My paper-craft show prize

Hello everyone I hope you are all well.

I mentioned the other day that I had won one of the raffle prizes in the paper-craft show on Saturday. Joanna of Mold club picked it up for me & also, bless her, took photos - so I thought you might like to see what I won. I won't actually get it until a week Thursday;


beads, rub-ons & paper


borders


flowers - lots of


buttons, ribbon & cards


card packs


card, frame, decoupage


more card packs


crafty bits


glitter & magnet


mixed bag


punch


stamp & stencil


mask & die


All of it - everything.

It has got to be the best £1-00 I have ever spent.

I may be back again later today - as I have a member showcase for you.

Just before I close - I don't know if beautiful is a word you can use to describe a funeral.  But it is the only one I can think of it - apart from the word moving.  Which it very much was.  It was so different to any I have been to before.  The service was taken by a young lady who is a "civil minister".  She presides over services that have no religious theme (although it did include the Lords Prayer!), she told us of Ann's life, of fun things about Ann - it really was beautiful. Still brought tears & a lump to the throat.  Ann's coffin was a wicker one dressed with just a few flowers - & now that I have seen it - this is what I want to have when the time comes, along with a "civil minister".

'Bye for now.

    I do think that some funerals *can* be beautiful, especially if the 'minister' actually knows the deceased rather than just reads some written words. We attended one with a 'cardboard' coffin which we all pushed uphill along a windy (as in twisting, not blowy!) path to the chosen plot overlooking the Mersey. We sang a little and listened to some lovely words and it was....beautiful.

Gwen Beautiful embossed card & flowers which have been decoupaged Joan A stepper card with a beautiful circular central topper. 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
