once for a next day air package delivery...
then to bring 3 boxes by ground...
Later the man in the brown truck brought another dose of ART SUPPLIES...
4 more BIG boxes...
But Mario wins the box contest...
Look @ THIS...
Which could explain why Mario parks his car OUTSIDE the garage these days...
YIKES!!
That's a LOT of cruise stuff...
and there's MORE coming!
Now if you look closely @ the next photo...
you'll see my name on this pallette of GOODS...
Just a little peek for our cruisers...
Hey a peek is better than nothing...
that's the best I can do...
Lucky for us...that pallette is in Arizona...
so both vehicles are in the garage here...
for today @ least!
next...
When I LIKE something...
I REALLY like it & NEVER want to run out...
I LOVE these Maya Road trinket pins...
and I think there's enough here for a while...
since each pack contains 50!
And if you want/NEED the Maya Road leaf, vintage pearl, NEW BLACK PEARL, or NEW pink FLOWER trinket pins... I can be an enabler...
Now this is crazy...
I ordered 40 packages of tim's new film strip ribbon...
I LOVE IT!...
However...
my little mind thought there was 3 feet in each container...
BUT...
upon further inspection...
there's 108 inches...
So I'm happy to report that...
I am now the proud owner of 120 YARDS of film strip ribbon...
YIKES...
well...
that's NOT exactly what Rick said...ha!
I could wrap this whole house & make it look like a giant present.
and how sweet of tim to design the little tin to fit my stamp...
what a GUY!!!
well...maybe that wasn't actually his plan...
but that adorable tin sure is a PERFECT fit!
40 packages of film strip ribbon???
What was I thinking???
Want some? I got PLENTY to share!
Leave a comment...
That's all it takes to be entered for a chance to win some film strip ribbon...
I'll be back Monday morning @ 7am...so get your comment in before then.
If you don't win...it will be in stock here soon!
I need to cut some of that ribbon for this Saturday's workshop @ Prairie Art Stamps, in Springfield Illinois...
We gotta have it to...
make art!

how much film strip !!!!!! enough to stretch from the States to the UK now I am laughing, bet your looking forward to the cruise now, wish us ladies in the UK were joining you xx
Wow, that is a lot of filmstrip ribbon! Enjoy the cruise....I've never been on a cruise, but I've gone to CKU, and it's SO stinking much fun!
Kathy
OK ... first thought ... saw all those boxes and thought you had gotten my birthday pressie early :0) ... I am slightly disappointed it aint for me ... but I am a big girl ... I will cope!
Second thought ... I neeeeeeeed some film strip and I want some ... so does that make me the winner?????
Third thought ... I would actually just be happy with some empty tins ... so if I don't win ... wrap your house up hun so I can recognise it in order to dig through your trash!
Have a fabulous weekend ... I am gonna miss you X
Ya know Wendy, I don't live too far away that I couldn't come over and ya know, help you sort thru the goodies! Looks like fun!! I wish I was going on the cruise!!!
I'm making art the Studio 490 way! Got my book, thanks so much, and I have first order of stamps. I've made 2 wall hangings so far and am hooked on grnge roses. Won't tell you haw many of those I've made. Yes, that many! Think I need some film strip ribbon now. Have a great cruise, I'm soooo jealous. diana
Wendy I have been waiting for that film strip ribbon to come in at my scrapbook store. Sue
LOL Oh my...did you have to show that? I am distracted by all the little tins...I have a thing for little tins, key holes, and keys (just like you and your flowers)
I'd love to play with you in your Studio I'm sure anything one could think of MUST be in there! LOL
I recently found out about Tim...would love to win something of his.
That is a lot of ribbon. think my husband would throw a fit if I had that much.
If you put "only" before 120 feet (I only have 120 feet of film strip) it won't sound as if you have as much!
I'm totally inspired - I want to try weaving it. I weave paper and ribbon, so why not film strip?
Of course, if it was sitting on my desk I'd totally lack inspiration!
Have a wonderful time on the cruise.
