But i Kinda Love Her anyway and their are wellies and umbrellas as well that are very useful to use on their own.

Artisan Show

Had a great day as always - spending money on craft stash - Went to the Artisan Show yesterday in Leamington - Great time thanks to Bernie, Linda and Ali x Gosh i spent how much on the Paperartsy stall !!! In a matter of minutes - love the stamps and dies though. And Leandra"s OH has such a VERY SEXY voice . Could have spent more - but NEC is soon.

Food as well - Baked Potatoe with herb cream cheese and leeks Yum - it was really

And of course CAKE - Coffee and walnut kind - YUM YUM again

Had a fab workshop with Annalise Bates from the Artist Trading Post - went erm well - but me and Ali didnt put enough paint on for one of the techniques - lots of fun though.

Tim Holtz dies were calling out to me as well, and i did sucumb and buy one incy wincy packet of buttons - and it was nearly home time - i did do well - and a rather nifty bit of kit - envelope maker - easy peasy to d0 Bargain Price £1.99 and didnt manage to buy any ribbon - come on i have PLENTY

Was playing with my new dies last night. Just refreshed my self with the You Tube Video from Tim on how to work them - the On the Edge Ones

Anyway - just have just enough pennies left to go to the Sincerely Yours Hinkley Show next Sunday when Debs will be joining us as well

Sadly no piccys of the Motley Crew - I must remember to get myself a camera of my own - OH"S far to big to carry round - well i do have to carry my crafty stash bags !!!!!

Bye for Now

Happy Crafting to all
