Good idea Jacqui.

Repeat of mine, plus a few more bits, from earlier.

My name is Linda (Lin to my friends) I am a 47 (soon to be 48 divorced mother of a gorgeous 21 year old called Ems and I am addicted......... to card supplies purchasing! I have a disabling illness, suffering with both ME and emphysema. In fact a lot of us on here have some health problem or another. But we do not let that put us off of our favourite hobby of making cards, but more ostensibly of buying all those gorgeous card making supplies. We all have cupboards, nay entire spare rooms spilling over with enough product to stock our own shop, and we all love to go into this craft haven and rubbing our hands with glee exclaim, 'my precious, mine all mine'. Hence why we are all Ebeneezers, we love to buy but prefer not to part with it.

Like a lot of the others I have been crafting for years and I too did ordinary knitting and then progressed to machine knitting, which I had to quit as it was giving me a strange neck problem. I made most of Em's clothes when she was growing up, either sewing them or knitting them. Course she would not want to be seen dead in anything I made these days.

She is also crafty, she makes jewellery and would make an excellent forger in the art world. She has an eye for detail and can copy most works of art, but sadly there is not much call for forgers.

I live in Hampshire, with Ems and two unruly Jack Russells, one of who has recently been afflicted with arthritis.
