Goodies I bought on my holidays

Hi Ladies
I hope you are all well, and that some of you are still looking at my blog from time to time, since I haven't been a very good blogger recently.  But hey, we are all busy - right?  Anyway, I have been back from Iowa a week now, and since work has been hectic, and due to prior arrangements, I haven't had the chance to get in the play room.  But today was a different story after my great nieces 4th party.  So after trying to put all my goodies in some kind of order, I managed to make about 7 cards.  I bought some stampin up stuff from the current catalogue, and also a set that I have been wanted for ages that was retired a while ago, The Sound of Joy, that I managed to buy on ebay whilst I was in Iowa, close to my heart stamps, papers & rub ons, martha stewart punches and lots of lovely bits and peices that I just happened to come across.  I also got a new pair of Ugg boots for the winter, and a new duvet coat and a lovely hat - so I prepared for the promised arctic weather.  The boys are on half term, but away on holiday, so maybe I will manage to crack on doing my Christmas cards.  Happy crafting to you all x
