just chatting

Good morning everyone.

I hope you had a good weekend - & yes I know it was nearly 2 days ago - but I didn't mention it in my "snow" post yesterday.

I had a good crafting weekend & got started on my batch Christmas card making - the ones I do for Bob, & a couple for me for groups I am involved in.  Not the stamp clubs.  I also sorted out a remembrance day wreath for a friend by putting their name & logo behind the gap left by the poppies.  I did this last year for them as well.

Then Sunday evening I felt a bit sniffy & on Monday morning I had a pretty decent cold going on.  I did try to continue with my card making but had to stop due to my poor nose constantly running. I had a fairly decent night sleep last night & still pretty sniffy this morning.  My poor little nose is red & sore. 😳 

So I am dosing myself up to try & clear it.  Good job I had my flu jab a week or so ago, otherwise it might have been a lot of worse.  So no crafting today which is very annoying as I had just got my mojo working.  Never mind hopefully it will be gone in a day or two.

I hope you are all keeping free of these bugs.  Wrap up warm because I think winter might be here now.

Take care.
'Bye for now.

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.
