CSNW photos - part 1

Good afternoon ladies - right, I think that is most of the things I have to do today done - so time for a break & the best break is to sit here & blog the photos from your meetings.

This post is the first set from last night's CSNW meeting & their Show & Tell cards.  Not many brought in last night - just 4 & would you believe 3 of them used the same theme!! How strange is that.  The theme this month was a card depicting a book title.

Here are the 4 cards


Tales of Peter Rabbit - pulling up his carrots - or - more likely Mr McGregors carrots.


Again Tales of Peter Rabbit - & I should be able to remember which one, bit its not coming.
They are such cute characters.


Aah, the non rabbit book.  Don't need to tell you which book this is for - but isn't it good to see that "book & bookmark card" style still being used.


Here he is again & it looks as if he is about to go into Mr McGregors garden.  I love the aperture around the fence - really looks like he could walk through into the garden.

Did you know that just outside Denbigh there is a beautiful old house that Beatrix Potter used to visit as a young girl & where she got the inspiration for Mr McGregors garden?  They used to open the gardens - I am not sure if they still do.  I will try & find out.

That is the first set of photos I will pop off now & load the project photos.

Back in a moment.

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.
