Well we managed to get up North and stay for Crimbo ,unfortunately due to weather warning on Sunday we deceided to leave day early as Heavy snow forecast for tuesday.Did it arrive nope turned into rain.Still had fab time saw mum who well hadnt a clue waht was going on bless her.The girls had fab time sledging in the snow,as here in this part of Norfolk weve had no snow as yet!
As you all read last week about my grubbie little theifs well to top the lot my boiler broke so returned to a cold cold house.Hay ho we shall get there with my wee electric fan heater.As not calling anyone out till tuesday as they are charging oncall rates round here due to the 2 week christmas break!They know what they can do with that!
Now onto Woyww today well it's full of new crafting gooodies yes santa was very kind this year brought me lots of bits and pieces.
The below piccy you can see some my Tim Holtz die,alphabet chipboard tiles,ribbons and at far back you will see a beautiful photo frame made by my dearest friend June.Iam now going to have to find awee photo to put inside of it.The ribbon lying on my desk in a bunch is what June wrapped my presents up in and too nice not to reuse.

Here the below photo shows you a beautiful Vintage postcard kit which can't wait to start play with,also some lovely K & Co christmas die cut images also vintage.So looks like i will be starting my crimbo cards early for 2011!You can just see a blue tin box that is from Stampin Up box full of Hodgepodge hardware.Metal frames brads and allsorts goodies in that tin,ontop some lace. My minstry of sound cd of the 80's.

Now for my bargains yesterday(Below piccy) we went over to Norwich only as warmer outside than in house at moment...lol.Hubby suggested we go to hobby craft as new large store just opened who am i to say no to a craft shop...lol, opposite Morrisons so killed 2birds with one stone did me shopping too.
Well Bargains oh who doesnt love abargain.I found some beautiful Blue Moon charms these were reduced from £5.99 to 99p,so few of them dropped into the basket,then i found some packs of ATC canvas Paper for mere 29p for 10 sheets..so few of those fell in basket too.My next bargain was some clasps been looking for some for while and blow me down on the shelf box full clasps packets of 2 sets for 29p.Just when i thought id finished came across someArtist trading packs.Assorted pack of 2sheets each of vellum bristol,smooth bristol,canvas,textured watercolour and 1 sheet illustration board for mere 49p...yes had to have few .Then i found some packets of adhesive ribbon 6 ribbon lengths all different 29p....So that was my trip to hobby craft.I must say long time since ive been into H/Craft.Normal prices seem very dear especially on some items.Didnt bother me i just stuck to the sale and bargain buckets...So if you have one near you pop along see what you can find in the bargains!

Now the year is nearly at an end and boy will i be glad to see it gone!as im sure some of you also will be .So i would like to wish you a very Happy ,Healthy,Crafty New Year .I will have a drink for all you lovely woywwers.Oh beofre i go i have some candy for you as next week 6th it's my 21st birthday yeah right who am i kidding,anyways im offering all you lovely Woywwers a chance to win some candy.This is different to my surpirse candy on offer on blog HERE

Well that little guy at the top says it all doesn't he? Glad you got away for Christmas, if only for a spell. Looks like some lovely craft booty so that is a good thing! Maybe you can clobber the crooks w/something from there? Here's to hoping we ALL have a fantastic 2011. Best to you and yours Jude!

Marjo said...

Hi Jude,

Happy Birthday to you(read this on the 6th..lol)! My DH has his B-day on the 6th too, unfortunately he will be way older than 21..hehe.

Thanks for the peek and sharing, hugs Marjo #10

Leanne said...

Wow! Thanks for the opportunity to try our luck once again.

What a bugger! Our boiler went, but at least I can nip round to my mum and dad's and get warm that way!

Your desk, though, would make me not care that I was wearing gloves and ten jumpers. It's incredible and I am green with envy.

Good luck with the heat and a warm and happy New Year!
cheers, rachel #15

oneoff said...

Awww Jude, I am so sorry about your boiler. You definitely deserve a break from all the hassle. Whatever happens, you just seem to plod on stoically - I really admire that. Hope the little fan heater is keeping you all warm enough, although I agree that going to Hobbycraft is a fine way to save energy and keep warm. I had my own little sale frenzy there (although no ATCs, hurumph) and have some beautiful stash to start the new year.

Wishing you a Happy, Crafty and Warm 2011,

Think I'll have to pop round to our local H/Craft - haven't looked in there for a while they had no Christmas papers AT ALL!
Hope you get warm soon
Happy New year to you and yours

Ciara said...

Enjoyed reading your post today, although I am sorry to hear about your boiler breaking. They always break at the wrong time don't they?

Your bargains look fab! It's always so satisfying to pick up good deals isn't it? I'm also envious of your new die - that one is next on my list, along with some felt to cut with it.

I'd like to wish you a very happy birthday and all the best for the new year. I've enjoyed chatting to you on WOYWW over the past few months :-)

Deborah Frings said...

Such a lot of wonderful goodies to play with!! Have fun.

Wishing you a happy 2011!

You got some fabulous bargains on Boxing Day. And it was smart to go shopping. I have made a decision to NOT use my central heater this year, heated by natural gas, as it is more expensive than electricity. I am heating the rooms I use with an electric heater. However, I don't have a family, so it's easier for me. I hope your boiler doesn't cost an arm and a leg when you finally get it fixed.

Here's to an awesome New Year and try to keep it stress free. At least you have a loving hubby who will shop in craft stores with you. That's a real bonus! See you in 2011.

Angela Toucan said...

lots of gorgeous stuff, glad you managed to get to family for Christmas. And thank you for more candy.

Be blessed and warm,

Chelle said...

Helen said...

Lovely lot of goodies! Happy New Year.

Carole Campanile said...

Oh look at all those goodies!! I agree, the ribbon that your friend wrapped the gift in is definitely a keeper; its gorgeous. Hope your heating gets straightened out soon.

Happy New Year!!

Elizabeth said...

Lots of lovely goodies and the h/craft bargains are great. Glad you had a few days away for the holiday - if only to be warm. How unlucky are you? It's probably the thefts that has caused your boiler to go on the blink anyway - probably churned up a lot of gunk at the bottom of the tank. I hope the coming year works out a lot better for you so I wish you and yours a Very Good New Year. Elizabeth #57

Twiglet said...

OOOooooo such a lot of lovely Christmas crafty goodies to play with!! Hope you soon manage to get the boiler fixed so that you are warm and cosy again! All the best- Jo

Ohhh Snap said...

Susan said...

Hi Jude,
I can wait for the year to be over. Miss 5 starts school in February and I am now starting to feel a bit apprehensive. Who will I chat to all day? She is more than ready but am I ready to let her go? [Tears in eyes]
Happy final WOYWW for 2010 and Happy 2011!

Serendipity Stamping said...

When you said you had no snow my first thought was - "what do you mean Norfolk was shut down for at least a day as the governor of Virginia asked everyone to stay home." Oh yeah, USA vs. UK, dah. Think I have gone round the bend. Have a great new year and create with joy. #75
