Stampin’Up acrylic stamp sets…..
Phew did you get to the end??? It is a really good thing that Stampin’Up had retired a huge amount of colours etc….. so I could make room for all this crafting goodness in my cupboards etc… My only problem now is I have no idea where to start with it all. I haven’t stamped in 7 weeks, and so I just know I will be rather rusty at first, so you will have to bear with me 
Really a BIG THANKS goes to all the people who bought items from my Mega Stash sale off a few weeks back, because all their purchase money allowed me to buy these new things, otherwise there was NO WAY i could have……so Thank you~!!!
The other thing I came home with was some Willowtree ornaments… if you know me well you know I love these willowtree’s and there are some brand new ones out i haven’t seen before. Rod bought me this one because I said I really loved it……
Then I bought these next four because they so remind me of my own four children from number one down….
Adorable aren’t they!!!
Oh and then i saw these two adorable babies!!! so sweet and precious, i just had to add them to my collection. I even had Rod suggest I add them to my real life collection…….LOL!
And then last of all another passion of mine……M.A.C. make-up…..it is delicious and such a fabulous product! It is half price over there, and it would be sill of me not to take advantage of that right? I came home with some new fun colours and products which I look forward to playing with…….
Love my new little stash of make-up goodness…..
So yeah one spoilt rotten little cookie here, and I can’t wait to share with you all that I get up to with it all……
Have a goodie!
OMG. WOW….I wish I can spend a day in your craft room. I’m glad you had heaps of fun.

Good gookamookus! What a load of stuff. I wouldn’t know where to start either. It’s like Christmas in July for you, isn’t it! Have fun!
Wowzers!!! This is certainly a HUGE HUGE HUGE pile of goodies.
When you get back into stamping you’ll probably find it hard what to choose something to make with soooo many wonderful things.
Very envious, but can’t wait to see your creations!
Great stash Keesh, i m sure with your wonderful MOJO we will be seeing some gorgeous creations in the future.
Good to have you all home safely.
Lots luv

Hi, Keesh
That magazine pile? Take the second mag from the top (Card Creations vol. 8), open it to page 14 (if my memory serves me right), find the red chandelier card and look at the designer’s name at the top of the page…
Cindy
How fun!!!! I recently participated in a LSS Garage Sale and know exactly how you feel because I can now buy some new goodies too. PTI Turning a New Leaf was top of my list LOL! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy playing with all you new goodies!! Wish some of them were mind LOL!
OMG!!!! What a pile…Love it…Cant wait to see what you can do with it all. Loved keeping up on your journey. Glad you had a safe and wonderful time
OMG! That is amazing!
Y’know, my favourite daydream is to go to the US for a week or so so I can go to a US Stampin’ Up! party, place a Papertrey order that I don’t have to pay hideous postage on and go shopping at Michaels and Joann’s for some punches - I don’t ask for much.
It looks like you have lived my day dream - can’t wait to see your creations but where oh where do you start!
What an awesome collection of goodies Keesh. Can’t wait to see what amazing creations you whip up for us with these!
Your Willowtrees are all beautiful too - love your little “family”.
OMG keesh….you are one very lucky lady!!! beautiful stash…
the new in-colours and rest of SU stuff are gorgeous. can’t wait for the new catty!
Also…can’t wait to see what creationS u come up with all those stuff….

