Thinking of you and a special request

Hi friends- How are you? I hope you had a nice and relaxing weekend. Scrapfest is finally here and boy oh boy is it going to be a fun and exciting week but also a busy one. I can hardly wait to participate in some of the festivities with friends!! :D

My middle sister is grieving really bad (day 10) due to the loss of her beloved pet Yoda. It was my parent's dog too and they are mouring the loss as well as my other sister and her kids. As you can well imagine we are all very sad. Any how I am going to offer a chance for you to win a nice prize package. All you have to do is mail my sister a card. Just let me know you'd like to participate and I will email you her address. Your name will be entered for a very nice prize drawing for some Memory Box goodies including a stamp, a package of designer paper, a package of jewels and pearls, and a card from me. You have until the end of the month Sept. 30 to mail her a card. If you participate I will have her put all the names into a hat and I will have my MOM "the famous Ellie" draw a winner. I plan to be holding on the phone while all this happens. I will mail the prize out to one lucky person on Oct. 5 or get it to you if you live local. Thanks ever so much. There is a picture of Yoda on one of my recent blogs. Here's a card I'm mailing her this week from my Memory Box stash. She told me on Sunday nothing means more to her than receiving a card from me and can you believe I bought her a beautiful one and mailed it to her last Monday? Yes bought....shame on me but my parent's card was hand-made. I wish you all a very pleasant week and thanks for stopping by. Please know this means the world to me --your friendship and my loving family. If you are too busy to participate that's OK too. I totally understand. Lots of love, Tami : ) PS. This really is not *blog candy* but rather a special request for a very special and kind young lady. My sister is truly one in a million and has a heart of gold. Again I thank you ever so much. If you subscribe to my blog and received a post twice its because I accidently pressed "publish post" instead of proofreading my blog first. Hate when that happens. I had to edit it a third time. Darn!! Have a great day. I am still selling stamps. If you want to see what I'm getting rid of just shoot me an email. Bargains galore!! :D

Saturday class change at Anchor Paper (Plymouth)

I will be having two classes at Anchor Paper on Saturday, Sept. 12. Come early around 9 am to shop and then watch the Copic DVD. My Copic 101 class is from 10 am - 12 pm but we are going to start around 9 am. The Graphic 45 card class is at 1 pm. You will make 5 really nice vintage all occasion cards. There is still time to sign up but you must email me on Friday if you'd like to come. I hope you will consider coming to my one of my classes or both. Remember I also have a Memory Box holiday card class on Sunday at Lunds (Plymouth). Details can be found on a previous post this week.

Remember its Friday and that means I posted a new card on the Memory Box blog. I hope you will swing by and check it out.

Next week will be very busy for me with Scrapfest going on at the Mall of America. I will be taking a couple of classes (Copic and Cosmo Cricket) and attending two Crop Around Towns (Cosmo Cricket and Basic Grey). Its going to be a fun week but rather expensive. My Mom treated me to one class. Thanks Mom...you are the best!! I am still selling off some of my stamps so shoot me an email if you are interested in seeing the list. I plan to hopefully prepare a new list on Sunday evening after I get through my weekend classes.

I have a BIG favor to ask. Can anyone please help me out? My family in NH had to have our family pet Yoda put down a week ago today and my family is taking it really hard. I need to make a few doggie sympathy cards for them. Do you have any ideas for me? I would appreciate it very much. R.I.P. dear Yoda. I am very sad too knowing I will never see him again but he is in a better place now "Doggie Heaven". My sister had a private cremation for Yoda. She wrote me such a beautiful note on Thursday and I couldn't stop crying. She is grieving really bad and sent me several pictures of Yoda on his last few days of life. So very sad. I will try and post a card soon. Today is the big day. I'm finally getting a new driveway!! You have no idea how excited I am about this and how long I've waited for this to happen. Thanks for stopping by. I know I've been a bad blogger lately. Tami :D

Memory Box Card Class

Hello friends-
Wow where does the time go? I can't believe I forgot to list my upcoming Memory Box class. I guess I've lost track of time already this month or old age setting in one of the two. The class is this coming Sunday, Sept. 13, 1 pm at Lund's in Plymouth. Make 5 seasonal cards (envelopes included) using Memory Box stamps, jewels, pearls, papers, note cards and more from the new Holiday release. Please sign up soon via email if you'd like to attend as I will be preparing the kits this week and I do have two other classes this week with are listed below at Anchor Paper in Plymouth. I can't believe its already Sept. So much going on this month for me with Scrapfest, two classes and two crops I'm signed up for, and Junk Market. Additionally, I have seven classes so far this month so I hope you will be able to signup for one. If not, most of my classes are available "to go". I hope to see some of my *old friends* in a class or two as I have missed you!! In the Memory Box class we are making Fall, Halloween and Christmas cards and will be using Copic markers. Remember to bring your basic stamping kit including Copics if you have them. Come early if you'd like to grab a Caribou coffee or something from Lunds. I invite you to bring a friend!! Here's one of the cards we will be making on Sunday. Happy Labor Day. Goodbye summer and welcome fall!! Have a fun and safe holiday my friends both new and old. I will be stamping and making class kits on Labor Day. Tami :D
