In A Word...FABULOUS...

Hi folks...there is only one word to describe my trip to Coventry to attend the Tim Holtz UK event....

FABULOUS...FABULOUS...FABULOUS

I know that's 3 words but hey you could use every descriptive adjective in the dictionary and you wouldn't come close to describing how fabulous it was. I've got zillions of photos but I won't bore you with them all...time to grab a cuppa and a comfy sofa for what can best be described as a great big Tim Holtz love fest. And what a great start to the day when I met my lovely buddy Olive and her hubby George on the flight from Aberdeen....Olive has a craft store in Spain...has been back in Aberdeen over the summer and has attended some of my workshops at The Papeterie...what a hoop-de-doo surprise when we realised we were both heading for a fun day with Tim at the Windmill Village Hotel...

 a beautiful venue with great views...

 and little did I know when I took this shot....my bedroom was the one far left...

and super luxurious it was too...crikey I felt a little bit lost in the huge ever so comfy bed...

we had a yummy lunch with lots of eager beaver crafty folks all whipped up into a Tim Holtz frenzy of "could hardly contain our excitement" and it was so special to finally meet up with my fellow Scots and lovely bloggy buddies/Tim Holtz groupies...Rita and her daughter Annie...

before we all headed off for a fun afternoon of playtime Tim Holtz style...

and a "can't wait to delve in" class kit...

 with oodles of gorgeous bits and pieces to whet our crafty appetites...

 and don't you just love the look of concentration on these gorgeous faces...

Tim's workshops are fast paced...he's so passionate about sharing as much inspiration as he can in the time allowed but you're guaranteed when he's in the room...there's also going to be lots of fooling around...practising his hokey cokey moves perhaps...

and look away now if you're of a nervous disposition...a chance for this wrinkly old crafter to have a snuggle with the sweetest guy on the planet...my favourite BTS Man and Kitter Extraordinaire...the gorgeous Mario...check out the mega inky hands and guess who forgot her scrubbie...

 love this photo of Mario & Rita...

Rita and Annie with the fabulous Jane from Personal Impressions and woohoo...I think Annie is rather happy with what she's made so far...

And an extra special treat for me...finally I got to meet up with my Craftwork Cards teamie...the lovely and mega talented...Emma...

I have loads more pictures of bloggy buddies on my tablet but this technology challenged crafter has no idea how to transfer them on here and I'm not sure if this will work either...but click on the link for the whoopy-de-doo mad video I took of the woohoo muchly excited happy and very noisy crafty folks when the goodie bags were handed out...no one does GOODIE BAGS like Tim and Ranger...mega mega hugely generous...class fee back over and over again generous.

I know I'm teasing you but Mr Blogger is having a "how many photos are you intending to upload" little tantrum so you'll have to come back tomorrow to see what we made and the reason for all that muchly excited wild whooping...
