I am planning on attending my first ATC meeting and I just love your spot here it has given me many ideas to think about using. The techniques are awesome. I would love to take the time to learn them to teach the ladies in my class. I know they would love them. You are an inspiration. thank you.

Beryl in Canberra: This is just to say thank you for a wonderful website. There is just so much information. I want to make some of the faux techniques and enamels, golly where do i start. Thank you so much for your generosity.

June Gaynor: What a find tour your website is, I was browsing for anything on the Wizard & found you, I will be sure to look you up again as I find your ideas are so fresh & original. I wish you well & thank you so much for sharing your ideas.

Karen Nelson: Greetings Tyra! My name is Karen Nelson and I live in MN. I have visited your site many times for inspiration in creating my cards. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your tips and techniques. I just had a horrific problem with a lightening strike---it struck my neighbors house and traveled through the ground to my APC and blowing my harddrive. Luckily, nothing else was damaged. Anyway, I have been searching to find your site --- Thank you again for your help to me. Your family looks wonderful! My darlings are going to be 39 & 40 in August and I very much miss their lives of marching band and jazz band. I miss all of those hours of practicing too.

Patricia Stein - Hi Tyra, Just got through "coffee cupping" my way through your website... Awesome... Your product reviews are great and it's wonderful to find someone who has more stuff than I do - and I have been stamping for almost 40 years... Don't do much on the internet though, so finding you was a treasure. Your studio give me hope of getting my basement in order - I have overtaken all 700 square feet and slowly moving the other stored things out - away to wherever they might find a better home, even some have become yard art. I will definitely share your website with some friends who want to know how this or that works... Hope all is well and you and yours are making it through our crazy winter weather - we have snow again in the pacific northwest. Thanks for such a comprehensive website.

Jeanne - Hi Tyra, I have spent hours checking out all your wonderful reviews and lessons. Thank you for putting these things together for all of us to learn from. I can't wait to go and start stamping. I also enjoyed seeing your studio. I'm always looking for ways to organize the many crafting products . Happy crafting.

I had to come up with ideas to store 7000+ mounted stamps, which I don't see much in the magazines.

Phyllis McKay - Tyra, I am so glad you keep me informed of your updates. They are always the greatest. I am the classroom coordinator for an AC MOORE ARTS & CRAFT Store now and can use any help I can get. You are the greatest.

Gretchen Brown - LOVE your new Art Studio. I have a craft room that has to be redone, but the start seems too overwhelming. Having to clear everything out of the room is too much. But after seeing what can be done, I guess I will bite the bullet and get someone to do the room for me. (Neither my husband nor I have any building/carpentry skills). An organized place to work would be great.

Mikko - Great work. Greetings from Arkil :)

Jani Howe - 2 AM, I've just been reading tips & product reviews & have learned so much! I'm not one to take classes, most of my stamping know-how has been learned by asking questions, reading tutorials & sites such as yours. Thank you so much for the in-depth analysis of products, and how to use them! Maybe now I'll use some of the ones which intimidated me before! I've been selling cards in a small way, enough to keep me well occupied in retirement, and have loved this outlet for my small talent. So hats off to you for what you are doing to share with the rest of us!

Your reviews provide me with guidance when I'm hesitating about the purchase of a product. The techniques list offers such a vast array of ideas. If all of this were to be put in book form, it would be a multi volume set (and worth every penny that would be charged). Seriously, in your spare time you might consider publishing a book. Hats off to you for the time and energy and what appears to be love of this information center. I'll continue to recommend this site to customers and friends.
