TGIF

Yesterday was non stop. I dropped Ryan off at a pickup point, then Rocky and Ruby at Doggy Daycare then picked up my friend Gayle... Mrs Teddy Bo herself ... and headed off to the SECC. We were chatting so much we missed our exit but eventually got our bearings (no pun intended Gayle!) and found our way back :-D
 
Once upon a time I would leave the craft show layden down with bags and an extremely empty bank account but I was super good yesterday (or maybe I just have everything lol) and only spent about £25 at the show. It was very crowded at some stands and as CW was only 5 minutes from the SECC we headed there afterwards to shop in peace!
 
I posted on LCI's FB page I was going and anyone who saw me was to grab me and say hi. Well it didn't take long before I was grabbed by my lovely friend Val who I hadn't seen in at least 2 years. It was great to catch up and we've agreed to meet up more often.
 
These are the goodies I came home with including 2 of the Grand Nesties I wanted....
 
 

Bazzill cs, Grand Nesties, Art Institute glue, snow, iridescent glitter chunks, shaker cups and mounts, 3 Copics, Sizzex embossing folders and a mini aperature box card kit from Papermania. I'm going back with Suzy Q tomorrow as she had childcare issues and I might just pick up a punch I was lusting after!

After CW I dropped Gayle off (non stop talking again but car was on on auto lol), picked up Ryan, came home. Nic came over and we talked wedding invitations for a couple of hours. Picked up dogs, went to CB, home, cooked dinner for hubster, picked Sadie up, went to Equi's for dinner and a pokey hat, went to Rosso for a coffee, back to Sadie's to do some odd jobs ie attach phone to wall, change her clocks back, back in the car, call BFF for chat and arrive home at 10:30 in time to walk dogs then get to bed! Thankfully I don't have too many days like that lol.

Still on the theme of Oh Baby, I made this card for my friend whose daughter had a baby girl last week....



I used my fabby new JT (no problems so far!) and my Grand Scallop Nesties






Marvellous Mushroom felt could be called Krafty Mushroom as it's a perfect match :-D



Thought I'd show you where I 'signed' it on the back.

Since I never got a chance to play yesterday I'm leaving this short (phew says you lol). I hope you have a great weekend.

Remember you only have a few more days left to get the SOTM for 1/2 price!!

Thanks for stopping by...

Catch ya later x

A wonderful card, Kerry - gorgeously sweet! Love the way you've done the sentiment too!

Wish I could come shopping with you honey!

I would love to know what stand you got the Grand Nestabilities from as they are normally around £30 each so to get all that for £25 must mean they were MUCH cheaper than normal ???

Beautiful Kerry - loving the Grand Nesties - I wonder whether I can justify asking John for ANOTHER die-cutting machine - maybe sell my cricut as I can't think the last time I used it......
Maybe you could start selling the die-cuts ??!! Xx
