I don't know how you all get anything done. It must be so wonderful to know you have such a great job and fun people to work with!!

SusanK said...

New stuff, old stuff...it's all GREAT stuff. And more stuff to want! Almost done with my binder cover then need to fill it with MORE stamps! Can't wait to see what's up Tim's sleeve and yours!

Barbara Wilson said...

I thought when the cruise was over that the teasing would stop. Boy, was I wrong! Love the picture. You and Tim crack me up! Life is fun when you "Make Art!"

Dee2 said...

Um, someone squeezed your face. :)

Cariena said...

hehehehe!! what a hoot! i must say, it always looks and sounds as if you guys have WAY too much fun in the US of A creating art! We struggle to get the products, never mind CREATING! I hope you guys all know how fortunate you are! I don't know who Lori is, either, but if you recommend her, I will be here! Thanks for inspiring me here in my corner of Africa!!

Unknown said...

Did your mother ever tell you not to make faces that it could get stuck that way?? This is what she was talking about-LOL Have a great weekend! Great picture!!

Kim said...

Wendy--I just saw this pic on Tim's blog!!! too funny.... I'm hoping to make some art this weekend--hope you can too!

Helena said...

I THOUGHT I recognized you in the photo on Tim's blog (recognized also Mario and Michelle)!!!
I think my photos of you on the cruise turned better :))))

Earlene said...

Yes Tim will do that to you.

I sure hope your face returns to Normal--whatever that is. LOL tease

I love the teasing going on--It kinda gets you off all The Christmas Stuff for a bit.

Don't get me wrong I love Christmas.

Go Girl Go

Unknown said...

Oh My word Wendy honey ... what happened to your face :0)

Renee said...

Love the picture!!!!
Can't wait to see new goodies in January!

Lori said...

WT*???? Did you get your head stuck in the Big Shot or what?? LOL. That is WAY too freakin' funny. OMG! You called me a guest ARTIST? I'm really just a wanna be artist/amateur crafter. I hope I can live up to this title!!!

Pat W said...

Love that expression! LOL

Heidi said...

I about peed my pants when I was blog cruising today!!! You all are too too funny!!!!

Donna said...

Great and funny picture!! I can't wait to see all the new stuff. Have a wonderful creative weekend!

...Tara... said...

That pic is too funny!! I cant wait to see the new stuff!

Denise said...

Wendy, lucky you! You got to see Tim's new stuff. Thanks for all your inspiration. :D

Nancy said...

What a HOOT! Thank you for the giggles!! I've been busily reorganizing stash space - this was a great reward!

Debby said...

Oh the teasing is driving me crazy. No, not really but maybe so. I grew up with 2 older brothers that teased me to death. You almost look like you are at Tim's house with the bins and etc. You can always share your stuff with me!!

Traci said...

You guys shouldn't be allowed to tease us! It hurts the creative soul! No, really, tease away! looks like you had fun with the photobooth program!

dblanken said...

Life is short and if you don't like what you do then you will have a dull boring life. You and Tim have a great time at what you do and I love to see what you create. I too love Jenni Bowlin mini papers. Have a great day and weekend!

Rockin Robin Caldwell said...

OMG....Wendy that pic makes me laugh!!! Kind of looks like me in the AM!!! Gotta love those photo editing programs. Hhmmmm...free stuff??? What free stuff??? Would love to have a spy cam and see what kinds of "lovely" were in Tim's email. You lucky lady you??? Hisses, Rockin Robin Caldwell

Unknown said...

I just looked at your amazing pic over on Tim's blog too. What a fun program it is. Abuse from the man who can leap tall buildings......never!!!!! lol
Regards
Michelle

Kim said...

Hilarious pics on yours and tim's blogs!!!!!!! Love it!!! Have a good weekend!

Linda said...

I thought that might be you on Tim's blog! Too funny! Love the photobooth software. . .may have to go get a Mac so I can play too (or look for a PC version!)

Have an awesome weekend!

Linda

Carol said...

You and Tim are too much fun!!! The pics are just like the view in the crazy mirrors at the old amusement park at Ocean View. Those were the days!!!

Angela Hope said...

I thought I was the only person who got a kick out of this....you what they say about us creative people, right?

Erica - CopperSunSilverMoon said...

Thanks for the laugh - I needed it!

Anita said...

You are such a tease. Can't wait to see the new stuff.

Sharon said...

Ok, I'm confused...I thought that was you on Tim's blog...but it looks like his studio...and he said he just took the pictures...and that somehow looks to me like Mario's arm in the background(don't ask me why I think this...it goes back to "how to be a private eye" kit I had in childhood which developed in me strange abilities to recognize people at great distances from how their hair "bounced" in the back when they walked and knowing a new friend had a brother because I had seen someone on campus who walked the same way...talk about springing that on a proper New Zealander junior year in high school)...but I digress...and so I deduce that is Mario's arm and that is Tim's studio...so what gives? Do artist's time travel? Do they "stretch" the truth?(which given the pictures...might just be the case?) I thought you were busy preparing for snowflakes in Illinois. Or do you have a transporter in your basement? So you can just "drop" in on Tim so that he make art out of your visage. What is going on here?!!! Will I ever know? Or will I have to write a book and title it "The Secret Lives of Artists Altered"...and make it all up? To be continued...somewhere... somehow... and on some un-named as yet timeline in a non-dimensional alternate universe where the Mad Hatter is the only sane person to be found. And the Cheshire Cat is in charge of the art supplies(and keeps disappearing with them!).

carpediem said...

KAT said...

Gee Wendy here I thought it was our "chest" that went south as we get older - Now I need to worry about my cheek bones too!!! Snort!!!

Art By Wanda said...

LOL These pictures are sooo funny!!! My boys would have a hay day with a program like that. And you got to see the new Tim stuff... no fair... ok, ok, totally fair since I'm sure you need to make samples.

Dawn said...

Wendy, I left you a post about the shoes and the purse, but I guess it didnt go through! Anyway, I am in the same mood- I need new shoes and a purse to make life right... I guess its off to shop tomorrow- I love th funny faces that you and Tim have posted! I cant wait to see all of the new stuff!
Hugs from MB, SC- Dawn

Maureen F. said...

Dianal said...

Tried to see the reflection in your eyes that would show what Tim has that's new, no such luck!!!
Will be in suspense until the teasing is over I guess.

Kathy said...
