{TONIGHT} Booking opens

How excited are we all today?? Did you sleep??? 8.00pm tonight booking commences for your opportunity to spend a fabulous 4 hours of creative time with the master himself, Tim Holtz and a unique 2 hour class with Lin and Leandra - altogether you are in for a 6 hour altered arts blast!

Never before has he taught such a loooooong class in the UK, and usually when he comes over here, his schedule only allows for demos, or if you are a retailer you might get the chance to do a product-promo class or watch a demo at a trade event. 

We want more than this! We want you guys to have the real deal! We wanted a chance to do the amazing 'Tim' classes we see him teach at those wonderful USA events. For the UK crafter, we wanted you to experience a unique, hands on experience with Tim to guide, encourage and entertain you in his inimitable style in a superb master-class using his products, ideas and techniques to make a gob-smacking project. This isn't just about showing you what is new, this is showing you what you can do with your own hands!

Over the last 7 years, I have attended or exhibited at many of the same international events that Ranger does. I have often watched, helped and participated in many of Tim's classes here in the UK, even as far away as Australia, Holland, France and the USA. There is no doubt, Tim is a fantastic teacher: no request is too much bother, every question is important, he willingly shares loads of ideas, tips and tricks with all his products, and you ooze through class enjoying every single second of the experience. 

I hope you can join us all for one of the ArtsyCrafts sessions next February. It will be utterly fantastic. Fact.

Click here at 8pm tonight to book you place. (squeals)

sorry was meant to say team xxx

Kaz - how did you know you definitely got them? If your order went through does that mean you got your tickets? Or is there a particular stage when we find out for sure - the magic third email that says 'order complete'? If my money left my PayPal account then is that good? I daren't get excited just in case!!

Kaz Hall said...

Hi Humel

Erm.......not sure now but am gonna keep everthing crossed just been reading the blog post to see and yes you are right looks like you need that third e-mail confirmation, Ah well if it all goes pear shaped I will just have to stalk him instead lolxxgood luck x

humel said...

Good luck Kaz - I hope you get there - just as long as I get there too!! ;-)

Kaz Hall said...

got everything crossed....literally, what day did you book ???

humel said...

Friday 10.30am. Friday best for childcare, 10.30am best for getting there from north west! (Though frankly I'd drive through the night and dump the kids on someone's doorstep if necessary....!) I saw that all sessions are now out of stock - omigosh, I hope I was in time!! The site kept freezing and I was all fingers and thumbs!!

Which session did you go for? x

Kaz Hall said...

Hi Humel

Went for the thurs at 8am!!! but like you say i would drive all night to be in the same airspace as lord holtz!! OMG cannot beleive how quick they have sold out!! the suspense is killing me !!

humel said...

lol! What worries me most is the bit that says it could take a few days or even a WEEK - how am I supposed to eat, sleep, work, look after kids, function, live, BREATHE until I know for sure??!!

Thurs 8am seemed to sell out last, so you must have a good chance xx

Kaz Hall said...

Got everything crossed xx A FEW DAYS, WEEKS OMG my hubby is going to be living with a demented woman with serious tim holtz obsession, PMT will look mild compared to this agony!!lol!!

humel said...

I'm not sure how I'm going to go to sleep tonight lol! I'm really hoping that's just a maximum and they'll be able to confirm places much sooner than that....

Hi from the U.S! I just bought a Thursday morning ticket, moving to Germany in October. Gotta move to Europe to take the coveted Tim Holtz class. It looks fabulous! My friend was about to buy hers, after looking at air fare, and it's all sold out.

Any chance on a ticket opening up?
Meet you ladies in February! =)

humel said...

Kaz - got my confirmation so I'm certain you'll be OK too :-) Now I can start celebrating, I didn't dare do so before!!! THANK YOU PAPERARTSY!! THANK YOU TIM!! xxx

Kaz Hall said...

humel said...

Woo hoo Kaz! So pleased for you :-) I didn't see the order notes box either so I put a note with my Paypal payment and kept my fingers crossed that it wouldn't be a problem - and it clearly wasn't!! I've had the biggest grin on my face all day :-) Have a fabby time xx

Hi Leandra - thank you so much to you, Lin and all the team, working so hard on our behalves to get things through, and also for getting the Lord Tim to come over here in the first place for this - it is such a achievement.

I am so excited that I managed to get a place on the second session for the Thursday. You have no idea how worried I was that when I got to put my delivery details in, and the whole thing had to recycle, that I would not get a ticket - but it came through in the end.

Thank you all.
Hugs
Valxx
