BOO to you!!

Hi friends!! Today is the big day. I just finished with everything. WOW...lots of prep. I just have to shower, wrap up a few more door prizes and pack up the car. I want to pop into Micheals and use my coupons yes even before the party. The card I posted today is one from a recent class and its going to my parents. They are so good to me and I miss them dearly. I hope you are having a great weekend and that you will leave me some blog love so when I get home late tonight I can read your comment. Please remember to go visit the Memory Box blog to see my Friday guest blog. I made a poinsettia card and I really like how it came out. Take care now and have fun. Beer me tonight at the Halloween party!!! Wicked Witch Tami :D'

Hello friends!! I'm still alive but I've got a bone to pick with you....

Wednesday evening was our monthly ATC (Artist Trading Card) gathering at Smudges (thanks Trish and Leslie). Here's a pic of my ATC. The one on the left is my actual ATC because I used two tiny ribbon scraps on the corners. I also love to staple!! I'd love to get my paws on the Tim Holtz baby stapler (tiny staples). On my ATC I forced myself to use the small white/black polka dot ribbon as I had saved the short scraps in hopes of finding more of the ribbon. That never happened. Oh well its not like I don't have enough ribbon to open a small store. We had a blast at Smudges as usual and the ATCs were totally awesome. I will try and post more after my Halloween party is over. Erin lead the project at our ATC meeting and we made a spooktacular PEEPS pumpkin box holder. I hope to mail mine to my neice and nephew in NH on Monday. They all came out so cute but its too big for me to scan for the 'ole blog.

Gosh AOL pi--es me off!! It constantly crashes and I lose my Internet connection continuously. I just lost my entire post gosh darn it.

Anyway I best get to bed now as its super late and I need my beauty rest. I've been keeping busy prepping for my Halloween bash on Sat. night and I finished my weekly Memory Box Friday card on Wed. Yay me!! I'm still accepting signups for Sat. nite so let me know if you'd like to join us. It going to be a stamping good time!! I hope you had a great day and a pleasant tomorrow. Tami...later gators. Oh I've been watching a lot of football lately and of course my favorite show Dancing with the Stars. I'll be back hopefully soon. Happy Birthday Ruth Ann if you are reading this and Chris you better email me. Its been way too long dude. I never talk like that!!!

Happy Friday!!

Not much new except a reminder to hop on over to the Memory Box blog to check out my Friday card. I'm still alive however I don't have anything to post right now as I'm at the library having a little quiet time and blurfing a bit. Its a tad bit chilly out and NO sunshine again today. I will try and post a card tonight after I watch Ugly Betty. I've been working on my class samples for the big Halloween stamping bash next Sat. in Moundsview!! Anyone else want to join us? It will be a stamping good time!! Have a great day. TGIF...Tami

PS. Has anyone noticed the numerous emails Archiver's has been emailing out lately? I'm dying to go check out things but part of me says NO Tami don't go!! I think I even noticed a 40% off coupon. Desperate times call for desperate measures is what I like to say!! Me I'm still recovering from Scrapfest back in Sept. Today their coupon was a free inkpad with a stamp purchase but not from the $1.99 Hotspot. LOL!! Like I already don't have about 500 plus inkpads. Sad but probably true!! OK call me Sassy Friday Tami!! I guess its better than being crabby and irritated Tami (me last nite). TTYL peeps and lurkers too. Have a good one and don't let your meat loaf. Gosh its been a long time since I've said that one. Ta ta friends.

Another chilly day in Minnesota!!

I am sitting on the sofa freezing my you know what off. Its chilly willy me silly and I don't feel like doing a darn thing today. I need to turn the furnace on. I know lots of local peeps are probably at the Minnesota State Fairgounds today buying more rubber (stamps) but I'm staying put. Had a good time at Archiver's crop last nite with Sherry. Got to go now. Have a great day.

