Lynda's Shopping
Lynda, you bought an amazing selection of craft goodies, from the very basics like card stock, card blanks to some gorgeous stamps, different styles too, I can see you making some amazing altered pieces with those masks and Inkyliscious stamps.
Now the Visible Image stamps are something I have never tried so can't wait to see what you do with them.
Thank you so much for sharing your shopping

Cheryl went to the Craft4crafters show and look what goodies she managed to find.....
Pete's fabric for the Pillow cases for the Grandchildren, I bet you can't wait to get them made Cheryl, you know you will find that fabric now you have replaced it!!
Santoro stamps were reduced to £2.50 in the Range,
Gilding Polish was also a bargain at 4 for £15 !!,
Last but not least are the bag clasps.
I am excited to see all the projects you make Cheryl, especially the pillow cases as they are something truly special!
Thank you

Trouble with your Grand Calibur, it was lovely seeing you get to grips with it on Tuesday, that makes 4 of you ladies are in the

Morning Ladies
ReplyDeleteSandra-beautiful card, love the colours you have used.
What wonderful crafty purchases-so interesting to see what everyone buys.
Busy day yesterday then Tesco shopping so I was shattered last night. Today looks like it will be busy- workmen & our governing body out to start our testing plus lots of patients on the treatment list.
Thank goodness it's a long weekend-I'm very glad someone offered to work for me tomorrow. I don't plan to do much at all over the Easter weekend.
Michele
Hi Michele
DeleteHow lucky that someone offered to work tomorrow for you. Enjoy your greak you deserve it.
Morning Everyone
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic haul of goodies bought last week-end. I can see some very exciting projects and cards appearing on our Café Wall of Fame.lol.
PAT- enjoy your Gemini. I have to confess that it's the best piece of kit I've bought since I started crafting. For me the biggest save is that the plates are so light tbo handle. They are like a feather but the results you get are just beautiful (oh that sounds like I'm blowing my own trumpet doesn't it but I'M NOT) I also love the button where you can reverse the plates so if you only have a small die you don't have to wait for the plates to go all the way through.
LILIAN- I hope that today you are feeing better Dear Friend. Have a restful day if you can.
SANDRA- A beautiful work of art. I love you colouring as it is always so professional.
I'm hoping to send my pics off to Sandra today. This morning we are popping off to see Daniel and Sylvie to deliver her bday card as it's her day on Sunday.
I see Marigny Dobbie is working well and playing hard with Herman too. I cannot believe how well they get on and no damage done hehehe.
HUGE HUGS to you all. xxxx
Hi Janet
DeleteI hope your enjoying your break away. I'd bought some very intricate CC dies. My GC wouldn't cut them at all in the middle. I borrowed Sandra's Metal Shim and then they cut using two or three passes. However, sing the Gemini hey cut in one pass. I hummed and harred at Farnborough but curcummed at a Ally Pally. I'm so glad I did.
Morning Sandra and all in the cafe' today.
ReplyDeleteLovely card Sandra , very nice colours on papers and flower. Amazing shopping from you ladies, hope you like the Gemini Pat. Looking forward to see what you all making, like the masks Lynda bought.
I hope you feeling better today Lilian and I hope Lynda that you not in to much pain.
Sending special hugs to Pete and Pat.
Seeing nurse this morning for blood taking, taking OH out for a coffee (his B.day today) and then some shopping for step-son and his partner is here until Saturday when we take them to Watford, they going for the football while I window shopping and then dinner together so this weekend will be fun so thank goodness I feeling more like myself today. Think I was a zombie Lynda hihi
Love and many hugs to you , Maria Xxxx

