Good and Bad News...

Here's a list of the loot I won at the Crop Around Town last Sat. sponsored by Basic Grey held at my favorite Archiver's (Roseville).

2010 Calendar set
Rub-on roller
Precision file set
Magnetic Precision Mat Kit (includes 18" ruler) Woo Hoo!!

This was the grand prize of the evening. Earlier that nite I won a sheet of rub-ons complete with popsicle stick!! My friend Jan won a 6x6 June Bug paper pack. From the vendor we got the Indian Corn card kit which we all (48 women) chose to make at home. Archiver's gave us a snack bag, goodie bag with a hodge-podge of merchandise, and a nice dinner. We had Starbucks service and then cake. The cake was decorated with the Scrapfest logo. I had lots of fun and hope to go to more Crop Around Towns next year. On Friday night I attended the Cosmo Cricket Crop at Archiver's (Eden Prairie). I really like that store too and it has great employees.

And now for the bad news...
My car broke down on Wed. nite and I cried. It had to be towed. I won't get into the details but a couple I had never met helped me to safety. They just appeared outside like two angels willing to help a woman in need. I feel so blessed that there are such kind people in the world. I will wait to hear from the garage today. I tell you its always something. I wish I could get a new car but that's not going to happen anytime soon. So I am car-less for the time being.

No card today. Sorry but I am not in the mood right now to stamp or scan a card. I've been cleaning throughout the nite and doing laundry as I just can't sleep. I am totally stressed and just full of worry. I normally clean when I'm stressed. Please pray for me the repair is not too costly. If so, I think I may junk it and go without a car. I am so nervous right now. I hope to buy a Power Ball ticket before Saturday and hopefully win BIG! A girl can dream right?? I hope you have a great day and thanks for stopping by. Tami

I'm so sorry about the car problems, Tami! I do a lot of driving and worry about that myself. You are lucky to have found a nice couple to help you :) I hope the fix is not too much.
