a little bit about Tami

That adds up to plenty of clever ideas to keep kids engaged and amused over summer break. They'll be having such a blast documenting their exploits, they won't even notice they're developing skills in writing, creative expression and gratitude.

I've already signed up for this class with my 10 year old daughter and she is so excited. We are going to make the Paper Doll this weekend and have already purchased HER (emphasis on her) binder. I am considering attempting it with my 3 year old son. He has his binder as well. I've loved Tami's classes and this should be no exception.
My 10 yr. old daughter & I want to take this class together! Thanks for the chance to win and the discount. the.k.krew(at)gmail(dot)com
I am already planning on getting this class for myself and my 8 year old daughter on payday it looks like such fun! Now there's a discount too cool! We have lots of things we do in the summer. We enjoy strawberry and blueberry picking at local farms and in August there is a WONDERFUL maze cut into a sunflower field that we go to.

Oh, fun, fun! My almost 7-year old would adore this class. The 4-year old? She'd want to do it just because Sissy's doing it!

I love BPS classes and have been looking into taking this class with my 8 yr old cousin. I figured the little doll thats made in the class would be perfect to take on our cruise/disneyland trip coming up in july.
Our favorite "thing" to do actually involves 3 parts. We go up to a lake about an hour away, and spend each day doing only 3 things: eat, sleep, and play. That's the life :)
Sounds like a fun class! Love to take the kids to the lake just to enjoy a sunny day;)
I love to take my son to play at the water parks on hot days. He loves it sooo much, and it gives me an excuse to play in the water too!!
During the summer, I enjoy life's slower pace. My kids and I love going to the beach to look for beautiful rocks and we love watching the veggies/flowers grow in the garden. Tami's class sounds full of great ideas!

Oh, I would love to win a spot in this class. My daughters would love it, too! One of our favourite things to do in the summer is simply eat outside at the patio table. My girls started asking to do this about six weeks ago, but the weather hadn't cooperated until this past weekend!
My daughter and I would love this class! One of our favorite summer activities is the zoo.
We would love to do your workshop! My 2 DDs (5&7) would love it!! This summer, we plan on visiting relatives, using our season passes at the nearby theme park, and learning to swim!

Favorite activity: family vacation in Sept. (we homeschool). We go to the beach and enjoy fewer people and usually cooler weather.
I need this!!! I'm a Tami fan from way back - I stole her craft room shelves...(well, not really, but the idea)...and never thanked her!
Of all the summer activities we've done, my favorite has been having a "Cousins' Camp" for all the cousins age 8 and older on my husband's side of the family. It has been a way for my kids to have a great 3 days with their cousins. Sometimes Grandma and Grandpa have been able to come. I choose a theme each year and our activities and food center around the theme. I make a banner and fly all the previous banners and it is just a great time!
This looks SO fun! Thanks for the chance to win!
Swimming, beach, baking.

My kids are excited about the class. We usually fill our summer with lots of staycation ideas - swimming, tubing, hikes, parks, picnics. I can't wait until the kids are home with me to begin.
lots of swimming at Grandmas and water gun fights in the backyard (yup, I have a boy)
Our favorite summer activity is going to the beach as much as we can!!
I am so excited about this class and was thinking about signing up! This makes it even more enticing. One of our favorite summer activities is to have water gun fights in the yard. It's a fun way for everyone to play together - kids and adults - and we all get cooled off. :)
Summer is swimming time - both at the beach and the local school pool which we get a key to each year. We love the beach for swimming; picnics; rock pool explorations or just to sit and walk beside - and always there has to be a sandcastle built (and destroyed)
I'm a teacher and love my summers at home. This year there's a new baby to enjoy so lots of walks, snuggling, and picture opps!! Can't wait. Would love to win this class!
I would love to win this class. I have been considering it for a few weeks. One of my favorite summer activities is to hang with my sister while the kids play outside. Simple, but awesome.
