t!m, what a fascinating life you must lead. I know you're probably scrapbooking all of your memories, but have you ever considered writing your memoirs? I know, I know, you're busy. Just think about it. Rubber Hugz to you, Jan in Tucson PS when are you coming to Pages in Progress in Tucson to teach?? I know Terry, the owner has talked to you a while back. ;)
Posted by: Jan Francis | July 02, 2009 at 11:50 AM
Tim I am so excited that you are on your way back to Massachusetts. I would love to be able to come to one of your classes. I may see you in September. How fun!
Posted by: Julie H. | July 02, 2009 at 11:52 AM
Does this mean you will be resting or will you be creating?
Posted by: geezee | July 02, 2009 at 11:57 AM
Have a blast in your Studio T!m!!

I wish you'd come to MI!

oohhhh I wish I was going to JAPAN! HAVE FUN
Posted by: Jenn C. | July 02, 2009 at 12:09 PM
I could only make the MA classes, but have "obligations" on Sept 11th each year. :( Oh well, maybe one day I'll make a class! Did I read right - JAPAN?? Wow, how different and cool that will be! Take some time for yourself Tim! Life IS a great journey, but you need to spend some time enjoying it (while knowing that ours are more enjoyable because you give so much of your own to us!) Go have a mojito and sit under the trees - you've earned a least that much today!!
Posted by: Denise Ramo | July 02, 2009 at 12:13 PM
Your dance card is full! Can't wait to see what you come up with for Creative Escape. At last, I get to take a Tim class!!! Yay.
Posted by: Renee S. | July 02, 2009 at 12:13 PM
Well maybe I'll just have to go out and buy a store so hopefully you'll come and teach. Have fun Tim!!! :o]
Posted by: lois skiathitis | July 02, 2009 at 12:34 PM
I'm so excited you are coming back to Ink About It. I hope to register for a class.
Posted by: mamichelle | July 02, 2009 at 12:42 PM
Oh I wish I lived closer or had the resources to let me come to one of these events. Oh well a girl can dream!

Oh man...how I wish I was going to be anywhere near anywhere you are going to be so I could take a class.....*sigh* There's always next year!
Posted by: Theresa Grdina | July 02, 2009 at 02:20 PM
Thanks for showing us the projects so those of us who aren't able to take a class can live a little vicariously through them.
Don't over do it! A little less t!m is a lot better than no t!m at all!

Makes me feel exhausted just reading that itinerary!! You did make it to Western Australia a couple of years ago. Coming back any time soon??
Safe travels
Posted by: Christina B. | July 02, 2009 at 03:49 PM
I so would love to take a class with you. Any chance you will come to NC? We hillbillies would love to learn from you!! ;)
Posted by: Alicia Sharp | July 02, 2009 at 04:10 PM
Hey Tim, I loved your class at Ten Seconds Studio. I took my frame to work and had show and tell. They think it's beautiful too. You mentioned "finding stores" that sell by the pound in New York. Could you shoot me a link or address? I live in a "finding store" dry area. Do you have any Bird kits left over? I'd truely love to play with one. Thanks again and I WILL see you again.

Your schedule is crazy! Your energy level is too! I only wish I had that much get up and go! I hope next year brings you to the midwest as I want to take one of your workshops so bad! Have a great time the rest of the year!
Posted by: Sue | July 02, 2009 at 04:43 PM
Wow - I'm exhausted just reading about all the stuff you have packed into your schedule. And inbetween all the travelling, you actually have to find time for creating and prepping all the projects. Amazing!

Can't wait for the day that you visit Simply Scrappin' in Lafayette, LA! Hope you have a wonderful and safe Fourth of July!
Posted by: Rebecca W. | July 02, 2009 at 05:24 PM
Spend some time in the studio for me, ok? I want to create - just need to take the time! *lol*
Congrats on booking your last shop time! You ARE the man!
Posted by: Nancy | July 02, 2009 at 05:34 PM
I'm always glad when you're back in the studio sampling. You always share with us and for this I know I am grateful.

Darn! I wish I was near one of your classes. Maybe someday!
Posted by: Vicky Hrabe | July 02, 2009 at 06:44 PM
So far you haven't come to a store near me, but I won't hold out hope!

I am always amazed at how much you manage to do - and feel so fortunate that you live close enough that there is an occasional class in AZ.
Of course, at the same time I looked at that list and was sad to see no more in AZ :-)
(I did put my name in for the lottery for opened up spaces at Creative Escape - but I figure that's a long shot - and for the budget's sake hubby hopes so!)
Posted by: KarenLouiseM | July 02, 2009 at 07:00 PM
I am just so incredibly bummed that you won't be at ScrapFest in Minnesota this year!!!! But I hope you have a fabulous time in Japan -- how exciting!
Posted by: Kim | July 02, 2009 at 07:11 PM

I'll be seeing you at Queen's Ink in August. I might be on crutches, but I'll be there! Happy Creating!
Posted by: Fran Podlesney | July 02, 2009 at 08:01 PM
I am SO happy and SO excited to be in your patchwork pandemonium class at The Queens Ink. OMG, I can hardly wait. I really did not think I would be so lucky for you to be holding a class only about an hour or so away from me. So COOL!! I cannot wait to meet you both. See you soon:)

Posted by: Shirley | July 02, 2009 at 08:12 PM
45. Why Tim, you have some amazing travel plans, I have no idea how you fit into all the creating around all your travel plans. I've picked up some of your stuff this week, the videos from two peas in a bucket have inspired me to try more fun stuff!
Posted by: Sheri K | July 02, 2009 at 08:46 PM
One day I hope to take a full class with you, but not yet. I'm crossing my fingers for something in the SC/GA/NC/VA area. Maybe next year.
Posted by: debby | July 02, 2009 at 09:51 PM
Glad I have my place booked on the cruise... because I don't see any trips anywhere near Ohio.... 98 days and counting until the cruise!!!
