WOYWW 202

Morning Everyone!! Welcome to a picture heavy post (sorry Julia...) for WOYWW this week. (If you don't know what that is, check here for all the details)

Last Saturday I went to the half-yearly Big Stamp and Scrapbooking Show at Alexandra Palace, or Ally Pally as it's known. I met up with loads of blog/twitter friends (well now I've met them they ARE friends..) and a great time was had by all... and some serious shopping.  The post with all the pics of who I met is here (except,sorry Dolores for some reason I failed to seize the photo opportunity!, it was great to see you again too!)
Where's the craft space gone??? This was after I'd laid it all out to share it on twitter... the pile it high tidy up method (it's been put "away" now ... this is what it looked like all spread out -
I've had to reorganise my Paperartsy Fresco paints - and move my distress inks... look!
 They are no longer within arm reach of me on the floor, so i don't think they can stay here long term..
but I needed more space for the paints!! I have quite a few now... very nearly the whole set!


ok, I'd better let you go, and blogger is playing up, I want to get this saved and scheduled before it crashes on me again!!   Come back this afternoon for a new Dragons Dream Tag it On challenge!!

    Ally Pally what an awesome name, looks like you had heaps of fun there and getting new toys to play with. Dont move the supplies to far away otherwise they will end up everywhere.

    I think you need to do something with those drawer sets at the back, they are exactly like one set on my desk. Go on alter them, you can do it. LOL

    Happy WOYWW

    Oooh! Helen, what a wonderful stash... I'll tidy up for you any time as long as
    1) I can bring a shopping bag and
    2) you haven't counted them all or made an inventory!!!
    Glad you enjoyed Ally Pally.

    Need to go to your AP link but have seen lots of you on Sam's blog.
    Great stash you brought back but the Fresco paints - well I have a decidedly horrid shade of green on my face now. Boy do you love them! Me too but I have nowhere near as many as you.
    Enviously yours, Neet xx 5

    HELEN! STOP sharing stuff I don't already OWN! You are KILLING my budget!!

    :)

    Good luck with Blogger. It often flakes on me when I am trying to comment and it drives me MAD. I've given up using my normal browser and use a different one just on Weds. so I can comment on maybe 80% of the places I visit (rather than 10% in the usual one!)

    Have a happy day on the floor....

    Ohhh you have a lovely haul from Ally Pally! I have bought a lot but nothing in comparison with you! Love all your stuff - I didn't get those stencils you have - they were gone by the time I went to get them!
    I was very happy to see you there - hopefully our next meeting will be at the crop!
    Lots of hugs,

    Oh my Helen,

    Lots of wonderful goodies here! How fun to meet other WOYWWers. Is Ally Pally something that happens once or twice a year?

    Thanks for visiting me already. It's my day off today so I'm finally getting around!

    Happy WOYWW

    Sounds and looks like you really had fun. Love the variety of paints and inks you've accumulated!! Have fun with them
    Running late, but being gone the 2 days wore me out! Drove home in a snow storm, still very cold, strong winds, and snow on the ground here. Unreal.
    Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend
