Good morning my dear WOYWWers!
So today it is the 150th WOYWW! Another milestone! Congrats to all! We have made it this far - thanks to Julia our Queen! The worlds biggest blog hop is still going strong, more and more taking part! I hope you all enjoy it very much! I have learned so much since I am a part of this and I am sure all of you did too - it is not just about snooping it is about spreading information, techniques and whatever you want to know about crafting! Also friendship - some virtual some in real life! So WOYWWers lets now run the marathon towards 200!!!
Ok then lets get on with the regular Wednesday business!
As you all know I have been on a short break in England and was very lucky to be able to go to Ally Pally! The show is really amazing - I think although I did make a few rounds around I still probably didn't see half of the stuff ! My DBF financed most of my shopping and I did get lots - things I really wanted for a while - some of the things were half price of what I would pay for them here! So let me show off my Ally Pally haul, then a few photos from the show and as last my last making!
Here is an overlook of all the stuff I bought layed out on the bed....It is a lot less then what other people have bought but I am happy with what I got
Here is some detail .....I bought a lot of stuff at Paperartsy - Stamps and Fresco Finish paints, I also bought stamps from Indigo Blu, The Artistic Stamper, LOTV and others....
I also got some got some TH Alterations, stickers, stickles....
You can also see some twin, sticky tape, bling, tags and other bits and bobs....
So that was my Ally Pally haul.....now come a few photos from the show....
People queuing to get in......
Paperartsy stand - oh the lovely stuff these ladies make.....I met a fellow WOYWWer there Helen here bellow right in the front of the photo.....it was so nice to meet you again Helen.....
Here is one of the makes Lyn made for us.....
Next stop was the Artistic Stamper - they have a new range of stamps with houses - I bought them of course - here is Jennie showing off her new stamps and also the WOYWW badge!
Here is the LOTV stand - I bought some cute Christmas stamps there - what an amazing collection of stamps you can see there....ha, ha how can anybody think of so many different cutsy little girls I have no idea....
I could go on and on with these photos but I think this is enough for you snoopy girls.....well not quite finished - here is one of me in front of the Alexandra Palace - carrying my heavy rucksack full of lovely stuff! And Julia I proudly wore my WOYWW badge!
Also unfortunately when I came back from England I heard that one of my best friends mom died and I made a sympathy card for her....and that actually rounds up my post for today!
Have a lovely snoop and a lovely week !
Lots of hugs to all of you!

looks like a fab show although sad news
ReplyDeleteThank you for the glimpse of your work this week on WOYWW x
You may not have bought as much at AP as some other WOYWWers (I'm thinking Helen here) but you have some stars. I love the Indigo Blu owl, which I have, and the Lynne Perrella stamps. The Craft Notions glue is really good to use and the paints are so smooth. Good to see you met up with some many people from here.
