I mentioned the Make It! Show last week. I mentioned that I was going with Laura and Kelly and that we'd probably not be shopping together. Just so. Just as well. When we met for lunch, they'd already bought more than I could take in. Made me feel a bit obliged to buy something. You know, in case I went home empty handed.
So I found five sheets of scrummy 12 x 12, a couple of 6 x 6 pads of paper, that stamp (as close to a wood mount as I could find, sob) and a cute die. I had already told myself I wouldn't be needing any more paper for oh, the next millenium. But I am weak and easily led and they made me. Kelly was pleased with me - she wants to borrow the new die at the Crop on Saturday, which makes it all worth while, huh! I was pleased with me too, actually..I feel that I bought enough to be very satisfied and little enough to get anxious and worry about how long it'll be before I can use it. Except possibly the Mr & Mrs thingy...it's just the sort of thing that I never get around to. Perhaps someone else who brought one could show me theirs, once done. Then I can live up to my reputation, and follow your example.

That stamp is nice although I would buy it and never use it and I think I have that one paper pad somewhere. Might have to dig it out
Crumbs this comment box looks different since I left work....
Glad to see your friends MADE you buy something... did you enjoy the show though?
Nine out of ten for self control. A nice little stash to make the visit worthwhile! Well done and I'm glad you had a good time,

I think you did really well and showed some restraint but made the trip worthwhile too!! ;) Love that Mr & Mrs... is it wood or chipboard? It would look cool if you took a map of the area you got married and covered it with it... or two maps... one of where you come from and one from where Mr Dunnit comes from and then the join could be in the middle of the & and covered with buttons and beads and lace and stuff...
you have shown great restraint actually for a craft show,have fun decorating the sign,x
I am impressed at how restrained you were! Your stash looks cool. Will be good to see what you do with the sign. Glad you had fun xx
oo, that mr and mrs is great,
glad you had a good time even if they made you buy toooo much lol. maybe you could decopatch the mr and mrs and give it as an anniversary pressie or a wedding gift?
Didn't she do well....! A mini chocolate muffin of stash...just the job and a lovely stamp!!!!
I am so impressed Julia, showing your self control there!! I went on the Saturday and spend a fortune!! I will never learn!!! O well there is always beans on toast I suppose, Hugs May x x x
I had such a fab day thank you. As for the mr and mrs sign well I bought one because you had one and don't know what to do with it either!!!! See you Saturday x
just the same about paper... just gotta have it!!!

I think you showed admirable restraint - just enough new stash and not too much. Those paper pads are an investment, as is the stamp and the die and the 12x12s are beautiful enough to satisfy the craving for strokable paper. Oh, and I think the Mr&Mrs shape is fab. Now, does that make you feel better :) Elizabeth x
When you get tired of that new stamp, mounted or NOT, you can send it to me (grin). I truly LOVE it. However, paper is something I've never cared about, since I can make or paint my own. The 12 X 12 is very pretty, but simply doesn't speak to me. I'm thrilled it speaks to you, though. I actually like what little I can see of the 6 X 6 paper. And of course, the Mr&Mrs makes me grin. It's the kind of thing I would buy, then stick it on one of my craft shelves, where it would promptly get broken!
LOL! i think the mr and mrs would make a great wedding or anniversary gift!
I love the look of the bird stamp, I'm about to buy one from stampin up!
Maybe we'll see a lot of Farnborough stash on WOYWW tomorrow.
Glad you enjoyed and were careful with what you spent, I'm glad I resisted as I wouldn't be able to resist

Ooh your new goodies look fab, love that mr&mrs sign. Zo x
I think that Mr & Mrs sign would look beautiful glittered in a sparkly white, on top of a frame, holding a wedding photo.
Did you badge work? Were you fighting off the crowds?
LOL dont ever come shopping with me. I dont shop often but I justify my #300+ spending with that notion
ooh, very restrained! Impressed lol!
kyla
Oooh I think I recognise some Country Drive there? I think you were very restrained, well done!
What a brilliant idea Annette has come up with. I was just coming on to say I cannot believe how restrained you were and how much I like that stamp. Think I have that same die.
right off to photograph my room ready for Wednesday.
Hugs, Neet xx
LOL! I think that every time that I go to a scrap/ craft faire there is at least one shiny object that makes it home and never gets used...hmmmm.....maybe it is time for some give aways again...Amanda
oh my...such restraint. I am with you...a paper addict all the way!
