Another week gone so I'm linking up with Annie on her Stitch in Time blog where she invites us every Friday to share things that have made us smile during the week.
I think I probably smiled a lot this week. It's been very busy but mainly with good things.
I visited my friend Jacky a couple of days ago. She's recovering from a replacement knee operation and I'm sure she'll soon be feeling like a new woman when all the pain has gone.
On Sunday I went to the craft show at Stoneleigh with my friend Wendy where we both spent more than we probably should have. Here is what I came home with plus a lot of double sided tape and other essentials .
We met up with Di who hosts The Snippets Playground challenge and Mrs. A who hosts The Butterfly Challenge. It was wonderful to meet them both in person. We certainly had a good natter and I'm sure I smiled a lot too!
I hope you'll all enjoy a happy weekend.

Brilliant new stash Barb, new creations on the way!!. Pleased to hear you had such a great time and meeting friends, Kate x
How many fab goodies Barb!!
...I always spend too much for crafting, but I'm not alone in blogland ehehe :D But there aren't craft show in my zone, so I buy online and it's less fun!! :) I'm sure that you have had a fab time with Di and Mrs A!!
Hi Barb,
I'd say you have lots of new treats to play with! How great to meet some wonderful new crafters. I met Di several years ago when she and Len were in New Mexico, USA. We got on the minute we saw eachother.
Your friend will be so happy with her total knee replacement. I've had both of mine done now and am so happy I did. The last one was a little over a year ago and it still bothers me a bit but they say it takes about 18 months to fully recover. Tell her to keep up with the physical therapy.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs,
Kay
There's nothing like a bit of retail therapy to put a smile on our faces. Especially crafty goodies for a crafter. Enjoy!
Hugs, Neet xx

Sounds like a good week and lovely to meet crafty friends. You are going to have so much fun with your new stash.
Oh WOW! What a fabulous selection of crafty goodies! You're sure to have lots of fun with them all - can't wait to see what you make. I'm off to a Crafts 4 Crafters show next week with a friend. I hope we can find lots of bargains too. xx
Happy Friday Barbara, wooooow what a super haul, oh you did have fun, now you must use them - that means crafting not housework. Great to catch up with like minded friends and do hope your friend has a quick recovery. Enjoy your weekend hugs Robyn
Looks like a great haul! I know you must have had a great time!

Sounds like a really fun day, Barb!
oooh how fun new stamps/accessories to play with.. That's wonderful. Very happy for you. I always spend way to much when I go to a craft store. I tell myself no, and then some how it just happens.
What a lot of lovely crafting goodies Barb and how great to meet up with Di and Mrs A. I love your make and takes that you showed on a previous post. You obviously had a wonderful time. x
You have lots of lovely new stash to play with now. How wonderful - a craft show and a meet-up with like-minded friends. It is always a tiring day but very rewarding. Sorry i am late visiting this week, but I made it in the end. Kate x
Wow... that IS a lot of stuff!
Glad you had a good time. x
