A NECESSARY TOOL

I head out in two days to teach at the AQS Phoenix show. Organization & preparation is a must for any traveling teacher.....

 Here's one of my most important tools......yup.....the bathroom scale.  If you've traveled lately, you know that fees for checked baggage can mount, especially if you exceed the magic number of 50 lbs.

So, even though I've already shipped a box of supplies.....I'm still concerned.

Just look at all this stuff I have to bring.....so, I begin by weighing myself. Yuck....winter cold and icy roads have prevented me from doing the 90 minute daily 'forced march', so stepping on the scale was not pleasant.  

Then I lift a suitcase and step back on the scale.....fingers crossed that the difference doesn't equal more than 50 lbs.  FYI - BEADS and embellished quilts weigh more than you think......

It will probably be pretty quite here on my blog most of next week unless I can figure out how to post from my ipad......ya I know...you techies already have that mastered....but this old dog doesn't.....  If you are attending the show, please stop by to say hello.....