Oh my WORD look at all that goodness, hehe!! Would love the chance to win some of that FAB ribbon, and thanks!!
Love it!!! When a girl likes something she might as well stock up. It will save you from having to search ebay for something that you ran out of and just have to have to complete a project!
oh wow - film strip ribbon. That sounds like such a cool product! I can't wait to get my hands on some.
OMG! Wendy, you are a trip! Leave it to you to have sooooooo much of the things you love. :-)
Ok, that's alot of film strip ribbon, but the container is WAY cool!!! I can't park my car in our garage either, but I don't have your guy's excuse. I love the trinket pins too!! already had to invest in some of the black pearl ones!!
I would love to have some film strip ribbon! or a tin, too! Thanks for giving us a chance at this! I'll be watching to see when it is available...I really need this ribbon....wanna make more art!
Aprile
That's a lot of ribbon! Love all the inspiration on here...thanks for the chance at the giveaway.
What can I say? I admire enthusiasm!!! (Did you know that this word derives from the Latin and means something like "with God" or "in God"...essentially when we are in the midst of our enthusiasms...then we are truly hanging out with God!...although I'm not sure even He understands why anyone would need 120 yards of film strip!...) But hey, I'm willing to help...hope I win some of this cool stuff.
I would be glad to take some of that ribbon off of your hands...then I wouldn't have to buy any on the cruise and would have room (and money) to buy something else!!
Wow that is a lot of film strip ribbon !!!I would love to hane only one!!!!! Thanks for your generous offer
Fingers crossed
Hilda
Well since I haven't been able to find it in stock yet anywhere, I'd love to share some of yours. :)
Eileen in NYC
Wow, what a stash of filmstrip!!! I've got to find some of those Maya Road pins too!!
Well, if you were a little bit closer, you know I would come over and help cut! LOL!!
I LOVE MR's pins!! "Need" to get the new ones ;0P
Have a great Thursday!! xo
OH MY...you make me laugh in such a happy way! I am so glad I am not the only one who makes litle mistakes like this...you should see how much rice I thought was needed to feed four people!...we needed a really big bowl!
take care!
Cori in Kitchener, Ontario
Here's hoping for a big win! Didn't realize the ribbon came in a tin, BONUS! Yes, those trinket pins are quite lovely!
Delivery men...love 'em, love 'em, love 'em! What an awesome stack of goodies just waiting for some lucky bodies to create something new and fun! I'd like to be a part of that bunch!
Wendy, I would so love to win some of that filmstrip ribbon!! :)
Would love to have some filmstrip ribbon. Thanks for the sneak peak for us cruisers - the anticipation is mounting! Got our packet of cruise info yesterday - boy you and Tim sure are keeping us in the dark about our classes!
Gee, I can't fit my cars in my garage either, but I wish it was because of the boxes of craft goodies and not just junk!! Love those Maya Road pins and Tim's film strip ribbon. I'd gladly take some off your hands!!
Okay I have to get some just so then I have to buy a new stamp set so I can do the cover of the tin. . .
It is funny how buy things because we want to have enough to play with and end up with more then we thought. . I think we have all been there.
Okay; I stopped making grunge flowers and getting my new stamps all inky to check my email, etc. and what do I find? That you have ALL of the ribbon that I have been coveting since CHA! Please Wendy, let this inally be the time that I win. Please,please,please...
I'm so lovin the fact that you are turning your "flopportunity" into my opportunity!!
I'm still so jealous of your upcoming cruise, I can't even imagine the joy in that adventure!!
Good Luck with your prep for the weekend...
~Jill
oh I would love some film strip I am on back order and a waiting list just for it. thanks for blog candy.
I could definatly use & would really like some of that film strip...thanks for giving us the chance to win some
Hi Wendy -
Don't you just love it when Mr. FedEx and Mr. UPS come calling? It sure makes my day, always leaves a girl feeling special - LOL! I have several of the Maya Trinket Pins and I adore them, they are just so darn pretty. I think I could fall in love with Tim's ribbon also, so I understand your need for it. After all, a girl can never have enough of a good thing!
