What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday

As I spend most of my crafting time and pennies indulging in lovely Stampin' Up goodies, it's not very often that I get other things.  On Saturday, however, we ended up going to a big Abakhan in North Wales, as my husband needed some odds and ends to finish making me a bag, and there was a small papercrafting section there.  There I was, unsuspecting victim walking round, when three stamps just leapt into my basket.  Shocking, I know!  I had a lovely mooch around the ribbons up in the fabrics bit and as a lot of it was 60p a metre, I indulged in a few bits and bobs there too!


I don't know if you can see the ribbon properly. There's one with pink VW campervans on it and the blue one has rows of beach huts.

There are a couple of other things on my desk.  In the middle is a packet of die cuts shapes from the lovely lady at My Little Crafty Corner.  Towards the left is a marvellous gift that was a complete surprise, sent all the way from the mountains of North Carolina by the lovely Sandy.  How on earth she knew I liked cats, I'll never know... ahem...!  Thank you very much, my friend!

Happy WOYWW everyone!  (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, visit Julia's Stamping Ground which is where all the fun begins.)

Thanks for visiting,

  4. wow, Victoria, am not sure what I did with my comment as had done one and now it is gone - popped up to read more of your post... so if there is a half done one by me - am sorry - now as was saying, before I was so rudely interrupted by myself :D, I love that ribbon yes would have grabbed the lot from big Abakhan in North Wales too had I been there with you!!
    Esp the lot with the beach huts, went mad in the store at Manchester when over there but did not see it - now I did buy there the Michael Powell beach hut set stamp ,it is on Ros C.s desk today if you want to know what it looks like.

  7. Fabulous goodies and it's strange how things jump into your basket quite unexpectedly isn't it?

  8. Mad how that happens when crafty stuff just leaps into your basket!!! does seem to happen to me everytime I go into a craft shop and funnily enough online too!!!. Very lush set of stash babes. The campervan ribbon is the same as the one I have and I got it in pink and blue. I didn't get it as cheaply mind you as mine was 99p a metre but I just had to have it. Love those stamps. Thanks for sharing lovely. Hope school is going good. Big hugs Clare xxx

  10. Be still my beating heart! They look remarkably like Michael Powell stamps!!! Well of course they would just jump into your basket. Those stamps have very powerful legs you know - one just lept at me last time I was out! Lovely ribbon choices too. Can't wait to see what you do with them. Hugs, Buttons #114

  12. Ooh, lovely ribbons and at such a bargain price too. I've been similarly afflicted by mysteriously appearing stamps ... seams they just have to come home with me. I'm sure you are going to make gorgeous cards with those Michael Powell stamps. Happy WOYWW, hope you have a lovely week. Elizabeth x #90
