A Cuttlebug, a Big Bite, scrapbooking papers, ribbons (and very yummy they are too, Dips), embossing powders, some train decoupage, a Dalek photo sheet that fits a Bookatrix page, boring stuff like tape and foam pads, a post box stamp form the Dimension Fourth stand and a Kanban Penfold Post Box Christmas Concept Card sheet, oh and some die cut black glossy cats for my Mum...

A FEW THINGS!!, hate to see what you get when you buy lots. Seriously though, enjoy your buys, all you need now is somewhere to store them.

Forgot to mention the stack of peel-offs I got as well. :D
I have to admit when I first arrived I thought I would end up with nothing as it was so busy I couldn't get to look at any of the stalls. It didn't help that there was a whole load of husbands standing about looking lost and useless. Once people started getting hungry and went off for lunch it got easier. There was lots and lots of stamps but annoyingly only one stall had a decent range of embossing powders. Bought a great one called 'Red Dragon' - it is red with gold flecks in it. I tried it last night on the Papermania Poinsettia stamp and it looks fab. I got all the scrapbooking papers off one stall. There wasn't much of a selection about if you were after something with a theme rather than just pretty patterned papers. There was a lack of decoupage too - most stalls had stack-its or Michelle Marsden stuff. I don't want to sound disappointed - just wanted to report the trends in the retailers.

Oh Jean that's a shame. You could always do a spot of internet shopping to cheer yourself up. :)
