Laguna Lanyarders!

My sister-in-law and nieces planned and hosted a lanyard workshop a couple of weeks ago out in southern california. I really wanted to hop a flight to the west coast and join in! Everything they did was top notch: the assembled talent, the bead choices, the display, the food, and of course the beautiful work they did!

Here's what they wrote me about the experience:

Even though this lanyard party happened just after Valentine's, it actually began at Christmas. Shannon Thornburg gave her mom and sister packets of beads as their gifts. She wrapped them in shiny paper and hung them on the tree like icicles!!

Friends and neighbors of the the Thornburg girls gathered on Friday, February 19th to make lanyards. Everyone had a great time, and Shannon's jambalaya was a big hit!!

And, most importantly, lots of beautiful lanyards were made. It is so fun to see how different each creation is and the endless possibilities, each magnificent in it's uniqueness. This is such a wonderful reflection of Erin and her amazing creativity!!

Hopefully this will be just the first of many.
