sharing the magic…

hey bloggers!  well we’re wrapping up our week of giveaways with a fun post today.  sometimes, no matter how busy we are or how crazy life can get, you have to remember to take time for yourself – even if you don’t think there is time, you need to make time – just for you.  so this week i ran away with my friends for a couple of days.  yep, we hopped on a plane and headed to my favorite place in the world – the happiest place on earth!  i love disneyland so much, can’t explain it, but just being there recharges my creative soul in a way nothing else can.  the vision that walt disney had inspires me to follow my own dreams, that no ideas are too big or too crazy, and that imagination is the key to doing what most think is the impossible.  i try to escape to disneyland whenever i can and i know many of you have asked me to share a glimpse of what our disneyland experience is like.  so here you go, a quick video journal of our disneyland getaway!  walt disney was a true genius, sharing his vision and magic with the world…
how lucky are we??? enjoy…t!m

 WOW I am number 39 that is so good for me as living in the great Land
Down Under I usually get up in the morning and there are like nearly
200 entries so to be number 39 is like being first. Perhaps today will
be my lucky day. I agree with Sue if and when I win the Lotto I will be
on the first plane over to come and watch each and every one of your
demos live whereever you are presenting and to buy all the goodness
before it hits the Aussie shores!! I have had a life long dream to
visit Egypt but recently that has changed thanks to you Mr Holtz
because now all I want to do is visit America and see you in person do
your thing. You never cease to amaze me with your creativity and I find
myself saying now when I show friends and family how to use your
products “How cool is that?” Indeed that is way cool.
Take care

WOw! I go out for a couple hours and come back to find you posted without me! Now I’m number 657,433 !??!? What’s a girl to do now? Surely you are not going to read all nine ga-zillion of these messages, but if you happen to scroll down about 60 pages or so and find me; I’d love to play with some of the new stash!
Well, guess I’m gonna go hit something with this distress hammer and make something new into something “old” that always cheers me up __ until tomorrow ___ Sweet Dreams
T!m …maybe tomorrow will be my lucky day!!

Ok, I think 434 may be my lucky number…I will keep my fingers crossed. I LOVE getting presents in the mail, it is so fun isn’t it? Get to open and see all the new goodies. I have a few new goodies on the way myself that I ordered. Thank you for a great week Tim. I love reading your blog and seeing all the comments, watching the videos, making my shopping lists. Your such a good guy and so darn talented! Thanks for sharing your talent with us and letting us learn.

Tim,
I had to come check out the site. I work for one of the big craft stores… and was so excited to finally be carrying your ideologie line… and even more excited to find that we’ll be featuring your products coming this spring… I am an altered art artist and have been a big fan of your creations for quite some time… I like that your materials are “edgier” than most readily available supply. Funny… my boss is not a papercrafter but after seeing the ideologie stuff she said to me “Hmm… guess I’m going to have to learn a new hobby.” Thanks for the inspiration…
