hey bloggers! i'm back home for a while and i can't even begin to tell you how good it feels. as you know i've been crazy busy out on the road with very little time in my studio to be creative - oh how i've missed that. the good news is i'm here until cha-summer later next month (with just a little side trip to the carson stamp show in early july) but other than that i'm staying put! since i've been out of my creative space for so long, my most favorite thing to do to get inspired again is to reorganize. yep! i get asked that quite a bit "do i ever hit a creative block and what do i do to overcome it?"...i reorganize. so i spent the weekend since i've been home cleaning things up, moving things around, and unpacking a few new treasures for my studio...
the most exciting is my new work table - check it out! it's got vintage wooden spindle legs, 6 drawers all the way around it, and the coolest galvanized metal top, it's so me. then of course a few of my ebay finds arrived while i was gone including this little 8" typewriter, some vintage rulers, and can you believe more clocks? okay i have this thing for vintage alarm clocks. i posted photos of my wall in my studio covered in clocks and now i have a bunch of cool vintage alarm clocks lining my shelves. get this...these were all from one person on ebay! i think they are so cool, so eclectic, and so timeless (couldn't resist that one).
so here i sit this morning in my studio...excited to blog again, excited to create again. i'll even be working up some new videos on some cool products and techniques i've been wanting to share.
...and speaking of sharing things - be sure to stop by ranger's blog for a glimpse into ranger u, i think you'll enjoy it.
starting july 1st i'll be posting sneak peeks of my new products releasing at cha summer! can't wait to show you all of the cool new things i've been working on for ranger, idea-ology, sizzix, and stampers anonymous. for now, it's time to immerse myself back into creative bliss - more to share tomorrow....t!m
enjoy your time at home! :) see you next week!

Must be something in the air?! I'm re-organizing my studio and office, too. I needed to clear out the cobwebs before I started working. Every so often a revamp is needed, isn't it? Whew! Glad you're back to where you want to be, Mr. T!m.

I can't wait to see your sneak peeks. I've moved from Arizona to Chicago, so I'm thrilled to get another chance to visit with you and enjoy your demos. Enjoy your refreshed studio!

I love the new table what a great find. Wow! what an awesome studio. It's like shopping in an antique store. Can't wait for the new releases.

welcome home, and man oh man I love your collection of alarm clocks...I'm seriously surprised that many are still in existence. I remember my great uncle "blowing his up" the first Monday after he retired, with the help of a few well placed M80's in the orange grove! Man, I miss him! Thanks for the memory...♥
