs.
Joanna's craft room idea at Bcon was a great one. I'm not very good with crafts, but I went to two sessions anyway. I was so pleased that Jim and his committee were willing to go out on a limb and try some different things that I wanted to support the efforts.
I chose to make miniature flowers because I like the books Camille writes-both the periodical table ones and the miniature ones. And I made bath salts because its something I like. I was surprised that both sessions were pretty full and that I was able to do both crafts fairly well! And I came home with the first in Cricket McRae's series. (I already have all of the Grace books I think.) Great idea Joanna.
At the book Bazaar I picked up the first of Betty's series and the first in Monica's series-though I've read some of that series-out of order-over the years.
AND it was fun to actually meet Joanna. I'm sorry she moved from St.Louis but at least I finally met her!
Caryn in St.Louis
So glad you liked the crafts room at Bouchercon, Caryn!
We had a lot of fun with it and hope to repeat the idea at Left Coast Crime (LA) and Bouchercon 2010 (SF) next year.
