Happy Birthday Nurse Sue!!

How do you do? This card (make and take from Smudges) left for Cape Cod today for one of my 'ole gal pals from MA. I hope Sue likes it and I know it will be a total surprise for her. Hope you are enjoying the summer. Haven't been doing too much stamping lately as its not fun in the heat for me. Recently went on a mini vacation (two days) to Duluth with a couple friends. We had a good time on the north shore but it went by so quickly. What have you been up to? Can't believe July is almost over. Thanks for stopping by. Tami

How does your garden grow?

Hello friends. How goes the battle? Its super late now but I wanted to post a card I taught Wed. at Smudges. Had a great time with the ladies and it was also our monthly ATC night. Our theme was cold drinks and Ruth Ann did a fabo job leading our group. It was a great day but quite HOT and HUMID. I've been keeping busy with life and other personal issues (bills, car). I have new classes next week at Anchor Paper and Smudges, Tues. and Wed. respectively. I've certainly had my share of DeLovely Cosmo Cricket goodness lately but I never get tired of the paper line. Its perfect for summer and I love it all. I have lots of class samples to share with you. I even have my own personal photographer Grandma Jan!! Thanks girlfriend. I appreciate all your efforts and kindness very much. Actually we are going on a little roadtrip this Sat. with our other friend Chris. Woo hoo. Can't wait!! I shouldn't be going but I just gotta get out of town again!! Life is good when you have great friends!! Don't you agree? We are family (think of the song)!! : )

Its time to hit the hay. Sweet dreams and I wish you a very pleasant Thurs. Its going to be another hot one again today with high humidity...87 degrees yuck. I plan to post another card later on today so I hope you will check back Jack!! Thanks for popping by the 'ole bloggie and please feel free to say *hello* yellow and be a good fellow!! Such a poet and didn't know it. Tami Whami
PS. Smudges sells the Pure Innocence stamps and I love them. Total sweetness. I used this line on my card and I would love more of these incredibly cute stamps! A girl can dream right?? I now own the ice cream cone girl. Can't wait to ink her up in just a bit. Sorry for the long post.

A little cheer...

Good morning friends and happy Thursday. Today's going to be a fun play day for me and I can hardly wait to work on my outside plants and spruce things up a bit on the deck. The weather forecast is for more gorgeous weather and plenty of sunshine both of which make me SO happy. Sunshine wishes!!

Here's a card from yesterday's class at Smudges which I'll be sending to my sister and teaching again. I'm SO loving Pure Innocence stamps and October Afternoon papers. My Wednesday class went well and the ladies worked really hard on their projects. Can't wait for my next class at Smudges. Leslie and Trish are such nice women. Love them both.

Our ATC meeting was fun and we made several paper flowers. It was neat spraying them with assorted Glimmer Mist colors although my hands are still pretty stained!! Hope you all have a great day. I will NOT be participating in the garage sale. I am actually quite relieved and happy as its no picnic in the heat. I'll have my own garage sale some day and still plan to put stamps in a public sale next month. Can't wait for the weekend as I'll be spending some quality time with my girlfriends and another visit to Pine City on Saturday!! I appreciate my friends and am very grateful to have several wonderful people in my life. You are all so amazing and I feel so blessed. Its very comforting to know you can always count on your good friends through good and bad times. Thanks so much for your gift of friendship. Friendship is the greatest gift ever. A *special thanks* to all the wonderful people that support me with my classes. Its not always easy but I do enjoy it. Planning on bringing my car to the shop for repair on Monday. I'll mail the blog candy just as soon as I find out the winner and actually get the prize in my hot little colored hands. Thanks for the visit and do something fun today. Share the love. Peace. Tami