Elaine Allen
you crack me up - so funny! I love your work and I appreciate the chance to win some film strip ribbon!!
Now film strip ribbon - that'd come in so useful!! Can I ask how big the boat is??? Just finished watching Titanic and looking at all those boxes....!!! Hope you have a great t!me.
I should have never read the other comments that have been left for you. Now I'm feeling guilty for asking to be entered in the chance to get some of that film strip tape. NOT!!!!
Thought you were the only one that could tease? *hee hee*
I don't even want to count how many days are left before we cruise. I can tell you I'm getting excited though *smiles*
Wow Wendy! - that sure IS a lot of ribbon and I would love to get my hands on some!
WOW check out all the boxes !!!! its like santas store room hehehehe and how much films trip hehehehe id love to give some a new home xxxx
So wish I was joining the cruise...you are making me all excited and I won't even get to play with all that goodness....have a great time...
Wow! Those are a lot of boxes. I would be happy to take some of the film strip ribbon off of your hands. Have a great time this weekend. I am going to the Bears game on Sunday. Hopefully they will win this time!!!!

Wow girl you could swim in ribbon! ;)
ajcmeyer at go dto com
I needa the Film Strip Ribbon as I very slowly get back to Stamping after major back surgery this summer.
Boo Hoo I can't go on the Cruise either.
I know you will all have lots of fun--We sure did last year.
Hugs
Earlene

OMGosh! That's a lot of film strip ribbon lol. I love the little tins it comes in too. Thanks for the chance :)
I LOVE Tim Holtz! I would love the chance to win some of his film, love the tin too!! Thanks for the chance!
oh my, so many boxes, looks like my place right now, sadly no film strip as it isn't over here yet :(
Can;t wait to see it..
Thanks for the opportuity to win some..
Have a great weekend
I would LOVE to win some of that filmstrip ribbon. But if not, at least I'll be getting some this Saturday in Springfield. See you there!
I think I could find something to do with the film ribbon - if you insist! Love your blog, hope you have a great time on the cruise - wish I could be there with you..
LOL! This post cracks me up. Wrap your house like a big present. hee hee.... and yes, YOU ARE AN ENABLER!!! Thanks for the chance to win!
mmmmmmm film ribbon! mmmmmmm Tim Holtz everything! mmmmmm Wendy Vecchi everything!
Just yummy, you're making me drool!
I hope you have an amazing cruise too :)
bet you dream of film ribbon :)
One can always use film strip ribbon, right?? And since you're teasing us cruisers so terribly, I feel it is my duty to leave a comment.. maybe I'll even win! But if I don't, I'll always have Mexico!
Let me help you by taking some of that off your hands!
can't wait to find Tim's ribbon in the stores. Lucky you!
If you need any help opening those boxes, just LMK!I cant wait to get my hands on the Film Strip Ribbon!
Wow - I should show this to my husband to put my little deliveries and meager collection of supplies in perspective! Thanks for sharing some of your goodies with us.
Wendy, you poor thing! Let me lighten your load and take some of that film strip ribbon off you hands. I promise I will put it to good use!
MichelleB
OMG you are so funny! That poor garage and the women who have to WAIT...cuz for stampers, waiting is a very hard thing to do!
I want to see your house wrapped in film strip ribbon!! LOL
I LOVE that filmstrip ribbon! I have been like a stalker at my LSS waiting for it. From the moment I saw it on your blog (you used it on a scroll shape with grunge flowers)I was sold! Thanks for a chance to win some!!
WV - I bet you always double and triple recipes too!!! Looks like you have enough ribbon to feed even my appetite....can't wait to get it at Friend'z...perhaps you can share a little....
Love ya.
Linda B
Hiya, I could really use some of that film strip you are offering. Here in the UK it can be a struggle to get Tim's stuff. And I am a guy who is really into the ranger line and Tim's demo's are fantastic. Today, I made a couple of tags using Tim's DVD as a guide. Not quite but almost as good as attending a class. I first saw your blog via an article in craft stamper mag here in the uk. Inspiring me to do some art everyday! Have fun on the cruise, would love to be there but maybe next year, or the year after.... Perhaps some ribbon will help ease the pain of being left behind!!!!??
