WOYWW 180

I've been busy, just not on my desk! What I have got in my space is ...stash!! We (hubby and I) went to the NEC last Friday! I must say he walked around with a bit of a startled expression until we reached the foodie area when I was able to escape back to the craft area! It was great to meet up with old friends...and spend some money on goodies!
So on this 180th chance to go touring the desks of the world - all organised by Julia - I'm showing what I spent my cash on! 
Some stamps(just a few LOL!)A TH set with a pear on it, a couple of Lavinia stamps(love that stag), a couple of Inkylicious stamps, two mini Paper Artsy stamps and yet more alpha stamps! I also fell for a splodge mat and some Christmassy dies. Yes my feet did ache after walking around but I think I would go again (without hubby probably!)
I think you may also be able to see some of the cards I made while we were away at our caravan at the weekend(hmmm, we did go slightly wrong here as we decided to drive straight up the M6 to Junction 35 after the NEC - traffic jams most of the way!)
I made them using stamps from this - that only cost me £3 at the show instead of the usual £7.99
  I didn't want to get everything out at the caravan so I used some old paper bags and some old music sheets,distress inks and some papers from a magazine.
 I've also finished a few more scrap paper cards using Lindsay's Tinchies ...definitely need to crack on with more Christmas cards now!
Thanks for looking, an afternoon of unpacking and washing ahead but I will try and visit some desks too!

WOW awesome lot of new stash! I love the Christmas cards they are so festive. My DH won't even go with me to a craft show says I give him heart pain when I pull my debit card out so much to pay! Have a great week and thanks for sharing. Vickie #62

Like the star at the front , is it a die or an embossing folder. The cards you made are great too . Good way of using up stuff you may otherwise throw away.

Gosh you have a lot of lovely stash to play with. I went on Saturday but didn't buy a lot. DH was very surprised - mind you he doesn't know how much the storage furniture that I was eyeing up cost :-) Anne x #126
