Hey, are u still among the living there gal....haven't heard from u in forever..........drop me a line or give me a call....still in phoenix...and still doing embeds...... wendy geltyme.com

After reading several of the post on the confusion on the AZ gathering, I thought maybe I could help clear things up. Yes, there are two different sites: azgathering.com and theazgathering.com. Rose (azgathering.com) started the gathering years ago, for mostly soapers in the Phoenix area. It grew from a small group of just a few ladies, to a large yearly gathering of more than 150 crafters. Each year, Rose along with a small committee would put this gathering on. I attended as a vendor and did demos for them for years. As with all committees from time to time problems arouse. Decisions on the purpose or the direction the gathering should go; tore the group apart. Several of the original committee member quit for their own personal reasons. Rose, however, was told that her services were no longer needed by one last committee member. I know she left with a heavy heart. This year, the gathering has now been given to a totally new group of people, who felt they were entitled to use the name of the 9th annual azgathering.com. Yes, Rose is my web designer and a good friend. In the last eight years that I have known her, I've seen her devote her services as a soap supplier, as a web designer, and a teacher to hundreds of crafters. I know her hopes for the azgathering were only to continue to improve and provide new opportunities to all who came. Since she is no longer apart of the gathering, she has once again started a new endeavor. Azgathering.com is still for soapers and candle makers. Rose has continued to use the name she registered from the beginning. The purpose of the gathering (The Summit) has changed somewhat. It is now geared to help crafter learn how to start their own home based business or for others who just need a little helping hand. The gathering in June will be a fun day, just as it always has been. I will be there to spend time with several of my customers and friends. I hope this clears up some of the misunderstanding; there are always two sides to every story, just ask….then make up your own mind. Geltyme.com
