Good morning all! I sure do hope everyone’s been able to stay cool!

Right now I’m halfway through my whirlwind visit to upstate NY. My family and I visited my husband’s family in Jamestown NY for a few days at the beginning of the week. On our way out of town, we stopped at Niagara Falls! It truly was lovely but I think we chose the hottest day of the year to visit! I’ll have photos later, but unfortunately I forgot my camera/computer cable. We were ready to leave but Christopher really wanted to visit the Cave of the Winds first — thank goodness he talked us into that! It was the best part of the whole visit! When you pay for your tickets, the cost includes a disposable raincoat and sandals. You take an elevator down 175 feet, and then you walk out on this deck and stairs at the base of the falls — wow! Did I say “WOW?”!! We were totally soaked but so totally refreshed by the end of that trip! How amazing is our world? No “man” could ever create something so awesome!!

Well … we’re now visiting my parents for a few days — this afternoon, we plan to drive to Cooperstown, home of the Baseball Hall of Fame. I don’t know that we’re doing the museum this trip, but Lake Onandaga and the town of Cooperstown is just lovely too. My parents live about 10 miles outside of Cooperstown. Did I tell you that my first nursing job was in Cooperstown and that the Hall of Fame day is a paid hospital holiday?! I offered to work that day (25 years ago now!), but realized that the only reason it was a paid holiday was because that was the only way they’d find people crazy enough to come into town that day if they weren’t going for the baseball!!!

I just wanted to make sure everyone is planning to attend my newest class, the Fancy Folds Fabulous Florets stamp class! Say that 5 times fast! What a tongue-twister!

This class features 4 cards with the Fabulous Florets stamp set. If you’re around the weekend or weeknights of July 31st/August 1st and August 2nd, feel free to email me to reserve your place in this fun class! The cost of the class is $20 and includes all paper cut and scored, as well as the envelopes of course! You will definitely want to purchase this stamp set and one of every color family designer paper pack when you finish making these fun cards! If you want to purchase the tutorial, you’ll need to contact the creator, Chat Wszelaki at Me, My Stamps and I.

Hope you can make it! For more information, check out my website for dates, times and location HERE.

Stay cool everybody!
