It's surprising I remembered that today is Wednesday - the day for a good look at everybody's work desk -
HERE. Usually when we're off school I forget what day of the week it is but with Hannah home from Uni for a couple of weeks she is going out to work in her part time job at 7:40 every morning, so I still have to get up (but I can get back into bed after she leaves :-) I didn't get round to taking a photo of my NEC shopping last week, so here it is today - well, some of it anyway - the stuff that hasn't been tidied away yet! I really enjoyed my day out and the special bonus this time was being able to visit the Cake show as well. I bought some cake decorating sprinkles etc as well as pieces of fabric and craft basics like card packs, cellophane bags, DS tape, but the photo shows paper, die cut decoupage, dies, a crochet pattern, buttons, cotton lace in lovely colours, pink and blue card and some of the 'word' dies - I have even used a couple of them already for this Engagement card I was asked to make. On the way back through airport security my bag was completely unpacked and searched - I got a few strange looks and was asked if I was going to bake myself a cake!! I took some photos of the lovely cakes on display and they can be viewed on my facebook page (see sidebar for the link)

Perhaps they where hoping you would have cake further in your bag and when they reached the bottom they could only think of yummy cake, great haul on your desk too hugs Nikki 2

Fabulous haul! Sounds like you had a blast at the NEC! Lovely card too..Elaine no 19
ReplyDeleteMorning Bernice. Glad you had such a good time at NEC. It's a long way for you to come over, but it certainly sounds as though you made good use of the journey. I'd have loved to have gone - we have done in the past - but it just wasn't possible this year.
ReplyDeleteLovely card you have made.
Take care. God bless.

looks like you had a good trip - I'll enjoy Ally Pally (though it's not as good as it used to be) as I meet up with lots of blogging buddies.(will manage to shop lots though too!) Helen #1
ReplyDeleteGood evening looks like you had fun with your shopping and lots of fun goodies to play with. Your card is stunning I love it so much. Have a great week Hugs ~Anne L #3 also thanks for the visit and almost caught up on basic housework but should really get the spring cleaning started......maybe. :P
ReplyDeleteShopping can be an inspiring experience, can't it? I like the textural treatment to your card. It's crisp and neat but still has a frilly appeal. Nice
ReplyDeleteGreat stash pic!! Take care. Zo xx 41
