Ooh I spent a few pennies....lol...and do you want a peek..??

Well here goes...

 An over view of goodies... :o)

 I bought my first Smash Book...! I thought I could journal my favourite stamps, colour combo's and any ideas I get when looking round all your beautiful blogs...!

 I then went to Hobby House stand and got more pearls and some lovely ribbon roses..Mmmmm...

Got my fave photo glue and gel from Pinflair...and some double sided tape too...10 rolls for £5..!

 You can also see I bought some more LOTV stamps...10 in total and the grunge corners too..:o)

Popped over to Crafters Companion and bought the new Paintbox Poppets stamps...they are so gorgeous and very, very cute...!

and I got some lovely hearts and pegs from Meiflower....

I then popped over to Craftwork Cards...just a wee disappointed cos' they didn't have the bigger packs...and their prices have gone up too :o(

 You can also see I got the smaller Tonic Guillotine..(bought the larger one last time..) and my original smaller one from X-cut was getting blunt...(I have had that one for 8yrs...!!) and a 12" glass mat too..

You can also see I got more pins...lovely colours from The Hobby house..!

and yep I got some more Hessian, tags and finally some Copics...!

Teresa sorted the colours out for me ( lovely skin and  dark hair tones)...and I so like the soft, brush tips...very similar to Flexmarkers..so it looks like I might have to start collecting them now...lol..!

We also met up with Marianne...she is so lovely and it was fabulous to meet up again for a wee chat..

So I hope you likey.....I have a few day's off now to play...not back to work till Thursday...woohoo..!

So that's all from me...hope you enjoy the rest of the day...and I'm off now to have a bite to eat...all this shopping gives you a bit of an appetite...lol..
