A quick Hello and Happy June!!

Hi friends. Hope you had a nice relaxing weekend. Here's a card from my DeLovely Cosmo Cricket Class which I'll be repeating soon at Smudges. I have lots of June classes booked at Anchor Paper (Plymouth) so check out their newsletter. Let me know if you have any questions by shooting me an email. Thanks Jan for photographing my card. I am loving DeLovely (the newest Cosmo Cricket line). Its perfect for summer and makes me so happy. I'll be back soon with another DeLovely card. Here's to a great and super cool week. Tami

Taking a blogging break

I will not be available for a few days. My classes are both on schedule for Saturday at Caribou Coffee and Sunday at Lunds. If you want to come please email me. I will get back to you on Thursday evening. Have a great week and stay cool friends. I added lots of June classes...check out my schedule (will update it soon) and read the Anchor Paper June newsletter.

Its so HOT here. The heat just about killed me on Monday and its going to be wicked HOT all week. No fun without air conditioning. Just in case you missed my previous post Grandma Jan was the blog candy winner!! "Congrats" Jan and a special thanks to all that participated. To me, you are all winners. I'm going to try and find something to post now as its late and I have to hit the hay or should I say enter the oven upstairs. Yuck. Have fan will travel!! Tami (photograph by Jan)

Finally....Blog Candy Winner!! No Chicken Dinner!!

"Dearest Patter,

Mom drew the name this morning and the winner is Jan in Savage, MN. The cards were all beautiful.

Love you!

Pitter"

Hi again my friends.

This was done fair and square. I can't believe it....go Grandma Jan!! Each person's name went into the drawing. My family and I would not have it any other way. Thanks so much for participating. I will do this again in July for Mother Ellie's birthday. Again thank you so very much. I am sorry for the delay but both Sami and I have been so busy. Happy Monday...the temperature is climbing. Yuck a doo!! Off to go teach more Graphic 45 cards. Hello air conditioning. I am going to miss Dancing with the Stars but will watch it online soon.

Jan you BIG winner, I will give you your prize on Sunday when I see you in my Delovely Cosmo Cricket Class. I can't believe you won you lucky dog. Woo Hoo!! Congratulations and again thank you everyone. Tami "Patter"

You're sweet!!

Hello from HOT and HUMID MN!! Its so gross here. The weather hit 88 degrees yesterday and today they are saying its going to reach 91 but with the humidity it will feel like 97. Great no air conditioning.

I had a great action packed weekend. How about you? I was quite busy all weekend and didn't have a chance to call my family on Sunday. When I got home late last night there was no power in my neighborhood so I went straight to bed. It was so strange trying to feel my way upstairs to bed. I just emailed my sister again so I hope she will answer me so I can find out the blog candy winner. I am teaching the Graphic 45 classes today so another busy day. Not looking forward to going out in this yucky humidity but I have to. Thanks for stopping by friends and have a great Monday. Tami

PS. Sorry for the lousy and crooked scan of my *sweet* October Afternoon card but the original is now in Pine City for my upcoming June Afternoon Delight classes. That reminds me I have to update my June class schedule and send out more emails. Busy as a bee. That's me. Have a super duper week and stay cool...cool as a cucumber (I got your number)!! : )

Saturday...just a note!!

I'm off to take a class in Pine City that was planned long ago. Can't wait to get crafty with my girlfriends both days this weekend!! My friends are the BEST!! Its going to be close to 90 degrees on Sunday and Monday. Yuck...hate humidity. Here's another card I made from a kit I purchased at The Pine City Scrapbooking Store. I hope you have a lovely weekend and for sure I will post the blog candy winner on Sunday evening or Monday am at the very latest. I am so sorry its taken me so long but I've been swamped with things and haven't had a chance to call my family. I did get most of my outside plants all prettied up for the deck. Flowers make me happy and I want more!! Thanks for popping by. Tami

TGIF

Happy Friday. Here's a card I taught recently at Smudges. Have a great weekend friends. Its going to be a HOT weekend. Keeping my post short for a change!! I am teaching a another set of Graphic 45 classes on Monday, May 24. The first one is at Smudges 12:30 PM and the second one is Monday evening at Lunds. If you are interested in attending either of these popular classes please email me ASAP. I do require a certain number of attendees in order to hold each class. Another busy week coming up. We are slated for heat and humidity. Yuck on the humidity! Catch you later. Tami

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
