Keeping up with pen palling was a little difficult while not being at home but not impossible. Here are just a few of the things I received and acquired while away...
 |
| Post from one of my British pen pals... |
 |
| These are cards designed by the lovely Hannah Yates in Bridport, Dorset. Her designs also feature on clothing through her small business called Quirky Clothing Company, for more info: http://www.hannahyates.com |
 |
| Just part of the washi/paper tape collection I acquired while I was in the UK & The Netherlands. Thanks to Paperchase, The Range, Dragon Chant, HEMA, and Wibra for tempting me beyond belief! |
 |
| Three tapes for £3 at Paperchase, how could I not? |
 |
| Had to buy a tin at Goulds in Dorchester just to house my increasingly large collection. Pretty, right? |
 |
| New tapes from Clinton's Cards, purchased in Dorchester. They are a new line called My Journal and there were three different tapes. I got the first to there and caved and bought the third one at the Clinton's in Sutton Coldfield. |
 |
| Last set of tapes I bought at Paperchase in Sutton before leaving the UK to come home for a long while...sigh! From the Pushy Cats collection. |
 |
| Upon returning home and scouring my collection I came across this card that reminded me of the beach huts in Lyme Regis! Go figure! I suddenly found I had many things in my collection at home reminiscent of the UK! |
 |
| A visit to the new Hobby Lobby within walking distance of home revealed MANY new possibilities where stickers are concerned...this is just ONE aisle of nothing but stickers! |