Oh this is the Memory Box card I sent my new Alaskan friend Armie this week. Glad you liked it girlfriend and the goodies you won. I'll be back later today as I have to update my October classes again. I need to get stamping but I don't feel like it. What are you doing today? If you are local please leave me a comment or shoot me an email and tell me how the Rubber Stamp Expo was pretty please. I will stay home this weekend!! I will stay home this weekend!! Can I do it??? Later gators and we did get our first dusting of snow this morning. Its already melted but I do need some heat in my house. Brrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!! Tami :D'

Happy Thursday...Fall...brrrr!! (only 40 something degrees)

Hello friends!! I got up at 4 today. Yesterday I had a bad day and was so irrated and crabby. I'm not usually like that. Nothing seemed to go right so I went to bed early. Anyhow today is a new day and I'm feeling much better. I am off to go teach a Graphic 45 class at Anchor Paper. First stop will be Caribou or Starbucks!! I hope you have a great day. I needed a card yesterday so here's the one I mailed off to a very special friend. I know I already posted a card very similar to this one but I put a new twist on it!! I love the tree stamp and papers by Memory Box. Lots of possibilities with it!! See you soon. I meant to say I'll be back later either tonight or tomorrow. Be good and stay warm. Ta ta....Tami :D

Winner winner chicken dinner!!

Hello card makers (for my sister Samantha), Ellie (Sherry), and the sweet gal from Singapore that sent me a card too. I just had to coin Amy T.'s (WA) phrase as I love it...Winner winner chicken dinner. Samantha had Mother Ellie draw for the Memory Box winner and Mom drew Armie. Congrats Armie!! Woo hoo!! I know we all like to win however there was only one winner this time. In my eyes you are all winners as you gave the gift of kindness and friendship. I really appreciate each one of you doing it. They told me the cards were all very nice and it meant the world to them. Thanks SO much friends. You know who you are. Tami :D I will try to have another prize drawing soon. xooxxo Ta ta.

Happy Halloween!!

Lots of things to tell you about today. I hope you had a great weekend. I taught a class at Anchor Paper on Saturday and other than that I had a very nice and relaxing weekend. Today I posted a card I made last week with Copics, my favorite Memory Box tree stamp, and the new Basic Grey Eerie Halloween paper. I can't get enough of this stamp!! Speaking of Halloween, for those of you that asked about my annual Halloween Party in The Garden Room (Moundsview) the party is Saturday, October 24th at 6 pm so come if you dare for some wicked good stamping times. We always have a blast so I hope to see lot of you locals. You may sign up via email. Food, friendship, fun, games, prizes and stamping.

I spoke to *Ellie* (Mommy dearest) this morning and she'll be drawing a winner this evening for the Memory Box prize after Sami gets home from work. One person will be receiving a nice prize soon for those of you that sent cards to Sami and a Ellie in NH. I can not thank you enough for your kindness. It really meant so much to me. I will mail out the prize tomorrow. Good luck to you all. My dad is golfing today. Nothing will stop him!!

Tonight the Minnesota Vikings are playing the Packers at the Metrodome. Woo hoo!! Tomorrow the Minnesota Twins are playing AGAIN at the dome game #163 no less. Talk about excitement!! Its been all the buzz this past weekend. However tonight those football players are cutting into my favorite program Dancing with the Stars. How dare they!! The nerve of them. I have to catch the dancing wicked late. Oh there I go sorry my old MA vocabulary just slipped out!! Wicked good tv!! Hee hee.

Next up, I have two classes this week (Anchor Paper Plymouth). They are both Graphic 45 Vintage Cards (make five cards). I am looking for more signups. Anyone out there want to come??? Pretty please with sugar on top!! :D

Ok...I better go now. I have lots of work to get done today. For all the women that participated in Nancy's ATC swap thank you very much. I received my swaps back last week and they were awesome. Woo hoo for Memory Box and Poppy Stamps.

Have a great week my friends. Thanks for popping by the 'ole bloggie today. I can't wait to get my sister's email tonight stating the card winner. Tami Peace!!
