Operation Snap and Nearly November?!

Seriously?! Where did October go?! It's been absolute chaos! Visiting family, travelling, organising, stressing you know, the usual 'life in the way' kinda thing. Then, about a fortnight ago, I couldn't access blogger, it just kept redirecting me. However, this appears to be sorted... On the plus side, I do have stuff to show you!!

Since I'm away next weekend (Go-go Getaway *bounce*) I wanted to show you some stash. My mum kindly found space in her suitcase for an order from Two Peas in a Bucket.

Plenty of goodies. I'm planning on joining along with Shimelle's JYC again (never know, I might finish), hence the red and peppermint theme! Can't wait to use some of these.

I've also done some scrapping (I know!) So I do have a few LO's to show you and now need a new album! Most of theme were made using the September Go-go kit.

You can't see the dimension so well in the main photo, but it can't go in my album, it'll get too sqwished!

Speaking of the Getaway, Operation Snap has been completed successfully (from my end at any rate!). My pics for the classes (along with a few extra's) have been ordered. Next up, Operation Paper Packages (aka: additional stash to take)!

I shall bid you all a good night and if I can still get on blogger tomorrow, try and catch up with you all!!!

Stash shopping and blowing The Boy's trumpet

Stop sniggering at the back there! I don't mean that kinda trumpet! As some of you might know, I happen to think I have the world's most amazing boyfriend.

I came back from work yesterday to these beauties

and a cute little note ^_^ I not only love the suprise, but also, he doesn't buy me flowers to 'apologise' he does it because he can.

Now, he may not 'get' my crafty obsession, I might get heavy *sighs* whenever I start discussing 'scrap' related stuff.

Well, I'll start at the proper beginning, The Boy and I went to York last weekend. See some friends etc etc. It was only supposed to be a day trip and he was driving. Then we got the suggestion of a beer festival... and a bed for the night (one of our own may I add (wait's for sniggering to die down again)) And with me knowing the GNEP Papercraft Extravaganza was on in Harrogate... Shy bairns get nowt! Besides, how could I resist, if he'd said no I would have got the train anyway!

OMG! I had soooooooooooo much fun. And wasn't nearly as naughty as I thought!
To that end, here's my stash purchases

In one lovely package :D Glimmer chips, grungeboard (been dying to try), some tags, stamps, primas and distress inks :D There are some little copper pins at the bottom too.
My fave finds however were

Dylusions Mica spray ink - how gorgeous is that blue?!

 

And some pots of buttons! I love that they're in different sizes and colours. Sorry, I'm not sure where these were from.

Now you guys may be sitting there thinking "sure, my man takes me to these things too, what's so special?" You see, I was there for about two hours. The Boy got a cuppa, sat down and didn't complain at all, not once, not even on the way home! (Although he promise's he'll hold it against me later!)

So, suggestions as to what to do with my stash are appreciated! Off to look at my flowers.

*much loves*
