Group / Label EMails in GMail

How to make a Label to send group emails:

Log in to GMail.

Go to your Contacts by clicking on the Google apps button in the upper right (it's the nine little squares next to your Google Account icon)


You might need to click on More at the bottom of the list.


On the right side of the Contacts, click on "+ Create label."
Give the new label a name and click Save.
Then scroll through your Contacts and click on the people you want in the label.



You should see the label in the list when you click on the overflow button (the three vertical dots in the upper right) and then click on the label you want to add the address to.
Then click the X to close the contact, it saves automatically.

Once you add all the addresses you want to the Label, you just start a new email using the Label name as the email address.  For example, I created a Label called "Test Email Entry."  I recommend using BCC (blind carbon copy) so that other people on the list don't see all the email addresses.

Road Trip

There's a little store in Buellton, CA.  Creation Station is run by Dawn and Patrick (and a few other people).  They have a fantastic collection of stuff and fabric there.  If you're in the area, I'd strongly recommend stopping by and looking around.

They even have a web site, which they are working on updating:

Here's few pics from our latest stop:

Quilt as a bedspread.




Pattern to make a smock.

Yo-yos that you can make into a Christmas Tree.

Pre-cut 1/2 and full yards of fabric.

Yes, this quilt is less than a foot on a side!  Too small for me to make anymore.


These are "fat quarters"  1/2 yard of fabric then cut in half to make almost squares instead of a 1/4 yard of fabric.

They have loads of antiques scattered around the shop.

Stacks of fabric divided by color.


This one has a very 50's flavor.



Lots of books for ideas, patterns and learning.



Little packs of fabric.

Rolls of rick-rack.


I think the plants are supposed to grow over the frames.

These were made on a 3D printer.  I should have bought the blue one. The ring on the bottom twists to open and close.
