Craft Show Visit & Haul

Ooooooh I LOVE crafty stash shopping!  It's like a chocolate high but you don't get the crash afterwards as you've got lots of goodies to play with for weeks or months on end.  :D  So I visited the Aintree show on Friday and got some great deals.  I always try to go around all the stalls first with my trusty notepad and pen writing down the prices of things I'm looking to get.  I usually have an idea of what I want through blog hopping and checking out some challenge blogs too.  While I'm mooching around the stores comparing prices I'm also checking out what else they have that catches my eye and how much that is too.  Sometimes it can be quite difficult getting around everywhere and then trying to get back to the best price places without getting either a bit lost or potentially missing out on some items.  If I see something I like though and there is only one left then I will tend to get it.
Anyhoo so this trip I got some buttons and ribbon, 12x12 paper storage boxes (that will hopefully fit into my new Ikea Expedit unit!), a bunch of punches (2 gorgeous EK Success ones, a Martha Stewart branch and some standard circle and scalloped circle punches), LOADS of Nesties that were on offer including a beauty Fleur De Lis rectangle.  Also got some Bazzill paper, coloured Stickles and some Stamp Barn stamps.  I was hoping that the Lili of the Valley team would be there but no such luck.  Guess I'll just have to buy some of their new male stamps online (oh darn!).
I'll post a pic of my stash later this weekend (EDIT - done, see below!) when fingers crossed there will be some better light.  It's a bit miserable looking today so there isn't a lot of light out.  It's ridiculous isn't it that it's the third week of May and I'm having to put on my scarf and hat again?!  Tsk.

Anyhoo I will hopefully also have a couple of cards to post over the next two days as it's my Mom's birthday this week and I've also started to have a play with my recently(ish) purchased Greeting Farm stamps and new paper stash.  Yay!!

(This is my work in progress Travel Anya!)
Hope you're well.
