well bloggers here it is saturday night and it's hard to believe i woke up early this morning, taught an all day workshop in payson, az. and here i am back at home to sleep in my own bed! what a way to wrap up the teaching year i must say. it was a wonderful day up in payson teaching for paper & metal scrappers which is the coolest store up there jam packed with so many different product lines and adorned in vintage goodness! our event was held close by the store tucked away in the pines with plenty of room for the students to create all day long. this was the final workshop for "artful curio" where students not only learned techniques on collage, assemblage, and distressing, but they were surrounded by enough vintage trinkets and ephemera to use all they could imagine! a sincere thank you to my wonderful students for sharing such an inspiring day today. also, thank you to the owners of paper & metal scrappers brenda & barb for their hospitality and tireless work to make this event happen...
so now i'm home for a couple of months - yes a couple of months! i'm so excited to just be creative in the studio and get a chance to work with my new vagabond machine! i've definitely been hearing the buzz from so many of you now that the vagabonds are shipping to your local stores and many of you have already gotten yours. i wanted to let those of you who have been emailing me asking where to buy one (since you don't have a local store to shop at) that scrapbook.com has them in stock right now - today! these things are going fast and hard to get your hands on so if you feel the urge to indulge your creative desires, you may just want to check them out. enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone - i sure will...t!m
Very cool class. Enjoy your time at home. Can't wait to see what you create! :)

Welcome home...
Enjoy your "crafty/creative" time in your studio. I am sure I'm going to enjoy the joys that will surface from your time there.
I want to "thank you" at this time of Thanksgiving for being so giving of your time and talent. I am very aware that the schedule that you and your team keep is exhausting. I for one, am extremely grateful!!
Enjoy Thanksgiving and your "down" time.

So I guess you call your vacation Tim Time? Will you be posting a list of supplies needed for tags this year in advance? Lots of chatter locally (thanks to my friend Chasity) about getting together to create!
Have a great vacation!
