Hi from another newbie

[craftylaureen]

I'm new to the sight so thought I'd say Hello! My name is Laureen, I'm 38, live in London, married to Ian and have 3 grown up step children (none of our own-yet!).
I've been feeling very low recently as my mum passed away in april. I thought this might be a good place to make some new pals. I have tried most crafts in my time but I love card making! I hadn't felt up to making cards for a while but was 'forced' back into it-in a nice way! My friend is getting married and wanted me to make her 70 wedding invitations which I've just finished. I also love reading,listening to rock music,watching a good film and cross stitch - which I,m learning at the moment.
I look forward to getting to know you all.

Hello Laureen.
I'm new today too and also looking to make new friends. I enjoy making cards too -at the moment I'm trying to get ahead and make some Christmas cards.....easier said than done...things are a bit hectic at the moment. I'm really impressed with you doing 70 invites....fantastic you must be really pleased with yourself. Your friend is very lucky to have a friend like you.
Happy crafting
