I had the wonderful opportunity to visit the Tucson Gem and Mineral show this past week with my good friend Julianna. This is where many different types of jewelry, findings and mixed media wholesales come together to show their wares.
I've been told there are more than 40 different type of shows going on simultaneously for the two week time frame and basically the entire city of Tucson Arizona is taken over. I have to say, I've never seen so much bling all in one place at one time. If you don't have a plan when you visit this amazing marketplace... you better get one fast! You can get in some big trouble at these shows if you don't have a plan because there is so much to be had your head will explode by the third tent!!!

Susan Lenant Kazmer was of course there with her amazing line of products along with her Ice Resin. She also proudly displayed her line with in the Spellbinders Media Mixage line that we launched together at CHA last month!
All and all it was a fun experience to see so much eye candy in one place and if you ever get the opportunity to experience the Tucson Gem show, I would highly recommend it because its open to both the trade and the general public!!
One word of advice... As you can see as Julianna and I left Tucson.... You gotta know when it's time to get "out" of Dodge!!!

In closing, since I had so much fun this week, I thought that maybe you could share a fun adventure you were on recently. Leave me a comment and in next week's post I will do a random drawing and give a way a copy of the current issue of Where Women Create magazine that I was featured in. Good Luck!!
Hugs,
