~ Tearful Prayers

My heart is saddened for so many people that I do not even know......

June 17th started as a sunny day where I live but as the day went on the weather started to change to dark and dangerous. I would say it is the most terrifying thing that I am so scared of and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it. A tornado.

Winnebago was out of danger but my daughter and her family and my grandmother plus many of my friends who all live in Albert Lea were not out of danger. I found out later my sister and her family in Hollandale were also in the path of the tornado.

I put on Power 96 live out of Albert Lea on my computer so I could listen to what was going on in my home town. When I heard the tornado was about a mile from my daughter's house I was instantly sick and I could not get in touch with her on the phone by texting. I felt the tears burn my eyes and I prayed. Later she text me and all was fine. Thank you GOD!

I could here some of the towns like Alden, Conger, Kiester and I heard Hollandale on the radio. My sister lives in Hollandale and I never thought for one moment that they were in the path because they live in the country and a few miles away from there. I spoke to my mom and she told me the tornado hovered over my sister's home and took out a few of their neighbors next to them! I can not even imagine how terrified they were and I can not even imagine the sadness that all of these people feel that have lost their homes with all of their memories. Thank you God for watching over my sister and her family. Here is the video where you will see the tornado taking so many homes that were by my sister's house. Her house is the one that you will see to the left right away when the video starts. I never imagined how large a tornado really can be until you see the path of one.

We went to a parade tonight over in Alden and afterwards we drove a few miles away from Alden toward Armstrong and Conger. I could see smoke off in the distances in different directions where people are burning of whatever was left of their homes. Homes are gone! Nothing! One house we seen the roof was off and everything inside gone! A couple of other homes were leveled. One house was stripped naked! I have never have seen an area after a tornado has left its wrath only pictures. Oh my God, my heart was heavy, tears stung my eyes and all I could think of is all of these people have lost their dreams that they created and their keepsake memories from past. They probably only have the clothes that are on their backs! I felt so sick for these people. I did not go to the area to gawk. I went so I could actually see and show my children how dangerous a tornado really is and now my children really understand what compassion for others really is because they seen how these people really do not have a home. They too were so sad for these people.

To me it looked like the tornado ripped through the areas stripping life and leaving behind hell! The homes were like something you would see in a movie like that were once deserted. I can not even tell you how much damage I seen and this was only a couple of miles radius. One tree stood looking broken and beaten and stripped of its leaves and bark. All of the beauty gone. I seen no life around not even birds.

My prayers go out to the families that have lost a loved one, lost their homes and businesses. My prayers go out for their dreams now to rebuild their future. It will be a long path to walk but with faith they will do it.

God Bless YOU and Peaceful Blessings to You and Yours~ Tammy

Scrap Events are Canceled

After a much deliberation with myself I have decided to cancel all Scrap Events and I am tucking the Scrapping on the Go business into a drawer for awhile. I am sure I will air it out sometime into the future.

Life has been going by so fast for me and I have decided that I want more of a relaxed life style. My girls and grand babies are all growing up so fast and I am not getting any younger LOl. So we are taking more walks in the park and having picnics, playing games and puzzles, going camping and just enjoying the moment.

I will still keep this blog up and running with places where you can go and shop, get ideas from checking out other Artist's blogs and updating contests. I will still have my "HOT DEALS" for awhile and sell on Ebay and on Artsylicious Boutique.

I would like to thank all of you for your support through this chapter in my life and I will see YOU later!

Scrap Event Rocked!

Sorry it took so long to create this new post but between the Internet being down for over a week and recouping from the event here it is..........

First a big THANK YOU to Sheila, Heidi and my hubby Mike for helping to get the event ready. There was a lot to do but we did it! I think the biggest thanks goes to my hubby though for loading the van and unloading, loading and unloading and carrying all of the heavy items. I think he is working on body building LOL !

Also, thank you to everyone that was able to attend the Scrap Event or that got to stop in and visit. Because of You I am still able to have a these events!

The 2 day event went by so quickly! We were over half filled for Friday night and there was a FULL house with 32 Scrappers for Saturday's event. Boy there was a LOT of scrapping going on! I have posted a few pictures below.

Here is Heidi Blankenship having Demo time! She showed how to use the

Wizard from Spellbinders, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and JustRite. We ended up having about 20 ladies taking advantage of the Free Demo. There were also some lucky ladies that ended up winning some really nice prizes that Heidi gave away. Heidi has some really beautiful designs and if you would like to see some of her work just click here.

Here are a couple pictures of all the ladies that attended the scrap event. Some moved in for the whole weekend!

Some of the ladies came with friends, some made new friends and I think all of them accomplished a lot of projects. You should of seen the paper flying and tape runners running!

I also had my mini Scrapping on the Go store set up. Lots of new goodies that many of you fell in love with and lots of Hot Buys and sales. This was a great time to get stocked up for summer projects. I think the "hottest deal" was my special paper bin. You could get 6 designed sheets of paper for a buck!

If you have not checked out the left hand side of the blog please have a peek. There are a lot of updates. Some of the shows have been cancelled and I have a new date and new location. Here is the info for the next Scrap Event....

October 23rd and 24th

Fair Lane Building located at the Fairgrounds

Albert Lea, MN

Don't forget to mark your calenders.

I think this location will work out really well because the main thing is that this location is ground level. I know this will make it a lot easier for the rolling totes! Plus there is more room so nobody should have to be put on a waiting list! I am so excited that I was finally able to get in on the reservation!

I realize it will be awhile before the next Scrap Event but if you do need any supplies or certain papers that I carry just give me a call at
