Then, onto Sunday and Stamperama show in Stevenage, where I met up with loads of mates and had fun... and as Shaz asked on Facebook, "does that mean there'll be new stuff to see next week"...well......
and because on Friday I'd seen some of the new Crafters Workshop stencils at Artist Trading Post, and no-one had any on Sunday, I "may" have put in an order when I got home (yes, after spending ALL that money!) for some of them...
see, I told you I had no shame...
Now, to find time to play with it all... and then time to find somewhere to store it... re-organisation is in order I think... if you want to see who I met up with (no Deskers) see the post on Sunday night when I got home (here)
just realised I haven't mentioned why I'm doing this... in case you haven't visited before...it's What's on Your Workdesk? Wednesday - week 300... Visit, share your desk or workspace, and have fun - it's a bit addictive though!

I can tell you have no shame. You are the POSTER CHILD for spending money at art and hobby conventions, fairs, and gatherings at craft stores.
What a score. I really want to play with your stencils, because stencils are SO expensive.
Looks like you had fun with all the gals, though. Some familiar faces, all from your blog.
Happy WOYWW, yet I have no number, or post ready yet (grin)._
Wow I am agreeing with Elizabeth you win on who has the most stamps. It's amazing seeing all of them that you own
I can tell some people would seriously love to come over and play at your house :) Happy WOYWW 300 hugs Nikki #1
Oh my, what a collection! Love those stencils, fantastic fun for months here. Enjoy x
OH Helen!! Can I please come and play on your floor ...p.l.e.a.s.e!!! ( I have no shame either....grin)

Hi Helen
Another lovely array of new stamps - and stencils! Must admit I am getting into this stencil game a lot more of late. Suddenly I seem to remember I have some - now just need to remember that ribbon, brads and eyelets go on cards too.
Have a wonderful play with your new stuff - I would love to.
Hugs, Neet 10 xx
Wow that seems like a serious haul this week! Do you have a system for making sure that you get to play with each thing before it gets stored away? Given that I haven't got to any crafting in weeks, I am very jealous of you having such great new stash to get stuck into! Ali #21
Morning Helen. What a haul! Goodness - are you safe let loose with a credit card I ask myself ...
I love the seedhead stamp and some of those stencils are just "me" too. Enjoy every single one of them.
Take care. God bless.

Fab stash as always - I'm amazed that you find time to use all these new goodies - can't wait to see some journal pages with those new stencil sheets and stamps - gorgeous!

Helen ... You are completely shameless .... But hey YOLO as they say. Love all of it especially the figure stamps snd the Jofey ones .... I looked for those at Farnborough but nobody had any ... Might have to go shopping ... Excel at the end of the month
Have fun playing ... If you get time
Janet
Hello, lovely gal...good to see that your stash is still expanding! I can understand you lusting after stamps but rusty wire??? That's a new one for me!
Thanks for all the fab support you've shown me ever since I started desking...let's hope it continues to flourish, eh?

Hi Helen, simplying saying today Happy 300th WOYWW and thanks for visiting my desk. OOOWW what a lovely stash of new stamps and stencil...you just have to find time now. Cheers RobynO#14
Just in case you feel shamed, Helen, feel free to send your haul onto me!!!

The thing is, unlike some of us (blush) week after week we see that you actually USE what you buy. So I never mind seeing your stash posts, even if it does make me green with envy. And no, I am NOT a fast knitter by any stretch, it HAS been that long since my internet has been anything like stable. Seriously, since early JANUARY. But glad to be back. Also noted the "eventually" comment. I have to say that retailer is one that gets more complaints than any other on UKS for problems with orders. Count yourself lucky!
Have a Happy WOYWW day!

Hi Helen, rofl! You are not alone, I treated myself to some Indigo Blu stamps this week too. You did manage an amazing stash there though, always good too to meet up with friends. Have plans for going to the NEC in March with Marg (Silvercrafter) and Debbie( Tattered Rocks)Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #27 xx
Hi Helen, How great all that stash, hope you get time to play with it all, look forward to see what you do with the Jofy stamps, I've just bought my first set and love them.

