I am posting the email that I sent last week here on the blog in case someone didn't get the original email.






Several people mentioned to me that they liked the pink ribbon watch band that I made. So for our October get together we are going to make pink ribbon watch bands or bracelets. I have a wide variety of beads and jewelry supplies so you can make something else if you would rather or just come and visit. For the pink ribbon jewelry I will need to purchase the white heart beads and round beads with the pink ribbons at the gem fair on 9/25/09 so call me ASAP if you want one. So far I have only heard back from 3 sisters so I will probably buy a few extra pink ribbon beads in case someone didn't get the email in time. The rest of the jewelry you can just make whatever you want from the supplies that I bring. The cost will be about the same as for the pink ribbon jewelry. The cost will be $10 for watch bands and $5 for bracelets (see attached pictures). That will cover the cost of all the supplies EXCEPT for a watch face. Many of you already have a watch face that you may want to use. If you don't already have one you can purchase them at craft stores, online, or buy a watch that has a removable bar which holds the band on (usually leather band) at any store. I am checking into a source that has several different styles. I am hoping that she will let me bring the watch faces to our meeting so you can buy them there. I will let you know what I find out. One online source is www.thevirtualtouch.com/watch_slide.html. I haven't purchased from them before but they have a wide selection and their watch faces are between $5-$10 dollars. If you plan on ordering online keep in mind the shipping time so that you have the face before our meeting. You will need to bring your watch face with you so that the watch band and face when put together will fit your arm.

We would love to see you there even if you don't want to make anything. We will be meeting on Thursday, October 15th from 6 p.m. to whenever we are done at the Best Western Cottontree Inn 1030 N 400 E, North Salt Lake, UT‎ - (801) 292-7666‎. They are donating the use of a conference room for us to meet in. They will have tables set up so that we can make the pink ribbon jewelry and misc. jewelry. Please come even if you don't want to make anything. Bring snacks to munch on. We hope to see everyone there.

P.S. Don't forget to call me at 801-628-8091 or 801-732-2707 or email me at candytatton@yahoo.com ASAP and let me know if you want to make a pink ribbon watch band or bracelet so that I have enough supplies. You can pay me when we get together. If you miss the group get together we can try to arrange a time when I can meet you to make yours. I am having my last reconstruction surgery (I hope) on October 29th so keep that in mind if you need to get together separately.

Thanks, Candace Tatton
