You find me, post Stevenage stamp show (Stamperama) - surrounded by new stash once more. what can I say..
first, here's the stuff I was waiting for last week..
so I'm also including the pictures from my show write up - some of you have seen these already -
I am hoping to find time to play with some of this lot at the weekend - it is a bank holiday here in England, so I have got an extra day to play!
I think I'd better go on a bit of a stash ban for a while now.... at least for a week or two (going to the Paperartsy organised Seth Apter workshop on 3rd September... and then it's soon Ally Pally time....)

Oh Helen, I am so envious of your stash.As my paper artsy gear is in my garage(building site) I just can't make anything paper-related.Still I can visit you all and see lots to inspire.

You will love Seth Apter, he is such a great guy and a good teacher too. Full of envy for the Seth goodies you have bought.
Cannot believe we are having a ban on spending - well we will see how long that lasts but then it is only a few days to the workshop so hardly a ban afterall.
Enjoy your new stash - and Seth's workshop.
Hugs, Neet 11 xx
Happy WOYWW and congrats on the No.1 spot. Wow, what a fantastic pile of stash. My severely limited budget is extremely jealous of all those amazing stamps and stencils. I intend to combine digital crafting with my mixed media a lot, as I have far more images available on my computer/CDs etc than I own in stamps/stencils. I look forward to some inspiration from you when you get to do some crafting this long weekend. Ali x #12
Oh all that lovely stash to play with - hope you get time soon!
What a fab lot of new stash to play with....I'm sharing my new stash today so know how excited you must be.
Hope you have a great week.
Hugs,

Wow Helen I think you could probably open your own shop lol. Fab pics as usual, and really looking forward to seeing what you create with your new stash. Xx
Ooh Helen, I definitely have stash envy! I love the texture stamp set in the top photo and the tree is so cool, I could see loads of uses for that. You are going to be one busy lady working your way through all that! Enjoy the Seth Apter workshop - more envy going on here - and I hope you have a great week,

Oooh! Helen! I would have loved to have come to Seth's workshop but it sold out before I realised it was in England. Green eyes looking in your direction! lol
Hope you will do a complete post on your time there.
Love all your new stash
Take care

Hello Helen. Oh my loving so much of your new play toys and looks like you are going to have some real fun with it all. Just wanted to say good luck on your spending freeze as I know it isn't easy when new stuff gets released. Have a wonderful week and thanks for visiting my blog.Hugs ~Anne L#7
Oh, I hope you find time to play. It looks like so many fun things to play with! I can't wait to see some of your projects with those wonderful stamps and dies! #33
Such goodies Helen! What are you like?! ;)

Hi Helen, loving all your new stash, most especially the last picture. The penguins are awesome, and those dinky stencils too. And that tree stamp- great atmospheric image. Met the surgeon, really nice guy. Told us pretty much what we already knew, so no surprises, which is good! Intends to do the surgery end of September, beginning of October, so have to wait and see for the crop. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #3xxx
Well there's nothing I wouldn't have bought...maybe not the puzzle....but with you next to me filling my head with ideas, I probably would have! lovely lovely stencils! By the way, for trains to crop, yep, Andover is still good...and Cindy says if you want to, she's happy to repeat last times arrangement....really wanna see ya!
Lots of lovely new craft items to play with.
Hugs Diane

Oh my Helen it's all gorgeous but when will you get to use it all. You absolutely must show us what you do with all that new stash! Have a great woyww and happy crafting, Angela x 16
Morning!
Decided to hop about a bit today, continue to spread the love, as it were!
Thanks for stopping by my blog last night. I love the new Paperartsy stamps on your desk, and look forward to seeing the new releases once they've been...um...released! Maybe next year I can get my act together and my finances, and actually go to one or two of these shows! And not just look!

Oooh, I see fantastic stuff waitin' to be enjoyed and used soon!!! Funny - I just ordered some of the fab Seth Apter stamps and dies too (as I finally managed to find them for reasonable shipping costs. Yay!) - but still on the hunt for some more. lol
Have fun with your goodies and thanks for sharing!
Claudia xx
Golly - you did go mad! But it all looks so much fun, and I know it will get pressed into use just as soon as you have some time. I hadn't registered either that it was Stamperama or the Bank Holiday... glad to know you're all still having fun back there!

Fab stash there Helen. Maxine has banned me from buying any more stuff - I do seem to have been over doing it lately. There is always just a little something out there to tempt me!!
Hi Helen, I am faint with envy for all your scrummy new stash:)
Sorry I didn't get on before, but I spent the day in hospital on Wednesday and have been taking it easy since.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Happy WOYWW

Love all your new stash... some inspiration you've got there laying on your table! Enjoy! So you are going to meet Seth then? Say hi from me! thanks for stopping by my blog earlier. Big hug from Holland, Marit #23
Great new stash to play with, Helen. Thank you for your visit - I know you understand about tidying up lol! There's great satisfaction to be had, but getting started is a different matter! Today I added to the mess again... Why does it always take no time at all to make a mess, and ages to clear it up!
I had a lovely time with my friend but she is unable to do anything creative now because of serious arthritis. She really enjoyed seeing my studio, though, and fully understood how much work goes into the things we all do.
Happy belated WOYWW,

Now that's what I call a stash haul! Some lovely goodies to be envious of there Helen! Chrisx
