I meant to share this story with you all and forgot to mention it in my show off post.
I was going to the P.O. and stopped to pick up our weekly local paper from the paperbox in front of the hardware store. My neighbor had told me the other day, that my picutre was in it from the show at the museum. Well, I was laughing so hard, I had to call Hubby. Underneath, it said, "Award winning artist Jerri Roey, Hoschton.........."
I told Hubby, the only award I could remember was in 7th grade when I received an award for "Outstanding Effort" (I wasn't a particularly good student, but I had a lot of teachers I liked that year, so I really did try hard, especially on projects.) and my best friend at the time, an A student, teased me unmercifully, saying, "You tried, but you just couldn't do it."
Hubby and I were laughing so hard, I had tears in my eyes, and he said, "Well, it probably wasn't an award for your beads, it was that award for your glass blowing." (At a past art show, a photographer took a picture of me doing a demo on the torch, and it was in that town's paper, and it said something about my "blown glass beads".)
