That is n't actually the suitcase I took away with me ... in case you were wondering :0) Case??? Geddit???
And where do the words "Hi Honey ... I'm home" come from? Was it a film or a TV series ... I can hear them ... but I can't work out who said them!
That is n't why I am here either by the way! No ... I am here to tell you that there is a new theme over at The Simon Says Stamp and Show blog and this week the theme is ... drum roll please ... Anything Lord Tim of Holtz inspired!
Oh Yes ... I picked the theme ... You know Tim ... the man that can bungee jump off the side of Mount Everest without a bungee while building a 1 in 100 scale model of St Paul's cathedral with just a dab of Broken China Paint Dabber and a Stickle from a pot of Rock Candy Stickles.
My project is indeed an altered suitcase ... don't forget to check out this week's prize ... fabulous it is ... Simon Says Stamp donate the coollest prizes!
Finally ...I have very very exciting news ... I am not going to tell you what it is ... but if you click here and read down the right hand side ... well guess who made Lord Tim of Holtz's blog roll????? Only little ole me!!!! I don't think I am ever going to sleep again ... I am just toooooooo excited :0) Doh! I told you :0)
Have a great Monday everyone ... I will be back later tonight with the results of the blog candy ... still time to enter if you have n't done yet and Thank you guys so much for all the lovely comments!
Laters!

Fab news that you made "His" blog roll - well done.
The suitcase is just WOW...
Toni :o)
Such a sweet little case. It wouldn't be big enough to take away, you couldn't get all your timminess or wendiness in that!! Hmm, Tim's blog roll eh? There'll be no stopping you now!
great little suitcase
Fabulous work Linda - I would love to see this IRL!
Well done for making Tim's Hall of Fame - really well deserved!!
Elaine
why wouldn't you make his blog roll? You are just as inspiring as he is ma dear.
No one deserves to be on that blog roll more than you Linda so congratulations.
It's good to have you back by the way, (I miss my regular chuckle dose) and what a fab little case to start the blog ball rolling again.
Speaking of starting the ball rolling, I've posted my take on your gorgeous canvas (Craft Stamper July issue)over on our http://craftstampingquartet.blogspot.com/ if you have time to take a peek this week.

You've made an amazing job of that suitcase, and what a MEGA compliment to find yourself on Tim's blog roll! Take a gold star ... no, wait, make that two!!
I love your suitcase, and as I have just created 2 cards inspired by Tim Holtz, I can enter! yay!
I bet Tim comes to your blog to read what amazing statement of adoration you have come upwith each time lol!
I am not at all surprised that you made Tim's blog roll. After all you are his No.1 fan, and mention hime most days - so you should be top of the list with your stunning work inspired by Tim.
Where do you find such wonderful things - this case is absolutely amazing and more so since you have decorated it - a priceless treasure.
At first glance I thought you had popped over to Ranger for a few days you get your hands on the latest Die cut suitcase!
Gorgeous case hun... think the TV thing was Bewitched or something like that from the 60's.. I am probably totally wrong though ROFL COngrats on being on Tim's Blog Roll.. about time too! x
Fancy you joining a Tim inspired challenge lol. Love the project (again).
Love the suitcase :) What a thrill to be on T!m's blog roll...I agree with Hels and think it was Bewitched.
xoxo Sioux
I LOVE this project! It is absolutely adorable and you have it looking like real leather!
Congrats on making the ULTIMATE blog roll! I don't think I'd ever sleep again either! Love the suitcase - it looks perfectly aged and leathery - in fact - it looks better than the Vagabond! (maybe they'll redesign it based on YOUR suitcase!). Have a great day. ~ Ellen.
Ah - so who is inspiring who? :) Love the last few projects. Being a non-commenter for a few weeks (and YAY! for Blogger finally sorting that out) I have missed expressing my delight.

Fab case Linda! I think Jack Nicholson said it in 'The Shining' by the way!
Well, the rest of us might as well PACK UP and go home (snork!), because you have created the ULTIMATE Tim project! (Do you have Lord Tim himself stuffed in there?!) Talk about inspired! Nice job!
Fab suitcase !
I think the line Honey I'm home is at the very start of the Flintstones before the theme tune starts ! Don't know why i can remember that ! Very worrying !
Too stinkin' COOL!
I adore that suitcase ...brilliant ...reminds me of elderly travelers, when I was a child.
luuuuuuuuv your suit case ~fab project!!

Oh I love your case Linda. Well done on getting on Tim's blog roll. S x
Ooh it looks fantastic ;-)
How great getting on Tim's blogroll!
Anne xx
Fabulous case. Just love it.
Well done on the Tim blog thingy.
The "Hi honey I'm home" was said by either Richard Dreyfuss or Emilio Estevez. they were on a stakeout and one went out to get some burgers or something and as he climbed the stairs to where the other one was he said "Hi honey I'm home"!!!!! Well that's my theory and I'm sticking to it!!!!!!
Love the suitcase Linda, I love these and it looks so authentic and very Tim inspired. Well done on the blog roll, you must be chuffed. Have a good evening, Tracy Evans, crossing her finges for the blog candy LOL. Tracy Evans x
Well there goes that idea... just saw the simon says challenge was all things tim and immediately thought, 'oh i'll alter a mini case' only to scroll down to find you had beaten me to it lol great minds ah! love your case, looks super authentic x
This is just too totally COOL, Linda! So fun and funky - it honestly looks like the real thing! And you've impressed the heck out of me with that TH blog roll thing. I think you've made the big time - congrats!!
Fabulous case!!! And congratulations... you should be there!!!
Hmmm! Wonder what inspired you here - could it be the new Vagabond. Bet you'll be getting one.Lol!
Fabulous case - how big is it?
squeeeeee, somebody pass me a paper bag ..... how AMAZ0ING is that .... I am so thrilled for you, not surprised though you of awesome talent!!!!

Now that is cool! Love the suitcase and congrats for making the blog roll of Mr. Cool himself!
Really like what you did with the suitcase. It looks so real!
