Birthday Greetings Today is 20 December & a Mold II club member has a birthday Happy Birthday Chris Have a great day

Just popping in to wish you all a very Merry Christmas I hope you have a wonderful time

Hi everybody Sorry I have not been here for quite a few days - but I am afraid I have been unwell.  In fact, I am not right yet. I do not know exactly what happened my Doctor said possibly some gastric upset.  Anyway I have spent the last 5 days in bed & most of that time I have been asleep.  I have hardly eaten & only had a little drink - so not in a good way. This afternoon I have to try & get to the hospital for a blood test, then on Thursday for my 4-weekly oncologist visit.  I have my fingers crossed that I will soon start to feel lots better. In the meantime I am not going to be writing anything on the blog until after Christmas.  So this will be last message until then. I hope you all have a wonderful time.  Talk to you after Christmas. 'Bye for now.

Birthday Greetings Today is 16 December & a Mold II member has a birthday Happy birthday Madeline Have a lovely day.

Good afternoon everyone - this afternoon I have another showcase projects from the workshop that Joanna of Mold club attended recently.  As before I will put Joanna's email message beneath the photos; "Extra evening session on the Saturday - Eileen showed us how to make a  faux wooden fence and I did the 'Weathered Wood' one at home. I used one of the makes for my show n tell. Lucy showed us the paste/mica powders/ heat-tool-bubbling technique  which is what the wreath is made of" Thank you Joanna - you really had a good weekend.  That's not all folks - there are still 3 more batches to show you. Before I go - Cathy of Mold II club has put a comment on the birthday greetings post (19 Dec) regarding the cards she received. That's me for today.  Have a nice evening. 'Bye.

Birthday Greetings Today is 10 December & a Mold II member  has a birthday Happy Birthday Cathy Have a great day

Good Afternoon everyone, although looking at the time I suppose it is Good Evening. Today I have another set of member showcase photos to show you.  Again they are from the weekend workshop attended by Joanna & Janet of Mold group, recently.  This time they are some of Joanna's work & again I will include the text from Joanna's email. "First set The four similar ones we did with Eileen in the afternoon, part of a  large background stencil coloured with a couple of inks and then another  larger one over the top using memento ink.  A little of the same  background on one corner of the envelope (with a piece of card inside to  stop leakage and to give a firm stamping base)" Thank you Joanna I am really envious.  I have followed Eileen's work for a long time. More of Joanna's still to come - lots in fact. Enjoy the rest of the day.  'Bye for now.

Good afternoon everyone I do hope you are all having a great weekend. Recently Joanna & Janet of Mold club went away for a weekend workshop.  Part of the workshop was with Sweet Poppy stencils & another with Eileen Godwin of Eileens Crafty Zone. At the last Mold meeting (November) Joanna & Janet took along the results of their work & Joanna has sent me loads of photos.  I will be putting them here gradually over the next few days. Here are 4 of the items made by Janet, & as I would find it difficult to say anything about them - after the photos, I have used the text from Joanna's email. Here is Joanna's email "These are a few of the ones Janet made over the weekend - I didn't shoot  all of them as some are very similar to the ones I did :) The black one is with paste and micro beads; the other is paste over  which, once dry, the stencil is replaced and inks added for colour. The two completed cards are what we did w

Good afternoon everyone. I had hoped to have photos from the CSNW's Wednesday's meeting to show you - but we experienced a little hiccup & so the ladies are bringing their cards back, decorated,  to the next meeting which will be February.  The project card was successfully made but not decorated - so wasn't worth taking the photos.  Sorry. I have some member showcase projects to show you which I will do over the weekend. I hope you all have a good weekend & that this promised awful weather doesn't come to anything. Talk to you over the weekend. 'Bye for now.

Good morning everyone & what a lovely sunny day.  I suspect it may be quite cold out there today as well. So wrap up warm when you go out. Today I have another member showcase for you & this time it is from Dot - a member of Mold II club. Here is her card; Isn't it cute? This is the message Dot sent with the photo -  "I've been busy trying to finish off my cards and didn't have any idea what to do for my friend  Hazel who is a crafter herself. I started a star shaped card then changed my mind as the  picture was too big and made the card too top heavy.  She has just got herself a little cockapoo puppy so I decided to use a basket topper   taken from an old Christmas card.  I cuttlebugged a host of poinsettias, added little gemstones and put a photo of  her dog behind the basket making it look like the puppy is sitting in the basket.  I was going to add a Santa hat to the dog or a tiny bow but neither of them looked right. 

Birthday Greetings Today is December 2nd & a Mold II member has a birthday Happy Birthday Elizabeth Have a lovely day

Good morning. Oh dear - it is now December!  Not much of the year left, where did it go? This morning I have a member showcase for you - or more correctly an ex-member showcase.  I recently received an email from Betty (who used to be a member of Mold II) - she keeps in touch from time to time. Attached to the email was the photo of a card she had recently made ---- here is what Betty said Hi Gloria, Thought I would send you this pic of card with stamp of unicorn,  so ‘ trendy ‘ at the moment.  The stamp came with magazine in 2017 and had never used it.  Also used brushos which I bought after one of your classes.   Betty x Here is the card; A lovely card Betty.  I do love the effects of Brusho's. So glad to know you are still making cards. Thank you for sending it in. Take care. I actually used my Brusho's recently & have got some ideas to use them some more.  So perhaps that will pick up my creative juices for 2020. That's me