Hi Maria so glad you are yourself today & not a Zombie !!!
DeletePleased your feeling better 😘 Have a lovely weekend & hope💉Goes ok Ouch I have one 💉next week Wish Ric a Happy Birthday
Big Hug's for you both xxxx
Hi Sandra and ladies.
ReplyDeleteLots of ooing and ahing this morning at all your wonderful crafty stash. All fantastic. Lynda did you have a trailer with you?
I think Sandra I should call you doctor Sandra. I'll know who to ask first re any health problems ha ha.
Lilian do hope you're feeling tons better today.
Lynda hope your mouth is a lot less sore.
Maria so glad you're feeling ok now. Wish OH happy birthday. Enjoy window shopping and your meal out and have a good weekend.
Nothing much on today. Coffee with a friend in an hour and a meal out tonight. Might sit out in the sun later. Still not making cards.
Lovely card Sandra. Love the stamp and your colouring and the pretty background paper.
Have a good day everyone.
Love Valxxx
Hi Val lucky you being able to sit out in the sun. As usual with a holiday in the U.K. The sun always disappears. I suppose we ought to be grateful it's not raining.
DeleteHi Val yes it didn't take long before my money to run out lot's more goodies I could have bought. I would have loved a Gemini machine but Hay Ho I was pleased with my stash.
DeleteTake care my friend love Lynda xx
Hi Sandra and ladies.
ReplyDeleteMy word Sandra I love your card. The colours are gorgeous. I think Lynda takes the prize today for most shopping bought. I can't say I'm impressed with the white crafters companion glitter card at all. It looks to have a shimmery pattern on it rather that glitter. The other ones I bought from Ally Pally are fine though. Well I'm still coughing well so I'm hoping that my chest X-ray comes back to the Drs today and they give me a ring. Mind you Pete goes to see the Dr today re the medication for his pacemaker.
Cheryl you can guarantee you'll find the cloth you've misplaced for Pete's cushion after you've replaced it. I to am looking forward to the Easter break as all hospital clinics are shut. Whoopie doo. We start again next week. 3 days next week and 2 days the week after. Apart from Tuesday which is Petes appointment for Oncology. He rest is for tests to see if he meets the trials criteria.
Janet I'm glad your enjoying your break.
Hugs to all who need one today especially Lynda.
Meant to say ladies I had a great time with friends last night at Ask Italian in Oxford. I'd arranged with Paula to catch the same bus as her but at an earlier stop. Well he S2 came and I got on. Paula was getting on at the next bus stop. However, the bus I was on went sailing passed the stop, so we waved to each other as I went by. Apparently the S1 which goes through Eynsham was right behind it.
ReplyDeleteHi Pat, so hope your news is good from the docs today. Easter is a definite break for you both with no hospital visits. I'm sure you'll enjoy days of taking it easy.
DeleteGlad you had a good time out last night when you eventually met up ha ha.
Take care. Val xxx
Hi Pat glad you enjoyed your evening with your friends yesterday
DeleteThanks for the Hug's my gums are much better today well till next Tuesday when I have next appointment. Hope you had good news from doctors today. I would have loved to buy a Gemini machine maybe when I win the lottery .
Take care my friend love Lynda xx
No news from the Drs re my cough I'm afraid. Maybe on Tuesday if I'm lucky. It's now 9 weeks of coughing. Getting a tad wearing now.
DeletePat you must be so worn out with coughing for 9weeks. Sending you some gentle Hug's hope you get it sorted soon dear friend
DeleteLove Lynda xx
Hello Sandra and everyone,
ReplyDeleteSandra your card is beautiful, the colours blend and coordinate just perfectly , thank you for sharing this with us. XX
Pat, I just know you're going to enjoy your Gemini, so many extra goodies with it to. I know you are struggling at Farnborough as it was such a good offer, so when that had the same offer at AP it would have daft not to go for it. NOW I HAVE A CONFESSION I bought a Gemini at Christmas time. I was not happy with the machine I had, and getting very positive feedback from everyone about the Gemini. So I treated myself! And am really happy with it.
LILLIAN I hope you are feeling better today. XX
LYNDA, hope your mouth is more comfortable today. Big WOW to all of your lovely shopping. XX
CHERYL, So pleased you were able to pick up the material to make those special cushions, You do realise that the first lot of material will turn up now don't you. XX
MARIA, Hope Ric has a lovely birthday. Best of luck with your blood test. XX
Have a good day everyone, Love Brenda xxx
Hi everyone.
ReplyDeleteWow what a spending spree u ladies have been on.
I'm well jealous lol. Some of those products look amazing. I've never heard of honeydoo stamps so will look them up as they look so pretty.
Lovely card Sandra xx
Hi All, lovely day here, but they have forecast rain for tomorrow, expecting roads to be gridlocked later today, typically they have roads on both main roads into Cornwall.
ReplyDeleteSandra love your card, it's one of my favourite stamps, have to stop myself from using it all the time.
Hope everyone has a lovely rest of the day, and those not well will soon be on the mend, hugs Lilian
Hi Lilian
DeleteYes, the news showed all the main roads were gridlocked so I'm glad we're having a few days at home, as no hospital appointments until a Tuesday.
Sorry forgot to say lovely lot of shopping, especially love Lynda's stamps, can't wait to see what you make with the ladies face, love that stamp.
ReplyDeleteGoodness What a lively lot of stash I was very tempted to buy those Woodware Flower stamps and didn't Wish I had now Maybe September ...
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better LYNDA and LILIAN I found my preemie cardigans so you're bound to find your fabric CHERYL
Your card is so pretty SANDRA and PAT I hope the x-ray comes back fine PAT and you definitely needed to treat yourself You deserved it
No results yet I'm afraid Karen. Perhaps on Tuesday fingers crossed. Saw Dr Hadfield today who got Petes pacemaker sorted. We have to see him every 3 weeks until Petes heart pills go up to 10mg. Has to be done gradually apparently.
DeleteHello ladies, my apologies for going missing again but my Mum had a fall on Monday. She hit her head falling down some steps so after being given the all clear from the hospital she needed me to stay with her to keep an eye.
ReplyDeleteHer eye went many colours the next day and she kept finding extra sore bits. She's taken the dressing off today and says the cut underneath looks quite big but it's all sterile stripped up.
Spent some time with my son who left this lunchtime to go back to Blackpool. Really miss him but that's life. He will be back down in July.
It's been lovely to see all the shopping from Ally Pally etc. I was disappointed that Sue Wilson didn't do a show for Hochanda as I think she is much better than John Lockwood.
Happy crafting to you all x
Hi Lorraine
ReplyDeleteI hope you Mum is feeling much better now. Must have been a shock to have fallen like that. Give her a hug from me when you see her next.
Hi Sandra & all in cafe,
