My neighbor Tammy has been away from work on sick leave with a sprained foot. She called last night to ask if she could bring goodies to class ... she was "bored" and looking for something to do. She didn't have to ask me twice! These photos show only a portion of the fabulous food she brought to stamp class! Isn't she awesome?!

Nancy I feel so blessed that I was able to attend this class. The projects were awesome and the food was yummy. You are a wonderful hostess. Please send my best to your wonderful neighbor Tammy we had so much fun at our table.

I know it may be awhile before you have another class but I look forward to the next one. Enjoy the rest of your Spring break. Maybe some time soon we can meet for coffee and take a moment to get away from our daughters Senior madness...lol.
