My loot from Australia!

This post is waaaay overdue! I finally told myself that I MUST take pics and post this. I'm more restrained this time around. I decided that I would only buy stuff that I cannot get in SG and not stuff that I imagine is cheaper! Hahahaha!
This pack of flowers were not even bought at a scrapbook store! I was in this bargain place called Red Dot when I picked this up.
Even though I never wanted to get papers, I could not resist these Kaiser papers and this exclusive Australian brand from Woolworths.
Stamps are one of my weakness and these were cheap and cannot be found in SG.
This whole stack of mags were cheap cheap cheap!! They were all 3 @ $9.95AUD! But unfortunately, some of the mags were duplicated. I decided to give them away as pressies from my Aussie trip!
Albums are always super cheap there! I bought 3 albums at only about $9AUD each! And check out the wooden 12x12 multi frame display by Kaiser! It wasn't very cheap but I can never find this type of thing here! Yeah!! I love that frame and I'm really glad it didn't break in my luggage! In fact, nothing broke, only a bar of chocolates!
So here's the sum of my loot and I promise that I didn't leave anything out!

The result of speed shopping at Laines

It's really amazing how much we are tempted to buy when "forced" to speed shop! Especially when there is a time limit of only 3 minutes. And unbelivably, in 3 minutes, I managed to chalk up a whooping SGD$160!! And that is the amount AFTER DISCOUNT!!!
Ooooo!! How not to buy out the whole range of Doodlebug's glittered flower papers??
Jenny Bowlin's shaped CS Paper. I have no idea how or why I ended up with 2 pieces of this. When Nancy (Laines) asked if I wanted to put it back (she was so nice!) I told her never to mind. Course if my hands took 2 pieces, then it must be because I will need 2 pieces! She could not stop laughing at my pathetic excuse for getting 2 of the same thing!
So tweet! They have the same berries as my K&CO Berry Sweet papers!
Who needs more ink? Not me for sure! So how did I end up with 3 more ink pads? Must be the scrapbook muse that put it in my basket!

This is Lou's gorgeous Prima Crystals. I had wanted the same set for myself too, but luckily or unluckily, I forgot to put an extra set in my basket! Hee hee! So I only had the black swirls.
Here's the stash of MMBI stickers of which I grabbed 6!! And since each cost $9.90 before discount, that added to the bulk of my cost. But I just could not resist it la!! Then there was the Prima flowers which I could have done without, but of course which I still bought...... The sweet and lovely DaisyDs tags, the irresistable Thickers (miraculously I only grabbed 2!!) and the MUST HAVE Maya Road Chipboard Birds and Blossoms.
Close ups of my MMBI stickers and Maya Road Chipboard ....... I must have been MAD!!
Papers!! How could I not get them?! The gorgeously flocked Anna Griffin papers. I cant even begin to describe how lovingly I ran my hands through the papers. I ended up getting 2! Anyone wanna share??!!
Then there was the Hambly transparencies. I began a love affair with them when I did a full Hambly transparency album in black and white. Sigh......
So, have I justified my SGD$160 purchase??!! I hope I have, cos I think I'll be going down again with J on Monday.........
