Here are all the banners for the contest.
Today was the day! Christa and me (on the left) went to Ede to Joan Gevaert's shop for a Meet&Greet with Tim Holtz and Mario!
It was fantastic. Joan has a wonderful shop. We came early so we had enough time to look around and decide which stuff to buy. Then suddenly it was three o'clock and there came the car with Tim, Mario and some other guy from Ranger (unfortunately I didn't catch his name). The first group waited in the workshop room for their M&G and after an hour our group went to the workshop room. We all sat at tables and Tim went to each table for signing and photo's. He really took the time at each table to talk to people and allowed everybody to take pictures. I didn't get the book but I did get a new Tim-stamp and it has his signature all over it now! And off course we got our picture with Tim!
Al met al een heerlijke dag en we hebben veel mensen gesproken, gezichten bij namen die ik al eens op blogs (mijne en anderen) ben tegengekomen. Iedereen was in opperbeste stemming. Er was ruimte genoeg om te genieten van al het moois in Joan's winkel en Tim had ruimte genoeg om zich goed te laten zien! "Ja, hij is het echt, Tim is in da house!"
Off course Mario was there too and he was also willing to pose for a picture! I thanked him for the great gift package he sent me after I won one of the prizes with the Twelve Tags. It was filled with all kinds of things I did not have. I let my appreciation known for all the work he does on Twitter, posting all those photo's.
All in all a great day en we talked to a lot of people. Now I have some faces to go with names I encountered on blogs (mine and others). Everyone was excited. There was enough room to enjoy all the beautiful things in Joan's shop and Tim had space enough to let everyone take a good look at him. "Yes, he is real, Tim has entered the building!"

So, who won the banner contest???
Glad you had the opportunity to meet Tim and the backbone of his organization (Mario)!
Are you going to get an opportunity to take any classes with Tim while he is there?

What a fabulous day you must have had! I was lucky to win some stamps from Joan and I sent her a thank you card this week...hope she received it.
Linda- So happy for you that you got to meet Tim and Mario in person. They are both so gracious about having photos taken with them and doing autographs on items. I have the new book on order and can't wait until it comes!
