Nice to hear from you Wendy..I've been busy gathering stuff to do some 
serious card making this fall and winter. I hope to make my own Xmas cards 
this year. and probably my daughters also. If I get good enough at it..My 
friend and I share ideas and supplies. after we figure out what it is were 
doing we may want more of something, but for now, sharing seems the best..We 
always dive into things. cant just puddle in the surf ya know..but we're 
taking some classes so we won't be entirely stupid about it..we've wasted a 
lot of paper trying....but it's all fun..seems like one of us always comes up 
with another idea to improve what we've done..
     Do keep in touch with us so we can share ideas..we'll need the moral 
support....our leaves are beginning to turn already and me thinks we may be 
in for a long winter. I am retired so I don't mind so much now. I can sit and 
watch it snow and know I don't have to get out and drive in it unless I WANT 
to....Do take care of yourself and write again soon, Bettie
