Sunset & Ducks?

Image
Hi everyone - just popping in with my photograph from last nights visit to the restaurant.  You may have gathered from the title of the post that possibly I missed the ducks?  Well, you would be right.  It's a beautiful sky but I obviously missed the ducks - they had either not got there or had flown by. Back later this evening with some actual stamping information & photos. 

Birthday Meal

Hi, here I am again as I said I would be. Well we had a very pleasant meal this evening - the company is always good.  I was a little disappointed in the service as waiters insisted on leaning across us to put things on the table when there was clearly enough room to walk all round the table.  Moan over. I said the other day I couldn't show you the card I was making for Gareth for his birthday & I was right not to do so - or should that read - I was right to do so?  Hmmmm.  Weird that. Tonight he asked why I wasn't putting it there.  Cheeky. See! I knew he would be peeking. Did you see the beautiful sunset tonight.  As we drove to the restaurant the sky was all pinky & fluffy clouds, I really could have done with stopping & taking a photo especially as a skein of ducks flew across making an absolutely perfect picture.  In the restaurant car park I did try - until I look in the morning I won't know what I managed to take.  I ...

Wet, Damp Sunday morning

Good morning & what a morning.  Mind you the night wasn't much better was it? I've just popped in this morning to say that I have posted information regarding workshops on the "Future Events" tab, just to let you know what stage I have reached. Also I have received my first comment on the blog - so now I know that someone is out there reading it.  I hope to hear from more of you eventually. During the day I hope to sort out more of the 2011 programme - I have just had a look at what I had sorted for 2010 that you have not done because I haven't been at meetings.  Will probably use some of those as well.  Also I will be preparing for some of the new challenges that I participate in - so far just the one has been revealed - that is on the CD Sunday Challenge - their theme this week is CD & decoupage.  That will be a good test as decoupage is not my favourite craft. Also today - or rather this evening - we are all going out for a meal for ...

Programme for 2011

Image
Happy Saturday everyone.  I hope you are having a nice weekend. I have been busy today but not actually creating anything.  I have been sorting out projects & "Show & Tell" items for our programmes in 2011, At a recent meeting at the Mold club the ladies brought ideas into the meeting of things they would like to do or learn about.  Amongst them  were things like - stamping on acetate; brayering techniques; using friendly plastic & using bleach.  So if you have any other ideas please let me know through the comments option at the end of any of the posts.  I think that we have covered friendly plastic at all 3 clubs, but that would have been some time ago.  So I will add it to the 2011 programme - I have searched the Internet & found a very good supplier & also some new techniques to use with it.  So! watch this space for further information.  I am also looking at finding another retailer to visit us at on...

First Pictures

Hello again - I have popped back in with some photos for you.  Yesterday Jeanette from Mold II sent me pictures of the project made at their meeting on Tuesday (28 Sept). Rita who was looking after the club for me that evening had taken along a new Wendy Stenton template for an Art-deco card.  I saw her samples when I popped in & immediately bought the template.  I'm sure you will all agree with me how beautiful they are.  Jeanette sent them in as four mixed pictures & so that they show up well I have cropped sets of them out to make more photos in the slide show. Before I go I must tell you about a milestone reached today, & pleased don't laugh.  Bob is expecting me to put this bit of news here & I know Gareth would probably be thinking the same. Tonight ......... I cooked dinner! Well, that's it for now, but the beauty of this host site for blogs is - I can pop in & out much easier.  (Note;  I think I have laboured this poi...

Good morning

Hi Good morning. So pleased you found us. News & photos later.  Have a lovely - though very wet - day.

Welcome to your new Club website & blog

Hello everyone! Well, here it is at last - the new website.  I am really confident that you will enjoy browsing through it & find it a lot friendlier to use. There is a lot of information in this post - so please read it all.  Thank you. First I will give you a quick verbal tour - then please go & have a look around for yourselves.  Make yourselves familiar with where to find things you want to know about - but to be honest - it is not difficult.  Like the Glitter Girls - where possible I don't do difficult. Now due to my absence from the meetings the latter part of this year your programme pages are not showing much - but when I return.............. well I did say ....... "I will be back" ...........details will be as they used to be on the old site.  Talking of the old site it will remain open so it will be there for you to pop back to for reminders of what we did, so don't take it off your favourites list, but DO REMEMBER to add this one ...
