Shopping

Not done any crafting for a couple of days - been shopping instead.  Here are some of the crafty bits on Suze's blog - courtesy of Michaels:

Spent a fortune at Michaels yet again and introduced Jo and Carol to Bev Mor's which is the most fantastic booze shop ever.  They have some really expensive bottles of wine but it is the spirits that are fascinating.  The bottles are fabulous and just calling out to be bought, emptied (by any means) and altered.  Trouble is they are quite expensive.  Maybe if I go again I will take some photographs.

This is a bit of a catch up as the day before (Tuesday?) we went out with Mary and visited three craft shops.  This is the workroom in one of them - quite something isn't it?  What about that lounge area?  It was lovely to go in and meet up with someone who worked there from Lincolnshire of all places.  We had a lovely chat about "good old England" but she would never dream of moving back there - who can blame her!  Weather, standard of living - no comparison.

They had some terrific samples on show, as had the other stamp shop we went in, and it was very inspirational.

The real reason for my blogging is to say a BIG THANK YOU to Nicola (Sunshine Girl) for giving me the Magical Blog (see Tinkerbell to the right) on Sunday last.  I did upload it but now have to pass it on to seven other people so I am giving it to

I enjoy visiting these blogs so much, they give me so much pleasure and inspiration that I think they need some recognition and I think they will like that cute little button.  Hope so.  It was not easy to limit things to seven people so I hope nobody feels left out.

I also received another blog award yesterday from Cardarian and need to nominate some people for that one.  Think I will leave that for tomorrow (American tomorrow) if nobody minds.
