    I am around and reading, mojo has disappeared and I'm relying on kits quite a lot for cards

    Hugs to all.

    I have not visited this thread until today. I will try to work through the emails. I made two quick cards today - not in craft mode - haven't been since Mil died in March. I don't expect my cards are up to the standard of ones by posters here.

    The cards I made were just quick ones for boys aged 8 and 11. I always find those ages quite difficult to make cards for.