And then a dinky little tin just ready for my alcohol inks!
Film strip party at Wendy's house! It looks like a ton of fun to use, can't wait to see/use it.
Thanks Wendy!
How funny that you got so much fun ribbon. That is something I would do.
wow....lotsa boxes and lotsa goodies.
I'd love to play with some of that ribbon.
Thanks for a chance to win!
That's the kind of thing I'd do!! Hope I win, then I could be the first person in the UK to have Tim's filmstrip ribbon ;)
woswser .... thanks a lot of film strip ribbon .... looks like the cruisers are going to be real busy with all those boxes ... what fun they're going to have. I've been looking for the Maya Road pins but haven't been successful so far but I'm still looking.
Maybe I should direct this comment to Mario or Tim, but you mean you are supposed to park cars in garages? Hmmmm, what a novel concept! lol
Filmstrip ribbon looks sooooo cool...Winning some would be awesome!
Have fun this weekend!
See you in 24 days!
Linda H.
Wow, all those boxes...I can come over and help you move them...promise I won't rifle thru them looking for stash...honest! As for the film strip...that is the most amazing amount you have got yourself...you could say...."it's a wrap"...or .. "it's in the can" And, of course, I just so happen to have a small, film strip shaped gap in my ribbon drawer so will be more than happy to look after some for you.. then when you come to play in the UK you will have some here waiting for you ROFL!!
Have a fabby weekend Wendy...big hugs x
WOw, and my husband thinks I have a lot of stuff :)
I would love to win some of the ribbon but I would also love the tin too !
Oh Wendy...I soooo want some of the film strip ribbon!!! I hope I win. I think I need some of those Maya Road trinket pins too. You are an enabler, aren't you? I'm so glad you are!!! Hisses, Rockin Robin
Hi Wendy,
I think I've got to win some of that ribbon just so I can see what it looks like ;-) I'm SURE it was part of Tim's plan that peeps could use the tin to store your stamp once they'd used the ribbon up :)
Anne (UK) x
I would sooo Love some Film Strip Ribbon!!!
Thanks for this opportunity to win.
Have you never heard "A little bit of a good thing goes a long ways"? Well you have ALOT of a GREAT thing. Loved using it on your grunge hanging in last weekends class. Took my art to work and everyone loved it and wanted ot know where to get the stuff to make one. Have fun on the cruise.
Wow, great ribbon. Thanks.
Wow!!! I would be happy to take some of that ribbon off your hands!! Just pick me:)
Thanks for the chance to win such cool stuff!
I'd love to have some film strip ribbon to play with! And I'd love to dig into all those wrapped up boxes!
Oh I love the Tim film strip ribbon. Wished I just had one of them. I would love to just pet all the boxes there. Wished I was going on the cruise with all of you.
how sweet- you shop like i do-- can be good or bad
I would love a chance to use some of the film strip ribbon! Thanks Wendy for the chance.
This would be perfect for a baby album I'm doing.
Wow, that is a lot of filmstrip ribbon! I would love to win one...Enjoy the cruise....
Share...please share! You could bring them to me next Saturday! Can't wait to get your John Hancock on my book!
That IS a lot of ribbon!!! And I would totally love to take some off your hands :-)) Thanks for the chance!! BTW, in your book you mention buying the Ideology snaps by the 100s.... how do you get packs that big?
holy cow! I can't believe how many people are trying to get some of your ribbon!! The good news is that you have plenty:D
Wowzers! Boxes! Love the ribbon, definitely can use some of that!
I'm really wondering how big the empty suitcase will need to be to bring all my stuff home from the cruise? This look absolutely crazy....can't wait!g
(You give new meanin to the word sneak peek with our taped up pallet...lol!)
