WOYWW 541: Some Sneaky Shopping

I may have indulged in a little sneaky craft shopping recently.
My desk shows the Floral Friends Aperture Dies and accompanying ii (inspiration and ideas) book that I purchased during a recent blitz offer from Claritystamp.  Every so often Barbara Gray decides that something should be made available at a really good reduction for a couple of days.  My Christmas sale order hasn't arrived yet.  I was really restrained and kept myself to three stamp sets and a set of four dies.
Eva and I bought the die to make this matchbox and case between us at Maria Moorhouse's recent workshop.  I may have a few still to put together for a project that we worked on: one of my plans for half term the week after next.  Maria is on Hochanda today at 12pm and 4pm with some new Christmas stamps.  These are my sample sneaky peeks.

I am joining in with Queen Julia and the WOYWW gang over on The Stamping Ground for another Wednesday of desk sharing.  It is a late night at work this evening (prospective parents evening) and I have to pick up my new glasses in the morning, so it may be the weekend before I can visit everyone. Happy WOYWW!

    Nice to treat yourself.. especially when there's a super bargain up for grabs. Like the sound of that matchbox die, hope you share the finished project!
    Your Clarity samples look intriguing, it's on record. Happy WoywW Tracey #6

    I love getting new specs. Then when I get them I am usually disappointed and find I like my old frames better! Fickle or what?
    I love the fact that you indulged - everyone needs to do something like that now and then and I would consider it a treat you deserved. Good for you Sarah - and I love the matchbox too.
    Hugs, Neet 3 xx
