WOYWW #319- The After Happy Stampers Edition (and the Almost Birthday Edition.)

Back from our Happy Stampers trip,and meeting up with some fellow WOYWWers as usual. 😀
You'll probably see almost identical pictures on a few other posts today, as we'll all be linking up at Julias Place, The Stamping Ground, to bare our desks to the world!


Sarah, and Chris (pear shaped crafting)











Neet, who happily managed to get there.







Neet and Heather.

And we'll all be meeting up again at Crop10.






So what came home with me?
Well the first pic is one of the two main items I wanted to get...


 Sweet Poppy are mainly known for their stencils, but they have started branching out into dies for some of the stencils, and stamps. This Dragon stamp set was a must have when I saw it on FB back last week.


And these from Lavinia stamps were my second reason. Crows and wolves, just awesome.




  A couple of Christmas stamps from Honey Doo, and some gorgeous stamps from Crafty Individuals.
 Three more Clair inkpads- like I need more inkpads- a tub of clear dew drop gems, and a few stamps from Inkylicious. I have the larger version of the distressed circle stamp, and thought this one would be great for smaller cards.




 Some stamps from Chocolate Baroque- a new line, and there is also a big Tag stamp that the tall images fit into, forgot to photograph that one.







Showing you those, as what's actually happening on my desk this week is ATC's- I finally have an idea, lol.






And that's it from me, which brings us round to.........And Finally.....

Great pics of the girls at the show, and I look forward to meeting them soon at the crop! Good haul too, love the crows! Helen #?

Sarah Brennan said...

Surprising how a few desks will be showing hauls and meet ups from Port Sunlight isn't it lol? You certainly did well. Looking forward to the 1st June. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #?

Neet said...

One of the most apt quotes I have seen in a while Shaz. You certainly find some great ones but this has to be top of my tree.
Lovely to see you and Doug on Saturday - gosh I look half dressed on that photo. I do have trouble with straps!
Love your haul, you certainly did better than I did and now I am wishing I had bought that hare stamp from CI. I did too much humming and aahing and far too much nattering. Still it is lovely seeing folks and I think that is my main aim at Port Sunny. You can put a price on goodies but not on friendship.
Saying that I am envious of half of the stuff you got, you and Doug are the Dynamic Duo when it comes to shopping. Now just remember about hiring him out for his new job.
Hugs, Neet 6 xx

The And Finally made me lol!! I suspect it applies to all us deskers...... Lovely pics of you at HS, everyone's looking so well. Can't wait to give you a big hug at CropTen!!

Ooh Shaz, what a really really happy post... loved seeing, Chris, (she actually found me on Insta last week 😊) dear Neet, Doug and Heather. So very very grateful I’ve actually met you all in the flesh at the last crop.

The trilogy photo piece you made me of that crop is still pride of place in my kitchen, in clean spot on top of microwave, which mainly warms cooled tea!! 😊 love to look at it and glad you added Julia on it with a Jan since she couldn’t make it.

Those Chocolate Baroque stamps and the beautiful owls are favs... but the imagination has no walls since is a clever and funny set.. esp practising to be good today so tomorrow I’ll be awesome 😆 and soo true re the funny.
Think we’ve all said, how did that get in here!??
Happy WOYWW,

Always lovely to see woyww catching up and having a fun time. I am desperately wanting to paint a raven or crow so I perfectly understand your buying that stash of goodies.

Felix the Crafty Cat said...

Hi Shaz, fabulous collection of stash goodies. So pleased you all had such a good time though well jealous and will be when you all get together for the crop too. My next craft show will be the Dome at Doncaster though I'm sure there is nothing I need Lol! Look forward to seeing what you do with all these new goodies and by the way love the quote too, really made me smile. Hope your woyww is good with plenty of crafty time, Angela x14x

How fun, meeting up with Chris and Sarah! And oh, what finds! Thank you for posting the illusive dragon stamp. Pretty cool, isn’t it. And Lavinia,too! I’d be like a kid in a candy shop! I love the new Chocolate Baroque stamps too! Have a fun week, playing with everything!

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

Wonderful photos of everyone you saw at Happy stampers. I knew Chris was going, so I was glad to see you and she got together. I'll be at the crop in spirit, but not in person, so I expect Doug to take lots of photos (HINT).

You got some awesome stamps. You showed more you bought than I actually own. True story, since I'm not really a stamper. Thanks for stopping by earlier. Happy WOYWW from #2.

Caro said...

Love the photos of you all meeting up and all your lovely goodies. I particularly like the look of the dragon stamp set. I love dragons! Happy WOYWW. Have a great week. With love and God Bless, Caro x (#18)

pearshapedcrafting said...

Annie Claxton said...

hehehe love your And Finally as always, that is definitely a Thing :o) Looks like you have loads of lovely new toys to play with, looking forward to seeing what you make with them. Have a great week! Annie C #11

Heather M said...

Hi Shaz, great photos of a great day! Wow, you did get a lot of goodies! I think Neet is right about hiring Doug out as a personal craft shopper lol. It was great to see you again, I'm looking forward to a proper catch up at the Crop. I love the look of the dragon stamp - I didnt look at Sweet Poppy as I didn't want any stencils, didn't know they had branched out into stamps! Thanks for stopping by earlier, not sure what I will be using the glass mat for - not for cutting I don't think!! Have a lovely week Heather x #7

Heidi MyLittleStampingBlog said...

Those crafty individual owls really catch my eye!

StampinCarol said...

So fun to see pics of gals who do WOYWW! And what a haul of stamps and stuff! WOW! Now... you gotta use them. (That's what I tell a friend who buys stuff but then she tells me she needs to stay home and play.)
Hope you have a wonderful week!

Tracey@Hotchpotchcreations said...

Wow Shaz, it looks like you ticked off everything from your list with your latest stash it all looks fabulous. Lovely photo's of your meet up. What a great day you must have had. Thanks for sharing WoywW Tracey xx

MaggieC (Silvercrafter) said...

Love your comment at the end. It could also be applied to those items which magically disappear after you put them down and then magically reappear after you have turned the house upside down, and then find it exactly where you put it. What a lot of goodies from the show. You will definitely need a couple of removal trucks just for your crafting things. Have fun. xxx Maggie (Silvercrafter) #22

Debbie Rock said...

I had no doubts whatsoever just who would be the one with armfuls of new goodies ... and no blaming Doug for adding stuff to your basket! Love what you got though, I have to say. Take care dear friend. Love Debbie xXx

Twiglet said...

Looking forward to Crop 10! Well done on the photos Doug - lovely to see snaps of you all. xx Jo

Zsuzsa Karoly-Smith said...

So nice to see all these photos, Shaz! It's funny how I now recognise everyone without ever having met any of you! Super new stash too! Thanks for your visit yesterday - of course, I'd like to swap with you! I'm sure I still have your address. See you next week for the big #520! zsuzsa #21
