The  Flame-A-Thon   May 31^st, 2003
The HOPE Bracelet Project Continues.....
Bella Glass & Stencils, 1445 Lamar in Lakewood, CO

What a GREAT time we had!    12 torches were used by 25 bead artists from around Colorado (and even Nebraska!) who contributed their talents for a fun-packed day of glass beadmaking!  Over 600 beads were made during this 7 hour period and all will be contributed to the HOPE Bracelet Project.  Guests also enjoyed door prizes, great food and tours of the expanded and remodeled Bella Glass!

Everyone had so much fun we're planning to do it all over again in 6 months or so!  Stay tuned!   Here are some pix!...........

Many Thanks to all the giving individuals who came together to make the 
first Flame A Thon such a worthwhile event!  

Everyone involved donated their time, food, materials and talents 
to make a difference in the World. 
 
Visitors to the Flame A Thon also donated $659 to Project Mercy!

YOU can also help by THANKING and BUYING from those who donated!  
An article is planned for early next year in a major magazine (we're working on Beadwork) that will list ALL the major donors for the HOPE Bracelet Project.
