Some exciting news to share

Let me start this post by saying I am NOT announcing the arrival of Tim Holtz

Tim Holtz is not coming to us

but I

am going to see him

I am so excited to announce

I have been selected to go to Ranger U

Ranger U is an intense workshop taught at Ranger Headquarters.

I will learn all about the products that Ranger sells,
get a tour of the factory and see how they make everything.
(I am definitely a geek who loves to see behind the scenes)

I get to spend time with some very talented designers in the industry
and get to hang out with Mario!

I am beyond excited!
thrilled and honored to be chosen

They get an overwhelming number of talented people applying from all over the WORLD and accept so very few people.

and I was selected,

It's a BIG DEAL


I got an email from Tim Holtz himself on Sunday night and I squealed with excitement.

Me, going to Ranger U. . . . . What an incredible opportunity

It has been hard to keep the secret



I will be learning some awesome techniques

from the Master of Distress Tim Holtz

Learning Painty Goodness from Claudine Hellmuth

and getting Whacky with Dyan Reaveley

I am just brimming with excitement.


I will be sharing my experience and knowledge with you over the next few months
as we do even more make n takes, classes and demos based on what I learn
and who knows, maybe I can persuade Tim to visit South Florida.

Going to Ranger U is one of the items on my Bucket List that I can almost cross off.

Squeal, they picked me!!