Oh, Wendy, I sure could use some filmstrip. It is the coolest stuff and you can't find it anywhere! Please, please, oh please, pick me!! :)
Cool stuff ... those Maya Road trinket pins....Tim's film strip ribbon. Love it all
i just love it when the packaging is as much fun as the product. That film strip tin has so many possibilities.
You always have the most interesting goodies. I have coveted that filmstrip ribbon since first site, so glad you are offering to share. Feel free to tuck some of those cute trinket pins too. Thanks, ms.cheryl
How funny, but I bet you will use it! That tin is sure cute for your stamp - how perfect. Thanks for the opportunity for a giveaway.
Susan
Okay, Wendy, fess up! Is the reason for the current unavailability of the ribbon because you bought the entire stock? lol Wish I were going on the cruise to help use it up.
Betty
I have so enjoyed your blog. I love the film strip ribbon. I have not been able to find any. I know why now. It is all at your house. I would so love to have some. You are a very talented lady and I am sure you would do a great job wrapping your house in film strip tape and it would look beautiful.
I'm intrigued by the film strip ribbon. I have not seen it "in person." Looks like a lot of fun getting ready for the cruise.
I can't wait to play with Tim's new film strip ribbon....will we be using any of it in mexico? See you in less that a month...
man oh man!!!! that sure is a bunch of ribbon...not to mention a lot of tins just screaming to be altered.......I love ribbon but I am drooling over the tins right now......ok I am drooling about the ribbon too..
love checking out this inspirational place...
have fun on the cruise....
Ribbon? Wow... filmstrip ribbon along with your new book (which when it arrived on Wednesday got read and re-read, so no dinner!)would lead to a whole new set of ideas!
I plan to order some film strip ribbon too, but not that much!!! Enjoy your cruise.
Wendy you are too cute! I am glad you are having so much fun - Every one deserves to have fun!
I had to giggle - one of my favorite expressions is YIKES! So when I saw it in print on your blog it made me smile.
Enjoy!
Sandra
Yeah! Wendy! I would love to take some of that filmstrip tape off of your hands! All you have to do is pick me!!! Thanks Wendy!
Dawn in MB SC
Wow! That's a lot of filmstrip! I thought I was bad at over buying! My LSS don't carry it, I would love a chance to win some! Thanks Wendy!
WOW!!! That's a lot of boxes-what a job it must be to deal with all of them. At least they're full of good things :)
What a nice surprise about the film strip ribbon - not just that it fits your stamp, but also the quantity inside. I can't wait to pick some up to play with.
Wow, that is a whole lotta ribbon....I hope you pick me, I love getting packages in the mail!!!!!
How did you get 40 packs!!!! I'm searching the web for weeks now just to get one (LOL)!!! :D
That's a lot of film strip ribbon! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
Oh boy!!! More Tim products!!! I would love the chance to win some filmstrip ribbon.
Guess this is kind of like Marshall's then? Your mistake is our shoportunity! You're so generous with us!
Jeanne
got your book, so excited! Love the film strips.
Hey, Wendy!
I'd be happy to lighten your load of the excess film strip! Ha!!!
You're a funny gal!!
Keep up the great blog!
Cecile
I want film strip ribbon, I want film strip ribbon!!! Pick me, K?
Holy Cow! Now I know why I can't find any filmstrip, you have it all!
Can't wait to get my hands on some.
I would love to get a package of some filmstrip. Your oversight is our gain I guess. At least someone's gain. Thanks for sharing!
Aloha, Kate
OOOOOOh, what fun! I'd love to win some!
Wow! That is a LOT of boxes and a LOT of ribbon. I would love to win some.
Oh I'm so curious about that filmstrip! Is it as cool as it sounds? Would love a roll!
Boy oh boy, would I love to be the first on my block to get that cool film strip~ and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the tin it comes in... and your stamp looks perfect on the top of it!
How funny count me in!
Carla
cpullum(at)yahoo(dot)com
LOVE IT!! I can't wait to check out some of that ribbon up close and personal. And I think I am gonna have to find myself a package or 2 of those Maya Road pins too. Thanks for beong such a wonderful "enabler"...LOL!!
