So we are on our way to the Hobbycraft's Christmas Crafts Show at the NEC in Birmingham, and I cannot wait to get there!
Like many people, I save the money I have made from cards I have sold to spend on replenishing stocks, but for this show I am also lucky enough for my Mum and my husband to give me my Christmas and birthday money early (that's when having a birthday two days after Christmas comes in handy!) to have a really good, guilt free spending spree on whatever I need, or just plain want!
I am travelling up in a coach from the Island with other, like minded crafters, and we will no doubt be comparing things bought on the trip back later this evening. The nice thing is to see the diversity of goodies people buy as we are not all into the same crafts, and it can be interesting to talk to people about other crafts and perhaps vow 'to give that a go one day'.
I tend to do this trip alone as I find the show is so large, I selfishly just want to wander around and look at things I want to without worrying about boring, or holding up, somebody else. I would never ask my husband to come with me, and he wouldn't want to go! If he came, I would be whisked around the entire venue in about an hour and, if I stopped to look at anything, would be asked if I really needed that? To which, like many of you I know, is usually 'no, but I want it!'
I will update you later as to what I bought and the new and interesting goodies that were on offer, and for those that have already been, or are still to go, please tell me what you bought and what you thought of the show.
