we went.. we saw... we...... conquered!

We went we saw.. we touched... we bought... we walked out almost dead on our feet and totally exhausted!!!

Paperific would not be the same.. If i was not there shopping with my bestie.

All i can say at this point is.... I LOVE MY TAX MAN!!!!! I got the best surprise in my mail box yesterday.. and just in time for today..
We did the touchy feely thing... and... errrmmm... bought about 70% of what we actually touched... wandered... chatted some more {yep... after yesterday we STILL could find things to talk about!} did the only two make and takes that were worth doing.... and caught up with Miriam. {what a trooper... what a star... } She is so patient... instead of complaining that we were taking to long everywhere we stopped, she would go off on mini little expeditions by her self... source the bargains... spend a little of the national budget and then come back and share where she found her finds... and then show us... wait for us.. and help us spend even more of the budget. Talk about having a nose for the things i was looking for!!! She even found the perfect cardstock to use on my circle journal... im so excited and actually cant wait to get started on it! Im not going to give anything away at the moment... though i will say this... oooooooooooh.... totally divine!!!
{will take a piccie and share my new stash later}... new ribbons... - maya road, making memories, american crafts ... {like i need more.. but can i just say... YUMMI!}.... sasssafrass lass loot. {aka this purchase sees me now owning i think the majority of all their collections}... making memories papers....some of the new Making Memories clear stamps...{very delish}... some purdy coloured fine glitters to use when i get my SLICE {i cant wait.. only $23 left on the layby}....a cosmo cricket "blackboard" mini album, totally gorgeous maya road cupcake and owl coaster albums, maya road chippy letters, cardstock, KI lacey cardstock... tape... and im sure a zillion other things that i just cant remember at this point..

I think Cathy was a little put off, or.. atleast thrown though with the ammount of people that stopped her and said "I know you!" "Where do i know you from!?"... We discovered later that these people could have only known her through published work of mine, which has her face on it... Im sorry if you got embarrassed darlin... though i knew you would be famous one day!!!!

Now... though... if you dont mind... my glass is empty and i believe requires a refill and there is a glorious sunset that im going to go enjoy with my famous friend!
