And again......

It seems that I now appear to have changed my creative hobby...at least temporarily...my latest attempt at creating has led to yet another ebay purchase....hence my latest hobby seems to be buying...lol....but in my defense, it is another cartridge, this time one I've been watching and waiting for just the right bargain...YES I got Tags, Bags, Boxes and More....finally!! I didn't see the value in this cart with 'Herbie' but with bigger 'Bertie' it will be so much more practical...very hard to come by and even buying overseas, the best price I had seen was $77, not including postage that averages $14...This one I scored for $64.87 with $5.00 postage right here in Aus. Nothing has changed as far as my time...but the incentives are definately building.

Oooooooops...Ebay again

This time it was the one I've been drooling over for sooo long....I just refuse to pay enormous $$ for a cart. This time I got Ornamental Iron (surprised????.....what vintage LO would be complete without it) for $21. I know...stop buying and get using....but I've been surfing some youTube tutorials by Laura Denison...check her out she goes by Follow the Paper Trail...her blog is www.followingthepapertrail.blogspot.com . Lots of mini albums with lots using envelopes, some new ideas and some old but either way this brain needs reminders and a kick start. So off to get some more inspiration.
Have to make a quick Baby Boy card, which I will do my best to remember to take pics of. I've completed yet another gift box but for the 2nd time forgot pics.

A few more Ebay finds.....

Soooooo now I NEED to create, picked up 3 more carts. for Bertie. Sentimentals, Locker Talk and Stretch Your Imagination...Sentimentals was on my wish list (vintage keys mmmmmmmm......) and Locker Talk gives me some great School designs, Stretch was just a bargain but has some great mixed designs. All 3 carts came to $80 postage included.....and from here in Aus.
Now I just need to find some spare time....
