Holiday Sweater Contest! While the weather may still be on the warm side, school has started, football season has started, and I am beginning to plan for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas! Now one might ask, how does this affect Texas ESA? Well, first in my mind is the November Craft Fair associated with our November State Board Meeting. Second will be the First Holiday Sweater Contest during the have thought of some “rules”… Here they are:
1. Safety first – no electrical supported sweaters; in other words, participants cannot be connected to an extension cord.
2. Cordless battery operated designs are allowed.
3. Sweaters must be worn by the participant, no hanging the sweater on a hanger and must be worn during the craft fair to allow those in attendance to view and vote.
4. All participants must take their sweater home at the end of the competition… I have plenty of my own!
5. Pictures taken may be posted on our Texas State Council Web Site, FaceBook Page, ESA Wonderful Wednesday Blog/Email, TESAN and/or Jonquil.
6. Categories and prizes are under development. Just know that monetary prizes are not available…
We are looking for fun, creativity, cute, ugly, outlandish, colorful, and interactive between members… and so much more! PLEASE let me know if you are planning to enter the contest. Just send me an email with your intentions to wearing a Holiday Sweater. This will help me prepare for voting and results tabulation. My deadline is November 1st to hear from you!
Convention Charm Contest! During the Association of the Arts Craft Faire on Saturday of the November State Board Meeting, we will have a Charm Contest! Send 2nd VP Debbi Morris a picture of your charms and the way you wear them or show them off. Photos of entries will be displayed during the Craft Faire for voting by ballot, and prizes will be awarded to the winners on Sunday morning. Old Convention Charms will be sold: $5 for 2013 charms, $2 for 2008-2012, and $1 (6 for $5) for 2007 and earlier years.

Now for the IAWL Trivia Question for this week… I don’t think that I have asked this one yet. Film editors are extremely important to make sure that parts of scenes are matched to flow the sequences of the movie. There is one major flub or goof by the film editor. Do you know what the error was? It happened when George was talking to Harry about the coming home festivities Bedford Falls was planning when Harry arrived home from visiting President Truman at the White House.
