Oh My Gosh!!

What a lucky lady I am, Hello my lovely friends, yup I'm back from my break. Exhausted, spoiled and jet lagged but a happy crafter resides here tonight!

Guess who I met on my hols?

wanna clue?



Okay, yes, I actually shook the hand of Emerson Quillin, perhaps you may not have encountered this talented chap before but I have been a fan of his humour and expertly drawn images for many years now. I was like a giddy groupy and he was totally underwhelmed, understandable really I mean, how could he have ever heard of little ol 'mustavcoffee'?? Or even Gay from the UK?? LOL
He really didn't know what to make of this mad woman from the UK but was happy to sell me some of his stamps at a bargain price, YES !!! What a lucky chap, fancy living on that fabulous Island!

This is his studio and shop, look palm trees people :D
Click on his name for the link to his website where you will find all sorts of fun stuff!!!!
HERE is a link of a card that I made with on of his stamps, a card for my lovely friend and crafty buddy Darnell

 Then to top it off as Hubby and I were on our way back to Blighty, we took a little detour and visited Whim So Doodle in St Petersburg, WOW I could happily spend a day or two going through this wonderful store! They were very kind and welcoming :D
So, many dollars lighter I arrived home early this morning, itching to get crafting again.
Thank you for your patience my friends, whilst I pull myself together, hugs to you all, Gay x

    Eep!! I can see why you were like a giddy school girl crushing on Himself, Gay!! I'm SO jealous!! You mentioned me, of course? Thank you, I was sure of it. And shucks I wish I lived in the other sunshine state and I might have had the giddy school girl fun of meeting YOU! Maybe next time you can come to this coast?!

    Welcome home! Hugs, Darnell

    Hi Gay, glad to hear you've managed to have some time away after the stress you've been through. Have to say though I'd never heard of Emerson but I do recognise his doodles, enjoy your new purchases! Hugs xx

    Gay, I Can totally understand your excitement. I Am also a big fan of his stamps and humour. When it became impossible to get new stamps I chased him up and ended up having quite a good conversation with him via emails not phone sad to say. I am very envious of you lucky duck. Great card you did for Darnell too.

    Good to have you back and that you have enjoyed your R&R.

    Forgive me for being ignorant about Emerson, then I looked him up and have loved his work without knowing who did it. Shame I don't stamp LOL.

    Fancy him never having heard of you ;) Great that you got a bargain though. I think I could lose myself in that shop for a long while!
