You would think as I am blogging these cards today ... that I actually had made them today ... but I did n't!
I have been far too busy composing a new song ... counting sleeps ... ringing everyone I know and just generally celebrating!
"Why's that then Linda?" I hear you ask ... well ... get this ... in 57 more sleeps ... I shall be going to *fan fare please* ... Ranger U :0)
Oh yes ... not only will I get to see Lord Tim of Holtz creating his magic ... you know Tim ... the man that can turn clouds into Strawberry Angel Delight while building a full scale Cadbury's chocolate model of the Isaac Newton bridge with just a Pumice Stone Distress Ink pad and one half of a pair of Tonic Studio non stick scissors. But I also get to see Suze ... the mistress of the melt pot and Claudine ... the paintess of paints! I know ... I know ... I made that up ... not the seeing part ... the paintess part!
So ... I gets the email and to celebrate I composed a little song and choreographed a little dance! And then I discover that everyone is a critic! John reckons the words are repetitive and annoying ... and actually he is my only critic ... no one else has actually seen it or indeed heard it ... unless you count the window cleaner ... but I was unaware that he was watching ... he smiled ... so I reckon he enjoyed it!
The song goes ... I'm going to Ranger U ... I'm going to Ranger U ... eeiiiadddio ... I'm going to Ranger U ... repeat etc., and it is performed to the tune ... The farmer wants a wife! I think it may well catch on and am considering doing a You Tube version.
The stamps are ... of course ... by the wonderful Wendy Vecchi and the tree and flourish on the first card are Paper Artsy. I am guessing you have heard about enough from me now ... so I shall away ...
Have a wonderful evening y'all!

I seem to remember a certain witch having a flash of premonition in one of your classes, and stating it wouldn't be long before you were going to Ranger U!!! Congratulations, I can only imagine your subsonic squeals when you got the email. I bet Marshalls thought Fulbourn Hospital had set all the alarms off at once! I am sooooo pleased for you. Learn loads, enjoy much, then come back and teach us it all, whilst regalling us with all your tales of how Princess Linda of Elbourne went to visit Lord Tim of Holtz!
Amazing as usual xxxx

You are way too funny! Congrats on getting to go to Ranger U!!!!! You will have a blast, but get lots of sleep, take your vitamins, and drink plenty of water....just KIDDING!
Your Friend in ART,
Linda
I am expiring from jealousy! My hubby has basically ruled out me going to Ranger U, in part because it's too far. You are living proof that this should be no obstacle. Have a wonderful time and blog every detail so that I can live it vicariously.
