T'was the Day Before Tim's 12 Tags

Been reading about all the excitement and buzz about the annual 12 Tags of Christmas by Tim Holtz. Can you believe this will be the 5th year? It gets bigger every year. Looks like there may be lots of new and interactive features for 2011. Here is poem that is reposted from 2009:

T'was the night before Tim's Tags of Christmas

When all through the Web

Every stamper was stirring in wake of this fun event!

With Distress Inks and Blending Tools ready to go,

Just a wondering which stamps Tim Holtz will show.

With #8 Tags and the Must Have Craft Sheet 

awaiting Day 1,

Every stamper in town is getting anxious for some 

Tim Holtz Christmas fun.

So Stamp away, stamp away, stamp away all,

For Tim Holtz Tags of Christmas

 will keep you from the busy mall.
