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.
God bless.

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!

I just warched a Paperartsy video on Youtube showing three new stamp sets. They also showed all the old stamps and it made me want to buy the lot!!!

I love the line starting with "Been shopping" ... thihi. It is fun to shop for these goods, it is like for me as a child in a toyshop :)

I hope you see your chair someday? - It looks comfortable to sit in (when free of stuff) - Thank you ever so much for sharing.

Kind regards

A girl can never have too many stamps, stencils or sprays. Thanks for sharing.

Those stamps are really great! I love the one with birdies, but also the one with the house. Oh I love them all really. I see you have already made a card with the house stamp. Looking good!
Have a good week,

Kirsten said...

Great to see your new acquisitions, have fun!

pearshapedcrafting said...

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)

Ohhh Snap said...

Excavation is like shopping at home for me. Gorgeous stamps you have there. Happy WOYWW! #50

Eliza said...

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
Happy WOYWW

Margie said...

Love artsy "messes"! I'd love to dig through that box!

VonnyK said...

I love those stamps, those houses are gorgeous and I love what you did with them on the journal page. I could get lost for a year in your place, that would be so much fun to dig through. Have a great week,

Who could resist those fab new stamps! x

RosA said...

Great new stamps! Honestly, good luck with the excavating!

fairy thoughts said...

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
