So i went shopping...

I went to a little shop the other day...a little shop that you can walk around for hours and still not see everything...it sells. sewing stuff, material, beads, scrapbooking, cardmaking, buttons, trims, ribbons...little drawers of just stuff..that you would never find in a normal scrapbooking shop...so i did a bit of damage to my wallet...i picked stuff up put it down and ended up with a nice pile.

this is transparency...you saw it on my card this week...it is beautiful and glittery and i only bought ONE SHEET!!!! not sure why...i am going to have to go back and buy another...seriously pretty...

Some pearls and some smaller tags which i have been after for ages...

Some pretty trims.....there where so many to choose from i could have spent hours just looking though them all...

there where so many buttons there...seriously hundreds of tubes and you can buy them individually...again could have spent alot just on them...

And lastly....the things that caught my eye and i bought them then and there...

these are little CUttlebug dies...they work in the Cuttlebug and they are gorgeous and i mean gorgeous...they emboss as well...

i used them on fridays card...seriously lovely...so pleased i found these!!!!

Next off i want to say thankyou for all the comments and tons of emails that i get on here...you have no idea how much these all mean to me...seriously...i used to worry about the projects that i put up...would people like them? should i have used another colour or added more? but you guys make me feel every project that i do is special and i thankyou for that, i really do...

Also to answer another question...why do i not put personal stuff on here...there are a few reasons for this...1...i did used to on my other blog...My son suffered from stress and anxiety...sometimes his life was unbearable...i got told ( by email from people who didnt have the balls to put their name to their email) and comments from people in real life...saying that all his problems were my fault...yeah! that was a barrell of fun reciving comments like that... what is he like now? Better, no problems at all...

2.THis is a scrappy blog...not a personal one..though i may start a personal one...hmmmm i will think on that one a bit more...

But i have a had a few requests to know a bit more about me...so here are a few bits...

1) i am 34 years old...if i could insert a shock smiley here then i would...how did i become 34...how old are you when you become a grown up!!!!

2) I used to work full time...I used to be a supervisor in a baby room...ages 3mths to 2 years...i covered a maternity leave...to be honest i hated working full time...dont get me wrong i loved the babies...what could be better then hugs all day  long ( if you ignored the screaming!!!! lol) but it meant no time for scrapping, my husband and my son.

3) I have a huge amount of medical problems...seriously i cannot even list them all here...but currently they just keep coming...apparently my body didnt cope well with being pregnant, and i am paying for it ever since.

4) As per my post a few months ago...i cannot have anymore children...i have come to terms with that...to be honest i have  no desire to have anymore...I have worked with children since i was 16 years old...so i am all children and babied out!!!!!

5) I have one brother and two sisters...all of which have done amazing things...my brother is a big deal in a big company in London...my younger sister is a lawyer..she starts a new job in September...working for a law firm who dealt with Princess Lady Diana and works with the Formula One Racing companies...so very proud of her. My older sister is an inspiration ( i have to say that as she reads this blog!!!!) seriously she owns a nursery and a school...both amazing places!!!!

6) Lastly I had a whirl wind romance with my husband...he is from scotland and says weird things like aye and wee!  We met...fell in love and moved in with each other within 4 months of meeting...we both needed somewhere to live so why not!!! We then got married under a year later...people thought we were moving too fast...but here we are 9 years later...happy...psssst also he is my toy boy as he is 4 years younger than me!!!!

I just recently found your blog and I must say that your cards are beautiful! Love that you shared your goodies you purchased. I love the buttons! I would have bought a ton of them!

Hi Wendy, I completely understand about not posting the personal stuff on a blog. Having your blog dedicated to scrapbooking is something you enjoy and makes you feel good. It's good to connect with others who share the same hobby. Plus, we love to see what you make everyday because it makes your viewers (me included) feel good too. Keep doing what you're doing!

Wendy, you are so awesome! I will be praying for your health. I didn't even notice you don't put personal stuff on here. I guess I learned your personality through your art. It's beautiful and I can tell you are a beautiful person as well. My husband (11 years) and I became engaged two weeks after our first date. Love is love.

Ha ha Wendy, you are funny, about your romance. So cute. And just so you know, we all love you to bits no matter what you tell us or not. You are very talented and I enjoy seeing everything you post on here. You are seriously a great inspiration. And I give you credit. It's not easy to balance your personal life and your work life with (of course) your creative life. I think it's something that we all struggle with. But even said, you still never let us down. When you say it's gonna be posted on this day....it always is... We luv ya Wendy keep up the great work!
