Anniversary of the
Tahlequah Native American Flute Circle
Great Success!
We would like to thank all who attended and
those who sent us your warm thoughts. We appreciate you greatly!
The
flute circle was a full house and a wonderful time. Special
thanks to
Laurie and Mike for everything that they did to make the evening as fun
as possible. Almost everyone finished their flute bag and they
look
wonderful! The room was filled with the joyous sounds of
conversation
and hammering on our leather. It was great to see so many new
flute
bags that looked so cool! Here are just a few photos of the evening!
Laurie and Mike working their magic! Way to go!
What was that measurment again?
Working the holes! Watch those fingers!
Congrats to those who won the door prizes
(Thank you Laurie for
making beautiful leather pillows!)
and finished their flute bags!
Way to go Jim and John, 2 of many proud owners of their brand
new handmade flute bags!
Thank you to everyone who
brought the great snacks and
of course, we can't forget the cake!
What a great time! See you again!
