Comments on Flickr

In the little time I have had to explore Flickr I have been so impressed with the creativity and variety of photographs from the mundane to the beautiful. It is both an interesting site and an exciting place to share with others your interest.
Someday I planned to have the time to create artist trading cards such as this. (Found on Flickr)

Lifelong Learning

Setting goals, Habit 1, is fairly easy to do. Using technology to my advantage, Habit 6, is not something I always take advantage of.

Welcome to my blog

I have always enjoyed sewing and crafts. Years ago I made my own clothes including my wedding gown and going away suit. I have dabbled in quilting, cross-stitch and painting ceramics. I have always wanted to draw and paint and plan to take classes when I retire. For now I make cards; it is my creative outlet. I am very good at copying ideas from the significant number of books and magazines I own.

While card making takes time it does not require the time and space demanded of quilting and many other hobbies. I only make and give cards to people who would appreciate the thought and care of a homemade card.

I would love to exchange ideas with other CML staff who also make cards.
