Tim Holtz Tuesday!

How cool would it be if Tim Holtz was a guest blogger or was doing an interview with me? Totally, right? Yeah, but he isn't. BUT, I do have a project that I created with him. I was fortunate enough to have the chance to take a class with Mr. Holtz over the weekend. This is my second opportunity and I have to reiterate that he is such an incredible spirit. You know those people you meet who are genuinely beautiful in heart and thought? That is Tim Holtz. Okay enough poetic, onto the creation.


This is one of two classes I took with Tim on Saturday. (Like how I dropped the "Tim" as if we are on a first name basis?) It is called "Patchwork Pandemonium" and it is a technique-centric experience. Every one of those patches was created with an ink, stamp, and/or paint technique. As he put it, it was "a five hour aerobic workout without ever leaving your seat." No kidding, but I LOVED every moment of it. And the amazing thing was each persons turned out different because we are all driven by different colors.

On a side note, I have to say that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my readers!!! Truly. I was in my local scrapbook store today to grab some distress stain and a lovely lady informed me that she read The Squirrel Hole. I have to say that completely made my day, ( and I was having a rocky kind of day). So I just want to let you all know that I appreciate you taking the time from your life to spend a little bit of it with me. You all warm my heart.
