A lonesome visit to the NEC!

Hi All

Apologies for the lack of posting at the moment. Work has well and truly taken over. Five days left and then off for two weeks…awaiting Ofsted though so really hoping we don’t get a call this week for the first week back…otherwise that’s my hols gone! Lol!

Anyway, I decided to take a day off today and go to the NEC for the craft show. Have managed to catch a cold over the past couple of days…yet again!…but was determined to go. Unfortunately, my partners in crime, Becky, Mum and family friend Jill, weren’t able to come so it was just me on my own…was pretty lonely. I managed to cheer myself up with a bit of crafty retail therapy though! I have popped a piccie below of what I bought:

I got some lovely goodies, lots of Beatrix Potter stuff, some Little Claire Christmas sentiment stamps, LOTV stamps (couple of new ones), various bits of card and bits and bobs and one thing I absolutely love is a wooden mounted House Mouse stamp…couldn’t choose which one I wanted but went for this chocolate box one. Really looking forward to Easter so that I can have a good old play! Also won a fiver at Crafty Bob’s stall and got myself a gold bag…that was a nice start to the day!

It was also the Fashion and Sewing show too and they had the Downton Abbey costumes…I am a big fan so thought I’d show you a piccy!

 

That’s it for me for now. I have been very kindly nominated for a few awards and promise I will accept them when I break up. Thank you so much for my nominations :)

Hope to be back in the blogging world from the weekend onwards!!

Thanks for looking as always!

Hugs
