I am leaving the motor home story for Marnie to tell!  Whew!…it was halloween after all!!  Anyway Marnie is in Montgomery and I am so excited about our class that starts tomorrow.  She would not divulge too too  much but said we would learn so much about ourselves…design and color!  Marnie hails from Denver, lives in Highlands Ranch just 25 minutes from her hometown.  She has lived in the northeast, owned her on needlepoint shop and has 3 children, 2 stepchildren and 9….yes 9 grandchildren all in the Denver area!!  Here are a few shots of Marnie awaiting the sloooooow baggage at carousel 2 and 3!
