Just chatting

Hi
I thought I would just pop back with information on my day.

First thing was to make sure I had everything ready for the workshop tomorrow & when I checked my folder found that I needed to print out some more of the course notes & that I had made a decision to revamp two of them.  So that had to be done as well.

I haven't found out yet about next weeks workshops but if they take place I have 3 & they cover - waterfall card, penny roller/slider card, hidden message cards & the gift box card.  So, as I was already typing notes & updating them I thought I had better check the notes for those workshops as well.  Whenever I do that I seem to want to change my mind about some things, & that happened today as well. So each of the topics have new project sheets with little updates in them.  Tomorrow I must look out my samples & make sure they are OK.

All this meant the birthday card didn't get made for my cousin - so I must knuckle down to it tomorrow afternoon.  Also whilst thinking of what to do for her I had a sudden thought that her birthday was close to another elderly cousins birthday.  So back to the diary & yes my other elderly cousin has her birthday on Sunday & she will be 91. Two cards to make tomorrow.

Talking of age - which I was to a certain degree - I was having a catch up chat with Sue today who after asking about my holiday & my birthday informed me I was now her "oldest" friend.  Mmmm !
It did make us laugh though.

Still working on photos - perhaps some tomorrow.

That's me again for today - night night & sleep tight.

Thank you ladies for sending them in - certainly very different styles today. So! - Last post? Over the last year or so all 3 clubs have been getting themselves sorted out in order to continue running the clubs from now on. Remember I announced in 2019 that I would be standing back at the end of 2020 & retiring.  I will of course keep in touch & visit the meetings now & again.  But it is now time for me to hang up my stamps.  Well not literally as I will still make cards - but you know what I meant. All 3 clubs now have the way forward sorted.  C

Jayne Nestorenko

Good morning I was informed this morning, by Rita of Mold II club, that Jayne Nestorenko had passed away on Saturday evening after a long illness. I suspect that there may be some amongst you who do not know of her - but many who do. I followed Jayne's work for a long time & many of those lovely large wooden stamps that were around came into my collection beause of her enthusiasm & creativity. I particularly enjoyed using, & held many workshops at Daleside, to show how to use the Treasure Box stamps which were very popular; I cannot now remember who made those stamps & there were different sizes & you made different shaped boxes according to how many pieces you stamped.  Then of course you also had the matching medallion stamp to place on the top of the box. The crafting world is saddened by the loss of this lovely lady. Sleep peacefully Jayne.
