The Craft and Hobby show that is usually held in Birmingham and Glasgow has a new venue at Bluewater in Kent and I decided to visit to see what is would be like in comparison. There were a few teething problems - I don't believe the lifts were used to carrying so many people in one go! *Ü*
As it was new to the area, there weren't a lot of people that turned up on the first day of the show! However,
that did make for more comfortable shopping.
Here is what I bought...
on the £1 stand were different chipboard word albums...I bought a few 'Family' ones and one each of the other 3 as well as 4 chipboard tags.
Various 6x6 scrapbook pads...3 at £6 each and 1 at £6.99
More from the £1 stand...clear stamps and what I thought were stamps, are embossing plates.
A Martha Stewart punch for £10, Claudine Hellmuth medium and 2 little papier mache books - one fits into the other.
...and some pearlised card and black cards with envelopes - for £2 each.
There were other £1 items that I bought that were bargains too. How do they do it?
So I had a really enjoyable day and am looking forward to going back in September. See you there. *Ü*