What a sweet pal you are to share a little of your extras! Thanks for thinking of all of us!
Ooo-la-la, that much, eh? Wendy, you crack me up! Every girl knows there is no such thing as TOO MUCH RIBBON! But hey, if you really want to unload some, send it my way, I won't mind one little bit. My cats told me to tell you to send them some too. Yes, my friends call me... the Cat Whisperer. Not that they actually hear anything I say... Blasted, spoiled-rotten, paper-chewing varmits that they are. NOT bringing them on the cruise either. BTW, the husband loves your grunge roses. I told him to get in line behind the rest of us...
Vicki C
I haven't seen the film strip ribbon, yet. What a nice give away. My dh just shakes his head and smiles at me when I go shopping crazy. stamping sue
I have heard of the new ribbon, but have not seen it as of yet - yikes - you did get a whole bunch!! I like those Maya Road pins too - haven't see them either, guess I need to find them somewhere. Thanks for the chance in your give away.
Cool ribbon in a cool box?..I am so totally there! AND it is like a surprise because you can't see what it looks like in the box!....they need to find their way to my scrapping desk in Ontario!...with a bog thank you!
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have some of this new ribbon. I can wait to craft with it - so much fun waiting to happen. I found out too late about the artful cruise you and Tim are going on - my fiance and I were already booked on a cruise the week before - but I will definitely be onboard for the next cruise you set sail on. My fiance can't wait - ha - he will go with me and I can't wait to get it involved (he is a good supporter)
The Film strip ribbon is an amazing idea.. I love it.. Looking forward to seeing that in the stores.. Just Fabulous...
(((HUGS)))
Kristal
I would love to provide a home for some of your film strip ribbon! Don't you just love it when a stamp fits so perfectly?!
Hey Wendy,
It seems you shop like I do~~~if one package is good,then 40 has to be GREAT!!!!!
Thanks for sharing with us!!Can't wait to see what you do on the cruise!!!
Bet the cruise is going to be a blast.. I have done the same thing when ordering and then realize once it's here that I ordered way too much so I just throw a little craft party and everyone has fun..
the filmstrip ribbon is so cool. was at for keep's sake in st louis today, wish it could've been next week when you're there.
Ok Wendy! ROLL IT!!!!! I would love to get my crafty hands on some of that film strip ribbon. I can get my camera stamp, my sizzix film strip die and use some fil strip ribbon to make a fantastic project. Thank you for the chance at your "mistake" candy.
I think 120 yards sounds like a lot more than it really is. Yeah, I know it's about the length of a football field but once you start using it, you'll probably go through quite a lot. ('Specially since you're such a nice girl and like to share!)
Give or take a football field. Not bad! :) Love how you've stocked up.
Hi Wendy - I'm waiting for it to come into FKS. It is going to be fun to work with. Nancy P.
Holy cow! Lots of fun stuff. I wish I was sitting at your place looking at all your new stuff.
Wow...isn't it like Christmas coming early when the courier man comes! I would be thrilled with a funky metal tin and some coolio ribbon from your stash!...you know it wants to come to Ontario and be a part of my stash!....thanks for the chance to win!
How sweet are you???? I have been searching websites trying to purchase my own! Man, I hope I win! Thanks for sharing!
I hope your trip was full of adventure.
I love the chance to play with new toys! Hope your weekend was a blast!
Freaking hilarious. I make mistakes like this too- but it just means more toys to play with!!!!
Lucky lady!Now that's a lot of strips and it is so kind of you to share! Just like all the postees before me, I sure am hoping to win some holtz goodness & see what creations I can come up with.
Thanks for chance.
All the best!
I just love your blog. I wish this stuff would hit the stores in Maine or my mailbox! :)
OMG - look at all those boxes - have fun to all those LUCKY cruisers!!
I have been checking my LSS for the ribbon... so far, no luck but I figure if I keep checking that eventually, I'll get lucky and they will have some in. :)
oh my word - I have just discoevered your blogarooni and all I casn say is WOWSER - ITS FABAROONI!!!
