Have been back for 5 days now, and it almost feels like we have never been away! Hate those post holiday blues....
Did a quick trip to Ikea last night, I had run out of storage space for my stash so we picked up lots of lovely little stackable tubs for me to put things in. I had to get clear ones cos otherwise I forget what I have got! Got some nice magazine files too, such a bargain, £1.49 for 5.

No more stash photo's for you tonight - here are a few that a took in Florida....

Expedition Everest at the Animal Kingdom - this was a new experience for us, it wasn't open the last time we went. It was a great coaster, even my Dad enjoyed it!
Some flamingos being taken for a walk at SeaWorld - how bizarre!
And here's Shamu, just after he had soaked everybody in about the first 20 rows of the stadium! We were clever, we sat at the back!

Scrap Shop Heaven!

Some more piccies for you - this time I thought I would show you some snaps of the extremely fabulous Scrapbook Boutique on Sand Lake Road. I asked the (very friendly!) staff if it was OK for me to take some piccies so I could tell people how fabby the shop was, and they said I could go right ahead......

Crop space at the back of the shop......and check out all that bazzill!
Lots of scrapbooks.......
Tons of American Crafts and MM paints......

Waaaaahhhh! I wanna go back!
So, if you are planning a trip to Orlando, Florida in the near future, you HAVE to visit this store! Start saving now!
I'm back from a fabulous two weeks in Florida, and I thought I would share the most important pictures with you first - the stash, of course! I visited Micheals, Joannes, Tags 'n Stuff in Kissimmee, and the Scrapbook Boutique at the Florida Mall (the best scrapbook shop I have EVER visited!), and this is what I came back with. Good job we had extra baggage allowance!


Basic Grey Magnetic Precision mat and a rather scrummy scrapbook from WDW.Technique Tuesday chipboard "Technique Tiles" and clear stamps, American Crafts thickers and stickers, Autumn Leaves clear stamps.Elsie's 52 scrapbooking challenges (they had only just unpacked these - I nabbed it off the counter!), and some magazines.Lots of paper and cardstock!Slight button overload....but they are sooooo purdy.... Prima Minnie cans in two different colours....
Making Memories "Clears", shapes, alphas and flowers.
Some eyelets......
........to go with my Cropadile......
Various other alphas - Chip Chatter, K&Co, KI Memories, Heidi Swapp, plus BG chipboard elements.MM grommet tool kit and lots of grommets!Lots of other stuff, Heidi Swapp bling, ghost letters, tape, photo corners.
The whole lot sat on my desk. I think it might keep me going for a bit - what do you reckon?
