Past President has Renewed her Membership

It is fairly typical that the person who is managing a blog for an association forgets to include something of fair personal importance. Like that she renewed her membership. Quite a while ago. And this has happened here. She was so busy blogging about everyone else that she missed herself!

Beth Campbell is the Past President of SWAA and Past Chair of Reflections. And she loves to create. Painting - all mediums on anything that doesn't move. Carving. Sculpture. Photography. Felting. Writing. Sewing. Knitting. Crocheting. And working on blogs or websites. Does playing the piano or gardening count? She feels there is no point in getting up in the morning if you can't create something that day!
