senior learning to blog

 65 year old women,my interest at present  is learning to make cards. i have lots of  crafting  toys, but not brave enough to use most of them.love you tube. i would like to emboss with my rubber stamps. my husband gave me cricket expression last  mothers day. also have imagine. uses white paper prints on color. my next machine will be grand calibur by spellbinder. im storing dies in binder on magnetic sheets[pages got so heavy] found better system ,that works for me. index file box plastic cards that i glued 3inch. mag. strip [happy, happy ,me] takes less room ,holds plenty easy to find. not sure what to do with grands yet.my husband is buiding large great room, and soon our sun room will become my studio.only problem [11 french windows ,around three walls] so my storage is mostly table height[think it will be u shape, and were adding three rows 6inch glass shelf's around room. will have to keep blinds tilted so direct sun doesn't come in.[ wood mounted rubber stamps will display around room. I'm planning to use some storage cubes on my one and only wall[ stacked three high] i  had  idea for two work stations,found nice wide corner desk that would form my u shape [but still have to put storage under work area.] alot of storage is 15-18 inch's,[i was wanting them little deeper] yesterday on martha stewart i saw her craft storage. would have to cut off legs,reviews haven't been good [so will have to research some more.this blogging is new to me.hope to learn and share ideas with other card makers.my first love is nursing,theres not always much time to craft ,BUT i have been fortunate to capture some photos that make memories along my journey [senior and hospice care]

  1. Hi Lori,

    Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. Congratulations on your winning at Spellbinders! It's nice to know their is a papercrafter in my neck of the woods. My mom is retired and she teaches people to use the computer and do web pages. If you need any tips, I'm sure she'd love to help you out.
