Met up with my lovely friend Gabrielle when she arrived a little later with her daughter and friend Kitty and at 10 I headed straight for Paperartsy - where I found Gillian and Nicky and Anna who I previously only knew through blog/twitter. Spent a lot here - twice!!
Had an absolute ball today - as you can see I spent a fortune! but, hell, I may win the lottery tonight (ye, right!) and if not, so what, you only live once.
One of the Dylusions stamps (sentiments, in pic 2 above) says "you can't have everything, where woldl you put it" errr well, I 'm not sure..... but I think I'm going to try.
Now, I wonder if I can afford to have anything for dinner... lol!
Looks like you had a fabulous day, thanks for sharing your photos xx

Wow I'm so jealous...beans on toast for the rest of the month?
ReplyDeleteGreat stash :-)
Mega haul of goodies, have fun playing tomorrow. jo xx
ReplyDeleteYOU! You would be one of the lottery millionaires that would very easily spend your way through your fortune in a year... allllll on crafty goodies :D Am so jealous, I'd love to try those Dylusions sprays.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had an amazing day! 8.40 though? I'd still be thinking about catching the train this end LOL!
Really pleased to hear that you had such a good day. Looking forward to seeing what you do with all this lovely stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou do make me laugh Helen, you must be the Shopping Queen of the World and Beyond. Am I jealous, of course I am.........such wonderful new things to play with.
ReplyDeleteAm sure you will be creating some amazing projects with this little lot... Have fun, hugs Annette x
Some serious spending going on here, glad you had a good, see you got some Dylusion sprays, you'll love them. A pan of home made soup is cheap & lasts forever, lol xx
ReplyDeleteOmg, you bought loads!! I know you're going to have a fab time playing with it all, looking forward to seeing what you create. Thanks for sharing the day with us.
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing, but only a little, since I can relate to affording dinner. That's why I eat a lot of ramen noodles, which cost about 20 cents (not sure where to convert that to pence). I admit, you have some gorgeous new products and supplies there!
ReplyDeleteGood Grief Helen. Did you buy enough? Looks like I will have to get some serious saving in ready for the September Ally Pally if I am to try to keep up with you!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun! I managed to "find" myself in Paperarts today LOL!!
Sounds like a great day Helen.. thanks for sharing.xx Enjoy your new stash.xx
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fabulous haul Helen, looking forward to seeing all your creations.
ReplyDeleteSaddo here stayed glued to Sky sports waiting for updates because I refuse to pay for ESPN as well. Poor Tommo looked visibly ill and of course the other pundits kept teasing him. But wonderful result.
Have a good Sunday.
