Just chatting & candles
Hello everyone - sorry I didn't drop in yesterday, but I spent all day sorting paper & card in my craft room & didn't think you would find that that interesting to read about. Well not actually day as I did pop down for my exercise first thing.
I have also been again this morning. I am not going to bore you everyday with an update - or I might change my mind you can never tell. I am managing the exercise a lot better now - today I managed to spend 40 minutes on the treadmill & 10 minutes (yes ten!) on the Harley Davidson. I was pleased with that as it shows my knees are loosening a bit. No swimming this week though.
Last night I visited a local WI to demonstrate decorating candles, & help them decorate a candle each. I was left with 5 candles - so I expect I will decorate those & put them in as raffle prizes or on a forthcoming sales table to add to the fund-raising of one of my groups. It was a most enjoyable evening - here are a couple of examples of their work;
Everyone went away with a decorated candle & a couple of ladies had 2 because they made them for ladies that couldn't get to the meeting last night.
Perhaps we should do this at a club night next year - close to Christmas. The difference being you would be stamping your decorations. I will look into the practicalities of doing this, as we should use heat guns. But health & safety wise it might not be advisable. The images could still be applied - like last nights - with glue. I will give it some thought. Let me know what you think.
I am off up to my craft room to create a "mock up" of the birthday book that I am showing HSNW members to make, as they get to put the book together next Monday. I am not decorating the pages or the covers - it is purely a mock up. Mind you I might be able to complete it with decorative papers after it is finished - stamping on it then would be difficult.
I hope you are having a good day. More chat tomorrow.
