WOYWW 297 - you know what I'm going to say..

... Starts with "been shopping" and ends with "bought new stamps"... once again they arrived just after last week's WOYWW post (check here for all the info)... which means I have this to show you:

 three sets of the new Lin Brown stamps released by Paperartsy last week... (and - erm-  there "may" be some more on the way...)
 my "desk" shows signs of  preparation for another tag and atc swap - as you can see, I haven't exactly got far!!

and my journals are out as I've been playing lots lately... check back a few posts for the results..
now, there is a box under here, on the chair... the pile has grown somewhat over the last few months... all kinds of things in the box itself (boxes of glitters, sprays, lots of wooden bits waiting for altering, and... er... ermm.... I'll excavate and check soon!

So, that's me.  Julia is waiting for you here...
See you soon!

    Oh Helen, those Paper Artsy stamps are gorgeous.Paper Artsy have some amazing ones from Lynne Perella, that I just have to have.
    had to smile at the other side of your desk.That's what mine looked like this morning, but we had a guest to morning tea, so I tidied up! It does feel nice when things are tidy.Not that she went into my garage to see the mess- but I knew it was there.
    Have a lovely rest of the week, and have fun with those ever-so-cute stamps/.

    Oh Helen. You have started our dy so well. Laughing out loud as I read your post title to John and showed him your pictures. You're great! Those stamps are really quirky - great fun I should imagine!
    You do realise that your excavations are going to have to be photographed at each stage??!!
    Take care. Thanks for visiting already.

    I kinda did know what you were going to say! I love that the armchair is doubling as the outer layer of the box, I can join you with bits of wood and the sort to be 'done'..I really should. You go first!

    Lovely collection of stamps you have there! After looking at your post, had to check the paperartsy site, they really do have yummy stuff, so who could blame for doing some shopping and ending up with some stamps :) thanks for the visit earlier

    Ooooh! I'm holding my purse tightly - mustn't give in….can I do it??? Hmmm! Probably not - it's a good job the sets I really wanted are out of stock for now!! I just have to keep my resolve and not get the ones I have further down the list!!! Hugs, Chris (not taking part this week but couldn't resist a peek)

    Helen,

    You really crack me up some weeks with your purchases and then the excavation work that need to be done following those said purchases. I am off to check out your journal pages, I am actually stuck on a little bit of mine and I don't want to do the norm.

    Hugs Eliza & Yoda

    The words .... Oh dear god actually came out of my mouth when I saw the chair lol..... I thought I had a lot to do..... You really need to get UFO ing or stop buying or something or you'll get buried.... Seriously though (difficult for me) there looks a lot of fun stuff there to do.
    You may have seen a quote on fb recently it says
    If someone tells you you don't need any more craft supplies .... Stop talking to them .... You don't need that kind of negativity in your life ....... LOL
    Janet ..... Have fun
