sharing the fun…

Cha
they say good things come to those who wait… but i also say that good things come to those who comment and now  won't have to wait!  that's because mario collected a whole bunch of new stuff from cha including my new seasonal papers from idea-ology, sets of new distress stickles from ranger, and my 100th stamp collection set from stampers anonymous!

so…we'll be sending out something from that assortment to the following 20 people – just for leaving a comment on the blog yesterday.  i've said it once and i'll say it again, you simply never know when goodness can come your way from taking the time to post a comment – i like to blog with you and i like to hear back from you – simple huh?  so congrats to the following winners.  please email me your address and we'll get your package right out.  enjoy today…t!m

I love the new shadow box thingys… Can't wait to get my hands on one.

IF I HAVE to choose…your paper…I waited so patiently for it last time around and when I got it, I was NOT let down…now just wondering how soon we can see it in stores………

Wow, Tim! Thanks so much for sharing CHA with us…especially as most of us can't get there…VERY FUN! I LOVE how you decorate your booths…so "distressed"…so you…so cool! 🙂 My favorite product is probably the Vagabond, although right now I am anticipating all of it like Christmas! VERY FUN! (Did I say that already!?!) AND thank YOU!…your dream is inspiration for my dream, and many others too, I am sure! 🙂

That is hard, what's not to love? To pick a favorite, hmmm I guess I would go with the new border dies, but I also love all of the ideology line…Nope, I have to say I LOVE IT ALL!!!

Thanks for letting me live a sneak peak thru what you see… a.k.a. – be a fly on the wall!
I can't wait to get my hands on the holiday paper, I'm hoping it will be out in time to be able to use it for this season.
Of course I'm "jonesen" for the new Vagabond…you would have to be dead to not want it.
Looking forward to playing with the master with the curio boxes on the 29th, see ya then. ~Jill

Hi Tim. Wow, your booth was decorated so beautiful. I wish I could have been there to see that!! You had me teary eyed at the end of your video. You are the one that made your dreams come true. I'm so proud of you!! 🙂 The list is too long of the things I am excited about coming out, but I am very excited about all the new dies and the Halloween and Christmas collections. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. Have a great week. Take care, Jenny L 🙂

Loved the ribbons and twin. Can't wait to try out the Vagabond machine. Love the sizzix dies and the stamps!

I was really impressed with all the samples in the Advantus, Ranger and Sizzix booths. I was especially drawn to the altered birdhouses. Just spectacular.

The new baubles and Sizzix dies are always nice. But they cannot compare with the Vagabond…by far your best new product. So, when are you coming to Hawaii?

stamps, stamps, stamps, always the stamps…

Thanks for the video…My favorite of the new release stuff is definitely the Bigz tag die…plus a couple of the stamp sets (post card headers, mni holidays, odds & ends…), plus the masks are neat…lots of fun stuff!
Posted by: Diana J. | August 02, 2010 at 08:32 PM

Where do I start? I like the gears, birdcage, and deer and sizzix in general. I like the leaf stamps and some of the others as well. Can hardly wait to see what is next!

What a great video tour. It would be hard to choose a favorite but I love the typewriter you had in your display. I just had to comment on that as I have a love for the old typewriters. I think the new curios and also the trims you are introducing. What can I say – love them all.
Posted by: Judith | August 02, 2010 at 11:45 PM

Ok…here are the things I love, love, love from the video: the stamps (as a 20 year + stamper how could I not?; the stickles (I live for Stickles!); the die cuts; the VAGABOND…OMG it's delicious!; the chandelier and the file drawers in the video; the guy holding the VAGABOND…what an expressive face!; AND…..the highlights in your hair- 🙂 It's all good!
Posted by: Maggie | August 03, 2010 at 12:37 AM

Love the new dies and the new stamps. I can't wait to purchase some of these new products – there goes the budget!
Posted by: Colleen C. | August 03, 2010 at 07:43 AM

Great video!! I was at CHA and in your Ranger workshop. It was a blast!! I absolutely love all of the new products!! It's a tough choice but I think the Advantus Booth was my favorite. Can't wait to get my hands on the Configurations and new holiday paper pack. I found some amazing treasures this weekend while at some garage sales that will be perfect for a configurations project!!
I am once again inspired! Thanks for sharing your creativity!!
