NOFAS interview

A few weeks ago I was previlaged to have a phone interview with a lady from NOFAS(National Organization for Fetal Alcohol Syndrome)  this interview, or should I say my story of what its like living with FAS. Is going to be on there electronic newsletter.  Yesterday the lady that interviewed me sent me the completed interview so I see if everything I said was right.  my interview is going to be in there news letter next week monday. and I think it will be up there for the month of March.  So this is another way of spreading the word about FAS.  I will have a link to it soon.  I am so excited, because I am going to be known nationally. Not just statewide.  
What I have been doing lately, well mostly making paper beads and crocheting. I have been getting some colored ones too from a lady at church. 
Oh and did I mention that in May my mom and I will be going to a FAS conference in Washington D.C.
for three days. I am excited about that too. because I might be selling my jewelry there. 

I wish I had pics to post, but have a broken camera. Hopefully I will get a new one soon.

branching out.

My blog was mainly for the beadwoven jewelry I made. and for FAS awareness. though that is still the case. and the title was merely a pun. but now its not.  I am doing more craft things other then beaded jewelry.  I am crocheting with plastic bags, making small bags, purses, placemats, door mats.  and i might sell those too.  but just this week I have been interested in making paper beads.  and make jewelry with those.  I have been making them out of the scrapbook paper I have. I really don't scrapbook much anymore.(though I have TONS of pictures yet to get in a book.)  I think the designs on the paper is fun. I have made alot of paper beads in the last couple of days. I have some that have bugs on them, music notes, and stripes.  I will have pictures up soon.  Tomorrow is the phone conference for NOFAS I am looking forward to it.
