Afternoon Tea… & papercrafting …..

…. although not necessarily at the same time!  A small group of ladies met at The Deer Park for Afternoon Tea in April & had an enjoyable time.  It felt quite odd to not be serving teas, but we coped! The savoury items were varied & something different, but the main talking point were the ‘Earl Grey scones’ – they were huge yet very delicate, so we all got very messy eating them.  A cake selection followed, with resulting full stomachs. Doggy bags were taken home!  A huge ‘thank you’ to Kate B for organising this afternoon out.

Debbie, Chris G, Chris L, Yvonne & Mary met up to ‘craft along with Gaye’ in the village hall creating cards using the ‘In the moment’ stamp set.  They stamped, embossed, coloured in, blended & used 2 masking techniques to create amazing cards. Well done ladies!

Next requests?  Papercrafting wreaths for the Jubilee … & then ‘Christmas cards’!

How do you show solidarity with all those in Ukraine who are suffering as a result of the invasion of their country by Russia?  Our President, Karen Wakefield, changed our display at the WI garden outside the Village Hall.  The ‘Hope Springs Eternal’message, still relevant today.
