well bloggers we're still going and going over here in the uk. we've loaded and un-loaded this car too many times to count throughout our travels and as you can see, i don't pack light! i'm happy to say we've survived another tsv on qvc-uk. if you have no idea what i'm talking about, a tsv stands for (today's special value) which means it's big deal on qvc-uk and for the second year i was asked to create a kit for it. this also means that you are basically at qvc for 24 hours straight since you have to go on air just about every hour - it's incredibly exciting but extremely exhausting... it was also exciting for the uk launch of the vagabond machine with sizzix. it sold out so fast i was simply blown away! my sincere thanks to dawn bibby, craft expert on qvc-uk and her team for all of the great samples they created for so many of the kits that were shared yesterday during craft day on qvc-uk. a huge thanks to jayne from personal impressions for staying with us every waking hour of the day to make sure everything went perfectly and of course provide unlimited laughter! thanks also to alain and mario for all of their help, running around, and starbucks runs (i definitely couldn't have survived without them).... and of course thanks to all of you who watched and joined in the fun on qvc-uk!
i know many of you have emailed me about the tsv kit we had on air, and yes that micro mini clear stamp set was exclusive to the tsv kit so unless you live in the uk, or know someone who does, it was the only way to buy it - that's what made it so exciting! however... we wanted you to know that we appreciate all of the kind words from everyone back in the US (as you've joined in on the adventures by following mario's BTS-behind the scenes tweets) - that we've managed to get our hands on a few extra of those exclusive stamp sets to give away on the blog! all you have to do is post a comment on the blog, and we'll pick some winners when we're back in the studio on monday...
now we're off to get everything set up for the artsy-crafts event that starts tomorrow - it's going to be an exciting time for all 288 students i can assure you. until next time, here are some photos to share with you - enjoy...t!m
Sounds fun&exhausting otherwise know as work? play? maybe both... sounds like my kind of a job! I wuld love to win - happy to read about it all and see all the great projects!

Can we please get some Tim kits in the US?! Love your products. Spent a bit of time embossing pepsi cans with your folders. Now just need to alcohol ink them up.

Sounds like an exhausting and energizing trip. Loads of excitement. VERY jealous of those UK folks who could get that kit!!!

I have to say I bought the TSV just for the stamps, lol.... thoughthe rest of the kit looks fantastic too. I can't wait to get hold of it, lol. Enjoy the Artsycraft events, I badly regret not having been able to sign up for them but know you - and all the students - will have an absolute ball.
