workshop samples...

hey bloggers!  i've been busy around here and finally managed to work off my candy buzz from the weekend.  i just finished up all of my class samples for my workshops this weekend at scrapbook territory in berkley, ca.  i am very excited to teach these 3 new workshops for 2009.  i'm looking forward to hanging out with my students this weekend!  if you're not in these classes, check out my calendar for other dates and places i'll be this year (although i may not be teaching these same workshops so check with the stores.)...

we've also been getting more kits and make & takes ready for the rep show i'm doing next week after my workshops. we're heading out friday morning to the store to teach the weekend, then the rep show for 3 days, then after that, i'm home for a day and we're off to south africa to teach for 2 weeks!  i can't wait - what a whole new adventure this will be...

so, here are the projects - i know many of you ask if i'll post instructions for store workshops on my blog, but i can't since these are exclusive to the students at stores i'll be teaching throughout the year.  maybe a kit or two is in the future though...who knows?...t!m

Great projects! I hope the participants realize how fortunate they are. :^) I'd love to learn just the technique to make the flowers.

Those are some fabulous projects, I really love the grungeboard album, it is stunning! I wish I could be there for just one of the classes, but it´s a bit to fare to travel just for that :)

Hey Tim,
One word on your upcoming classes...AWESOME!

Gosh how I would LOVE to take a class from "the GOD" of paper crafts!!!

I was wondering if you have ever entertained the thought of doing an online class for all of us that are unable to come to a "live" class. I do mean a paid class not a free demo!

I would be very happy to pay for a "live" internet class. I have one to 2 of all your products in a basket on my desk...I call it my FAVORITES!!!!!!

Please, Please take this into consideration I need you...Ha ha in my craft room!

Thanks for all the time you put into this blog and youtubes etc. You rock!

Love those transparent illusions! Have a GREAT trip! My Mom went to South Africa 2 years ago and said it was a trip of a lifetime. I just got done teaching about it today, so I'll be joining you in spirit! Watch out for those sharks if you go in the water!! Safe travels...
