"Horton Hears a Who" I've said it before..but sometimes we feel like Horton.."We're here, We're here". While we love living in Juneau, admittedly it is a bit isolated and it can get a bit lonely. It was amazing yesterday to meet so many crafters from all over the world on the Tim Holtz cruise. I went home and told my husband, "Look honey I'm not the only one who covets every shard of paper, or searches out old rusty things". We loved meeting all of these unique and creative individuals who graced our store yesterday. We can't believe the ATC's that they brought us and the beautiful charms...hopefully we'll post pics soon. It was more than amazing to meet other people who share our interests...and love the things we love...GLOBAL COMMUNITY!!
And of course we couldn't believe it when TIM HOLTZ walked through our doors. Are you kidding me, TIM HOLTZ!! Oh did I mention TIM HOLTZ came into our store today!! Me at the grocery store picking up milk last night, to the store clerk, "Did I mention, TIM HOLTZ came to Juneau today!!" Me to my 7 year old, "TIM HOLTZ came to our store today!!" 7 year old,"Who?" Me, "Imagine if Hannah Montana walked into our store in Juneau". 7 year old, "Hannah Montana was in your store" Me, "uhh no". You get the idea. Yes Elton John is coming to Anchorage..but we had TIM HOLTZ. Sorry Tim I think I just compared you to Hannah Montanna and Elton John. You are truely the Hannah Montana of Altered Art, the Elton John of all things crafty.
We were also completly sold on a new line of cool metally things, that we haven't even seen yet. But we hear they will be out soon. Said, cool metally things were introduced to the cruisers but hopefully we'll find them soon and craft away with them. Check out the pic of the cool necklaces these cruisers did. Hopefully we'll get our hands on them soon. Very Steam Punk Tim!!
So thank you passengers of the Norwegian Pearl and Scrapmap Cruise and TIM HOLTZ (did I mention Tim Holtz came to our store, tee he he), you brightened our whole summer and we loved meeting each and every one of you. Thank you for your positive vibes, your songs (Julie, smile) and your willingness to share part of your journey with us. We only wish I could've joined you on this journey..but we do hope to hear about this trip from you soon!!!- Anji, Jen & Amy
PS big thank you to the mystery lady who helped us figure out how to put more price stickers in our pricing gun...you've ended 2 years of our needless suffering trying to figure that stupid thing out.
I know wasn't it great. I was one of the lucky ones to get to spend, time and money, on the cruise with Tim and the rest of the gang. I am still coming down from the high of everything. Though have headed back to my real life job. Have to pay for this cruise some how. It was great coming to Juneau and visiting your store. Great meeting everyone.
Anji, we will have to keep in touch as Art and Soul get closer.
Take Care,
Melissa from Portland, OR

I was one of the cruisers, too. I loved your store, and thank you for all the helpful advice you gave us in advance.
By the way, was Tim Holtz ever in your store? ROFL

It was so much fun to visit you in your shop! Wish I had had more time, but I had to get back for an excursion. I love the photos and will be adding them to my scrapbook. That's my necklace on your blog! I feel famous! And I'm even in the photo that you posted (I'm in the blue jacket). Thanks so much for having us and making us feel so welcome.
