A WORKSHOP WITH THE MASTER

This morning I excitedly travelled to near Coventry, about 10 miles from our first holiday stop over, for a class with the Duke of Distress himself, the one and only TIM HOLTZ.
The class room was lovely and to my enormous surprise there was a shop of goodies run by my local craft shop back home, Inspirations. I had to buy a couple of things - well it would have been rude not to.....
The teaching began and as our hands became more and more inky so our projects began to take shape.
I still have to complete my tag book but as I'm away til October I think I may be ok.
Once the workshop had finished we were told of the items we could take home. This is what I got apart from a distress pad, a stain and a paint which I gave to the girls either side of me
On our way in we could buy raffle tickets so being all for a good cause I bought a strip which included this one
The ticket won - WOWEEEE! And I got this
The thing is though ---- this was inside
I don't need to tell you how utterly happy I am even though I blabbed like a baby.
Thank you so much Tim and all your helpers. A truly remarkable morning.

Your post makes me happy... jealous a bit... and happy! Congrats. I live here in Arizona (with Tim?!), yet I've not had the pleasure of participating in a class taught by Tim. I did, however, get to meet him at a local craft event. I can't hardly wait for CC 102 to start. I'll look forward to seeing more from you there!
