OMG TiM! There can't be anything better in this world than Tim Holtz & Stampers Anonymous! Your stamps really ROCK!!!! It's impossible to pick my favorite, but I guess the 2 tops are Artful Flight and Fabulous Flourishes. These are just WONDERFUL!!! Have a great week-end! Lynn B

I bet you've never read this as a comment ever before!
I'm glad when I see something of your items that I don't like, and don't want! Glad!!
But only because I almost want to have everything you make for us to use!! Everything!! And you've done a lot of stuff!! :)It is like a curse. I want and I feel a desperate need of all of your things but I can not buy everything. Even I understand that. ( Almost... ;) ) And that even with a most understanding husband! :)
So now he has done it again. Made gorgeous stampsets that I sit and drool over and just can´t make a choice over which one is a absolute musthave and which one I can spare to have. At least for a time.... :)
Then! There it is! One thing I don´t want!!
And I´m feeling glad. How crazy is that?
Bet you are a little bit curious of what it is that I don´t want to have!?
Clowns. They just give me the creeps. And your clowns didn´t exactly cure me from that!!
So, now they were twelve!
A favorite one you ask? Now here is an impossible thing to do. You made many great sets and they are great in several different ways. So therefore they are impossible to compare with each other.
"Just thoughts": Great thoughts!! And made to beautiful pictures even as text. Many great ways to use these. I love to make cards and often feel a lack of something to say. These thoughts are great! ( A must have :) ! )
"Spooky stuff": Love them all! The splash! Oh what fun you can have with this one! On everything! (Must have it on some of my scraparea furniture!)
The poisonstamp. Great to be able to make your own label, and as many as you like!
( Have to use it for a Halloween party and put a label of poison on every glass as a decoration!) ( Could use your clips! )
The cat and the "Happy Halloween" with that beautifully spider net! Invitations and so on and so on... great!
And what a beautiful stamp you made of the bird! You can really feel it flies away. Or just landing... Love the scratchy feeling.
"Artful flight": I can never get tired of birds. They are everything nature stands for. ( Lucky to live just by the forest.)
And you made a beautiful stampset here too!!
I make small birdhouses in just paper and these stamps are also a must have!
"French marketplace": Oh lovely, lovely handwriting!! This is another must have!!
"Ultimate grunge": Love it!! You can color it and emboss it, resist it and so on and it will be like completely different stamps although it is the same stamp.
( I can´t wait to see you use these stamps yourself. I´m sure it will be inspiring!)
"Mini holiday": MUSTHAVE! Love making homemade Christmas cards and you have made it almost bulletproof to make only great cards with your great stamps! And such a variation in fonts and pictures to choose from!
I could go on and on like this for hours!
You are a true genius in everything you do and even if you heard it before from other fans I just need to say so!
Thank you for making me glad if I find something made by you that I don´t want!
And thank you for having a blog so we can read some of your thoughts and for letting us be able to send some of our thoughts to you!
I sure wish I could come to the show but as I live in Sweden it´s a little bit too far, but I hope you all have a blast!!!
Big hug, Marie Sporrong, Sweden