Jeane
Wow!!! I am so passionate about Papertrey Ink products but I have a long way to go to catch up to your collection!! Also wish I had all of those Copic markers - LOVE colouring with them. Enjoy your crafting time and can’t wait to see what you make with the Papertrey stamps
Kerry
OMGosh you lucky thing! Some beautiful stuff there. Wow that puts a good spin on your “excess” luggage!… hope they weren’t too hard on you at the airline check-in. Can’t wait to see what you create…. but it will be amazing as always!
wow!!!! one of your suitcases must have been full to the top with just your stash. It would be silly to be over there and not take advatantage of the cheaper prices and not having the postage. It looks like you have a years worth there to now play with. Looking forward to seeing what you make with all this. have a great time
Andrea
Yep…definitely an obscene amount of stuff. That being said, I’m taking an extra suitacse along when I go home to Canada at Christmas for the exact same reason. Tee-Hee!
OMG not wonder you had sooooo much luggage coming home!! Glad to see you have a fabulous holiday and home you make it into your craft room soon to play with your new goodies!
Hi Keesh,
Wow how exciting that is a lot of crafting goodies, what fun you will have using it all, can’t wait to see what you make. Have fun finding homes for it all and playing. Do you know you can subscribe to the Papercrafts American magazine and have it delivered to your door at a very reasonable price too.
Enjoy
OMG! I am so envious…..
Can’t wait to see all your creations….get stampin’ girl!
Oh wow Keesh how special… I am so jealous… I hope you have so much fun with them… can’t wait to see what you create with it all… enjoy
Hooley Dooley Keesh!! That’s a very impressive shopping spree! Can’t wait to see all the fabulous things you get up to with it!
Wow! You had me drooling at the first pic of all those yummy buttons… thanks for all the pics Keesh, can’t wait to see what you do with ALLLLL those goodies! Glad you are all back safe & sound
Good Lord woman, you could open your own store with that lot! Good for you
Only trouble is now that you’ve so flippin’ far away, play dates are an impossibility. Boo to that!
Loved following your travels on FB and glad you had such a blast!
S x
Wow - wow - wow
Wow you have done some serious shopping I am just a tad jealous OK a lot jealous Can’t wait to see what you create.
I am heading to the States in September so I had to show my hubby all your purchases hoping to soften the blow because if I can come back with at least 1/4 or maybe1/2 I would be absolutely stoked.
oh wow what a fantastic collection!! I’ve recently become a PTI addict too so I’m excited I have some of the same stamps and dies as you! And I’ve also become a Copic marker lover. And I love MAC makeup too! Looking forward to seeing what you create!!
OMG!!! Im still drooling!! Oh how I wished we lived closer heheh.
I just ordered some paper from papertry ink last week! And ooooh the su cattys would LOVE to flip through one of them!
OOOOOOOOOOOh and the makeup very nice!!! I just had a makeup lesson yesterday with INGLOT and learnt how to blend really cool eyeshadows was soo good.
Kristy xx
Holy smokes!!! I am sooo jealous! You rocked the PT!
ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That stash is freakin’ FANBLOOMINTASTIC!!!!!!!
and at the risk of repeating someone else’s comment (there were so many I didn’t read them all! Lol!) Your “new stash” equates to my ENTIRE collection!! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Can’t wait to see what you come up with, with all these GORRRRRRRRJUS morsels!! Aaaaaaaand I too think those itty bitty Willow Tree ornaments would look FAB in your “real life” collection *giggles* 
Sooooo excited you were able to spoil yourself and SO SO GLAD you shared them with us!
Get betterer real soon *hugs*
Luv Ju xo
Just been drooling over all your new stamping goodies. Now I hope you get some time to give them all a workout now that you are home…
Whoa! That’s all I can say. I’m in shock/envy.
Welcome back!
Whoa! that’s a huge stash! Ur case must have weighed a ton! Hope you have heaps and heaps of fun playing with all the new goodies and I can’t wait to see what you make
WOW!! Keesh good on you for spoiling yourself, sometimes as mums we take the back seat and the kids always come first and we go without… that was me for all the years that our 4 were growing up, now that they have all grown and left home, and they have their own little family thing happening its my turn, it was hard to do at first but now I love it. You enjoy your new goodies, I hope you are feeling lots better soon. Migraines are the pits, I wouldn’t wish them on anyone, they are so cruel. I have had them for well over 45 years, they have been really bad the last couple of weeks, stress brings some of mine on, we have a 26 y/o daughter with a life threatening tumour just diagnosed, so I have had some dooozies, but I feel good tonight, and am encouraged to stamp after seeing all your new goodies! Take care. xx
Hi ya Keesh
Thanks so much for for the close ups of your wonderful new stash!!!! What are you going to play with first??!!! That would be the hardest decision for me.
Hope you get better soon! I know what you are feeling I have a throat and chest infection and every cough makes my head explode!!!!!! Not literally!!!!!
Take care
Michelle S
Hi Keesh, I am soooo envious! Good for you! I just love Papertrey Ink and Stampin Up products - and the US range is just amazing. I cant wait to see all your creations!!!!!
Wow oh Wow!!! did you need another suitcase to bring it all back?? far out! That is so exciting. I can’t wait to see all the new brads and buttons. I just can’t get over how much you got - you go girl!
