Been shopping again!! It's a bad habit that I just can't stop!!

Well I know I shouldn't, but well, it is the last day of my holidays, back to school on Monday, so what better way to beat the back to work blues than go shopping! After some tempting posts on UKS big store deals, I drove over to the Qvc shop to hopefully find some deals :) See below for my naughty stash :P 
 Got to be honest and say this first purchase isn't normally my cup of tea, not a great kanban buyer, but the prints are quite cute, and I haven't got anything like it so thought I might have a play with it. It's the Db-Spring Woodland kit and was £11.87, but in my defence there is a lot in it :)
 This one is more me really, a set of lovely Pearl Lustre embossing powders by Stampendous (5 in pack) and "Ranunculus Field" Stamp, for £7.35. They seem pretty similar to my cosmic shimmer blacks, which I love, so will get used easily.
 Set of Anna Griffin 12x12 papers, some really beautiful metal embossed papers, and some plain prints. Got to be honest and say if I'd bought the plain prints at full price, I would have been annoyed as the paper quailty is surprisingly poor for AG. The embossed prints are much better. Can't really moan for £7.86.
 Pack of rainbow organza ribbon, nearly bought this from a show a while back, so pleased to see one that looked in good order. (The textile teacher in me had to have it :)  £5.32
 More Anna Griffin, not sure what this machine is called, it stamps and inks the image as you press down, (If you see what I mean?) It has a set of stamps which are all just a bit bigger than an inch, (Flowers, Butterflies, Heart, Leaves, Crown, Lips and some royal type seals) and four little ink pads. All seems unopened, so whoever has sent it back hasnt tried it. £9.61
 Very rarely do I find any sizzix dies in the qvc shop, and I've never seen any TH's ones before, so I did grab these like a silly child, before someone else beat me to it :)  Got both of these dies for £11.08.
 Wrmk chipboard stickers x 7, metal charms and brads, I already have the matching 12x12 pad for these, so that was excuse enough!  £8,53
and finally, some Anna Griffin punches, all of these for  £13.01, Pheww!!

Well you would think that that would be enough shopping for any normal person, but well if I don't go today I won't be able to for months, so I got back in the car and drove to Dawn Bibbys shop for a nosey about. I normally go in my holidays for a treat to myself, but it is quite a drive, so I don't do that often. I wasn't really sure what to expect this time with her selling up, but there is still plenty to look at, although there doesn't seem much stock of each item, (But that seems sensible to me) I will miss it when it has gone, there nothing like seeing/touching items, I'd much rather buy in real life. Anyway I got all the stuff below for half price, it's all Christmas stuff should have been £27.04, but got it all for £13.52 :) Really pleased, as that includes two sets of stamps, some of the stickers are Anna Griffin (Again!!) and K&Co.  
Well All in all, a good days results (Not sure the bank manager will think so :P) just got to find somewhere to keep it now!!
