A Crafters Paradise.......or maybe not.

Crowded,crowded,crowded..........Hobbycrafts at the NEC......... 100s and 100s of crafters.....shopping,shopping,shopping.......and the pic is early before most people got there........so why are craft shops up and down the country closing...........is it because we prefer to go to big exhibitions where there is sooooo much choice...... are we shopping more and more online........I no longer have a craft shop in my town........have a half hour journey to Bexhill for basics...... or well over an hour to the fabby Craft Barn for a really good selection...... no wonder I love Ally Pally and loved the NEC.......but we need to use our local craft shops if they are going to survive.......and I do try and do that for basics.......but there's so much I can't get near home........and the bargains at the big shows are soooooooooooo tempting........I didn't go too mad.....credit card still intact........and I do now have enough copic colours......so no excuse not to use them........apart from my ineptness,of course!!!

And thank you so much Shimelle for telling us there is an updated Blogger Editor.......why didn't Blogger tell me...........what a pain in the arse he is.......cause now I can move my pics to where I want them ..........instead of where Blogger shoves them!!!!!!! Well......I think I can......need to play a bit.

No time to play with my new and gorgeous goodies today........hope to be back tomorrow with some actual craftiness.