As you said - No shame but loads of lovely new goodies to play with and show us, I am enjoying my painting at the moment and resenting anything that takes me away from it. I do not care if it is not a masterpiece - it is just the achievement of doing it. Have a great week with all your new stash. xxx Maggie #20
Happy 300th! Fantastic stamp stash-I'm very jealous! Lucy #6 x

I haven't been by to see you in way too long, Helen, and I see that you are still bringing in new goodies one after the other! You could open a mega-store, couldn't you?! Have fun with the reorg and, most importantly, with playing with it all!! Happy 300th WOYWW!! Hugs, Darnell #15
Wow..can I come to your house and play. Everything you have chosen I LOVE! I could spend days in your craft space making things :) Shel - paperocotillostudio #25
Such fabulous new goodies! I hope you get to play with them soon. I love those Crafter's Workshop stencils.
Hugs!
brenda lee #80
Wow! That was a haul and a half!You need another craft room to store them all! But I can imagine why you bought them. They are all lovely, interesting and 'must-have'. I also like the stencils that you bought. You'll get a lot of use out of them, I'm sure.
Now back to packing my suitcase,
have a great week,
thanks for visiting earlier,
Lisca
Just came over from Chris's blog to see what you bought.... I can say, hand on heart, it is lovely to see someone who actually buys more than me! But not by much - love your new haul Helen! Anne x
Happy WOYWW, Helen! No need to express shame amongst us deskers -- if we'd seen such goodies in our travels, we'd have snapped some up, too. :) Hope you find time to play soon. Thanks for your visit! ~ Laura #69
Sorry not commenting till now - it's been a busy day! Now...I had concerns about how you were going to eat this week....and you get more!!! You are going to have so much fun with these - look forward to seeing them appear in your art soon! Hugs, Chrisx
beautiful stamps, where to start, eh?
Happy 300 WOYWW.
Pat #83
Lots of lovely new stuff, I want it all. Look forward to seeing how you use them. Hope you have a great crafty week and happy woyww, Angela x 42
Things would not be right in the world if you didn't show new stash each week. I'm not allowed to spend money, so I do it vicariously through you. So keep on spending and having fun :)
I love your mess.
Have a great week,
Von #32
Dropping by to say hi and thanks for visiting. Oh my! That is a lot of goodies! You'll have to get busy to get to use them!
Happy WOYWW!
Hugs, peggy aplSEEDS@11
My dear friend, I live the journal/painty/stencilly dream entirely through you and would be horrified if you didn't buy things I like!! Such a cheerful post on Sunday after Stamperama...I'm sure that comes back when you start to play with stuff you buy there. And re-organising....ack. Jus tremember that it gets worse before it gets better and one thing leads to another...!
Thanks for visiting me yesterday. Sorry I didn't get by earlier but it was a really full day of fun yesterday [pics to come tomorrow ;-)].
I knew what to expect on your desk today as someone on my blogging travels had warned us :-) Really hope you have lots of fun with your new stash.
Hugs,
Annie x #22
Love seeing all you stash. So you keep buying and sharing! Lol Hope to see you this year at some point! Take care Zo xx 55
I so love coming here and seeing what you have purchased each week, although I am envious. Those jofy stamps and to die for and stencils one can never have enough of them. I got goodies on my desk too. Thanks for visiting already, Yoda sends paw hugs.
Hugs Eliza & Yoda #89
Happy 300th WOYWW
Oooooo Helen, I love all your new stash, especially the stencils! But when will you ever use it all? :) I can't find enough hours in the day :)
RosA # 33
Oh SWOON! Those are some amazing goodies. The stamps and stencils are my faves. Lucky you! Have fun with all those goodies.
Move over Krisha cause I'm going to Helen's to play too. Love those stencils, need those stencils! Thanks you enabler you...te he giggle Hugs and Happy WOYWW! Nan G #75 a bit a late
What a haul - but you're right, time to play is of the essence now! I got a set of Finnabair stamps as part of a prize voucher spending spree, and have just spent ten minutes resisting the lure of those fab stencils... may have to give in to just one or two!!
