What a Wonderful Friday.....

3 classes with Tim Holtz in Akron. what a wonderful giving teacher. The team worked like a well oiled machine to make everything go smoothly. Much was easily accomplished in a restricted time frame thanks to fabulous planning. A big thank you to Mario and Darcy for all their help. The first 2 classes were tags mainly to focus on technique....and boy, did we. Little tricks that expand the uses of Ranger products, from distress pads to alcohol ink. All I can say about the new alterations dies from sizzix is WOW. So many applications and they are just perfect.....the texture fades are just awesome. We also put alot of the idea-ology item to work on our projects. Again perfection.Stampers anonymous gave us an atc stamp, I thought that was very generous of Ted. So all in all,not only is Tim a charmer but a "think out side the box kinda designer". If you can, try to squeeze into one of his classes......This man does not disappoint.

working, working, working, O.K. I admit it............I love making tussie mussies. It is nice to go outside in April in Ohio and absorb some spring and transfer it to art. Hope all my friends are having as much fun as me. Going out to that mailbox is going to be exciting. All participants are to send me pictures before they send them off to the waiting girls so I can post them here. Stay tuned.

Well, looks like we're going to have a tussie mussie party!

Girls have started to say yes, I will so, do that, so what are you waiting for ?? Come on....... email me and tell me your ready to join us. The more the merrier. It is time to get messy, you know glue, paper, glitter.....our favorite things in the world.

So how bout we celebrate spring.............yippee

I was thinking maybe a May 1st tussie mussie swap.....you just make one. Make it out of anything you want and any size you want. Fill it with what ever you want, flowers, seeds, candy, tea, just something to brighten someones day and welcome spring. A name will be drawn to see who the lucky recipient of your creation is and then you can wait and see what comes in your mailbox. Sound fun ?????? Let me know by March 31st....dust off you imagination and get busy.

This is the only organized thing in the whole place.

Chrissy had no idea when she made me this fabulous bag for Christmas two years ago exactly how abused and overfed it would be.

I'm going to get to it. It's just a scary pile. That's all. And none of it is junk mail.
