About Me

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.
Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.
Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.
I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.
The lovely banner was made especially for me by Amanda at Faery Ink Art & Design when I won her first blog challenge. 2025 - Now due to my sore hands and bad eyes I make mostly digital cards and scrapbook pages.

Two Old Bats Halloween challenge - anything Halloween

My eyes are getting worse.  When I went yesterday (Thursday) to have my eye injections in both eyes I had more tests and the specialist told me that my right eye was too damaged so he would not continue the injections in the right eye as they would not help.   He did not recommend a cornea transplant because of my age (I am 81).  I can still see out my left eye but it is also blurry.   I hope to keep making digital cards as long as I can but I am finding it difficult to do any commenting.  

I made the following card on Wednesday night but could not see to add it yesterday.
