Behave...

[Pixiefish]

I'm off for a couple of days.

To the Hobbycraft show in Birmingham...

Will be back on Tuesday although I may try to pinch dh's laptop over the weekend to log in.

Have a nice weekend xx

Buy some stash for me
Have fun !

Have a great weekend PF...wish I was going, just really really busy atm and couldnt spare the time :(
So

We're staying at the Hilton and it's lovely. dd fast asleep and dh off for a cappuchino and a fag so I've pinched his laptop for 10 mins.

I am soooo excited about tomorrow especially as dh is going to entertain dd so that I can really have a look.

Typical! I'm off to birmingham oh yes.... to visit an extremely sick friend in hospital

I am so jealous of you

I spoke to PF earlier.... she tells us to behave and then goes and has a spending spree..... I will let her tell you what she's bought but I am very

PF has spemt FAR too much

But I've got a suitcase full of stash and want to get home now to play with it.

Loads of lovely stuff there- nothing really cheap as it wasn't a trade show BUT some fairly good offers.

We only managed 4 hours as dd wouldn't stay with dh and she was really hot and bothered.

Had dd in the ergo on my back most of the time so it was fairly stressful- not a place to go with kids really but I had no option as I don't have anyone that could have her.

She loves the swimming pool here though and hopefully tomorrow we'll go for a dip before heading off to the zoo before the long drive home

pixie are you able to answer your phone?

Am home safely. We went to Dudley zoo today and promptly turned round in the car park. Maybe we had the wrong entrance but it looked tiny, just a couple of sheds. So we set off home and stopped at Colwyn Bay zoo on the way after detouring to the Paper Mill in Cheshire Oaks (not a lot there today)

Come on Pixie - what did you buy ??

All sorts Whizz- Chisel it, small tidy tray, punches, stamps, wooden letters and shapes, ribbon, metal embellies, buttons, jump rings, ink, chalks, embossing crystals, 2 red sizzix dies and stuff they owed me,prima blossoms, lumiere paints, renart pen kit, scrapbook, cardstock, foam stamp alpha, friendly plastic, crafts beautiful grab bag

spent hours looking and stroking it lol.

Have put it away now and love using it.

Met the RC shop staff and they're lovely. I got some dies that I'd ordered and had only just come into stock before the show- Mags gave me them at the show.

Ellison had a demo stand there. Create and craft had a bus there, \Alan and Barry had a massive crowd on their stand, Joanna Sheen was lovely, really 'smiley' person.

Well worth going to

Although Alan & Barry scare me !

didn't go near them myself- too much of a crowd

They're fab!!!

one has 2 colours - you have to write at about 55 degrees.

the other type- you stuff one end into the other part of the pen aned leave for a minute or two. this changes the colour but only for a few strokes so you can have graduated change of colour

Sounds very technical !

ummmm RC had dies at the show BUT not ones Ive had on order since Jan!!!!

mmmm They may well have been there- mine were!!!! tbh was a bit annoyed but swallowed it and she gave them to me as soon as i asked. She told me that the container is on its way with the next batch and should be here in a week and a half.

I'd ring them if i were you jm- you may find that they have them left over from the show.

The guy doing the demo was fab HF- loads of ideas. Did she get you the book and the stencils as well?

If not I could scan them on my pooter and email them to you
