Once again it is the weekly blog hop that has gone on ... whoah, wait for it ... for 457 weeks ... organised by the great and lovely Ms Julia here. Join in, check out the "crop" at the top of her page and come and meet us, either virtually or in reality.
I hope this does not look like a "set up" desk - I have been sorting my Misti Bag out from weekend (see yesterday's post for a review of new ink pads and other goodies) and putting some of the stamps back that I keep in there, namely my layering stamps. Not got many but have been looking for some dies to go with them because I never got them at the time I bought the stamps.
I have managed to track down a goldfish (Hero Arts) die from the USA but so far have drawn a blank on the others. I so wanted the Fresh Cut peonies and the Fresh Cut Roses dies but they seem to be old and not available. Similarly the one for the bird. I did find a couple of bird dies, one looked as if it could be THE one but I couldn't be sure. Ah well, back to the drawing board as they say.
You can see the fruits of my labour - ie I saw somewhere on the internet that someone put washi tape on her magnets so I am trying it - so far so good - it helps to pick them up - but they still migrate together!
I have an A4 Misti (given to me to demonstrate with by Oyster Stamps a year or so ago) and at the top you can see I now have a mini Misti - courtesy of Iliana, the inventor of the Misti. When she realised (at Creativation) that I didn't have one she told me to come back at the end of the show and I could have a demo one. Fine! Works perfectly as they are so well made. Love it - love them both and can dem with both of them at a show.
Bought myself a Misti bag at Christmas when I bought two others for friends as presents and I love mine. Holds so much. So apart from all of that and the stamps I am trying to locate dies for you can see my Altenew stamps and two sets from Stampin' Up.
Took both my Misti's to the show, on Sunday in Leigh, and my bag too. The bag is so useful, I had my personal things in as well. I was so messed up on my table, lots of products on display that I was using - and that was before I got there - I had lots to put out too so my cards just ended up in two piles (see yesterday's blog for pictures). Enjoyed the show, busy and didn't get a break for lunch but that was my own fault, I could have taken one. Just enjoying myself too much to bother eating. BUT ... guess who I met? Another person with a WOYWW badge. Ok so I let it slip last week she would be there and what a lovely WOYWW'er she is. Here is .... ta da da dee ... Heather1

So that is it for this week. I hope to see as many of you as possible but if I miss some of you out I will play catch up when I come back from Tenerife (squeal). Yes, am off for 4 days of sunshine, I hope, as part of my birthday celebrations - not a special birthday but following big hints that it is always cold when it is my birthday and we go off for a weekend. Shame as I will miss Mother's Day as well this year (taking my card with me) but hopefully will have the two consecutive days resting, reading and in the sunshine.
"That's the way to do it Mr Punch" - see you later!
