Its a big weekend for craft shopping in Scotland, with the twice a year show at Glasgow SECC there are many crafty shoppers about. I had planned the trip down to Glasgow, especially keen to catch up with Gayle from the sugar bowl and baby Maya, but its not to be.
So today I hitched a lift from DH and went to Aberdeenshire, first stop the paper mill where I bumped into Fiona one of our loyal sugar addicts, then off to see my good friend Jacqui in Alford to stock up on yummy SEI 12" papers and Stamping Bella's. Last stop at Funkykits where Mark was flashing his stash of new stamps from USA, I could not resist the new set from Greeting Farm (O Happy Day)
and as I am totally useless at resisting a bargain I had to have the big bumper Spring kit from CC Designs.
As DH sat in the car peeping the horn (yes we all know its best to leave men at home when shopping) as sure sign that my time was up and my day was over.
Now I have all weekend to play with my new stash and I am sure that you too could have a little crafty time this weekend. Tonight I have to work on some Easter makes for my kids school and tomorrow I have to host a little dinner party with friends before lambing gets into full swing and I don't see DH until it ends. *rolls eyes*
Have a great weeked girls and for those of you who did get to the SECC, what did you buy?

Hi Mum...
Maya and I weren't at the SECC either...a slight problem with some 'fallen arches' can't walk the length of myself at the moment!
Therefore I didn't buy anything...although there is always t'internet!!!
Maya and I hope to see you (and that English woman) VERY soon!
Much love
