Hi Nancy,

Yes, it was really alot of fun as I never saw a movie being filmed before nor have I ever met any movie stars, so I was really excited about the whole thing! <img src='style_emoticons//smile.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’smile.gif’ />

I have only seen the Antiques Roadshow on Television, and when I bargain hunt, I go to Antique Stores, Garage Sales, and people's homes when they are moving and selling most of their possessions. I also dress down because I don't want them to think I have much money. I try to act really stupid (sometimes that's not hard to do! <img src='style_emoticons//blink.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’blink.gif’ /> <img src='style_emoticons//blink.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’blink.gif’ /> <img src='style_emoticons//blink.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’blink.gif’ /> ), so I can get good deals.

Knitting has become my new passion besides collecting Solids (wow, buying Yarn can get expensive! <img src='style_emoticons//ohmy.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’ohmy.gif’ /> ). All my life I crocheted, and about 2 years ago my Mom knit a beautiful Sweater and she taught me how to knit. I have knitted 2 Winter Sweaters, a Baby Blanket for my neighbor, and lots of Hats and Scarves for the homeless and poor people that I feel so sorry for. I manage to fit in time to do volunteer work, I help out on Thanksgiving or Christmas to feed the people that walk in. Then there are plenty of Disabled and Elderly people that can't shop for food, so I help out with that too.

Right now I am almost done knitting a pretty Pink Sweater for myself and I am knitting a Throw for my Couch.

Jacky, the other extra's told me to get paid, but I wasn't a Registered Extra (one has to be registered with an Acting Agency, which I was not), but I didn't care, all the fun was worth it! It was a sheer accident and I enjoyed every minute of it. <img src='style_emoticons//biggrin.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’biggrin.gif’ /> <img src='style_emoticons//biggrin.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’biggrin.gif’ />

By the way, when is the next IPBA? I have never been as I was very ill with Lymes Disease. I am much better now even though this disease left me with bone damage but I would really like to go! If anyone can give me information about the IPBA, I would truly appreciate it.
