AfterGlowConvergence 2006 is over but happy memories remain. The Peoria attendees enjoyed shopping, learning, fellowship, meeting new people, viewing all the spectacular weavings, and did I mention shopping! Our next question is just how do we best share all that we learned with our entire group. Over and over, we are reminded how special it is to be able to enjoy weaving activities together. |
