GWAS 2010 was a FANTASTIC Show!

We HAD TO go to the 2010 Great Western Alpaca Show (GWAS) in Denver, Colorado though we did not have any alpacas to show!  We loved seeing the showing, farm booths, the fantastic alpaca entries, the vendors, and last but not least the Fiber Fiesta.  There seemed to be so many farms this year (but I do not know the statistics, in truth) and definitely an excellent showing of quality animals!  I've always believed that any ribbon from GWAS is a good ribbon, with it being a Level 5 show and usually the largest show in the country.  This year, I think was no exception.
 

Celia Quinn Workshop -- A Cultural Experience

I've been so bad lately about posting!... But, I have legitmate excuses!  First there was GWAS (a GREAT show), then the 'Crimp and Lock Pen Sale' with Wildlife Ranch Suri Alpacas and Alpacas de la Patagonia the next weekend, followed by Mother's Day... And peppered in between, the kids' school events like the "Couger" Fun Day!  (Don't say 'cougar day' when you are a woman, since for some reason with the new TV show it makes people snicker now)... Well, anyway, you get the picture, I've been busy.  Really I have!  Does that make you feel better that I 've ignored you for so long?

So, to 'catch' up, I'm going to post several in a row and I'm going to short-circuit some of Celia Quinn info.  Besides, you taking one of her classes soon anyways ;).
