The NEC - or shop till you drop :)

I had a wonderful day at the NEC today, spent too much, got lots of inspiration and a few bargains too - I'm still in disbelief about buying most of the new Distress Ink colours at £3 each - woo hoo!
I travelled up with Val, met Viv and Maureen and had a great time, here are the three desperadoes taking a short break from saving the economy by selflessly buying as much stash as could be carried:
Of course I did all I could to help them in their mission...
I got some amazing Hobby Art stamps of seaside scenes, some calorie free cupcake stamps from Elusive Images and a few other things I just couldn't do without. Towards the end of the day I saw this lady sitting in the aisle near Stamp Addicts. She was taking a well-earned rest, I have no idea who she is but I like her style, that looks like some serious shopping LOL!
