I've just joined and thought I'd introduce myself. I live in Sydney, Australia and share a house with my Dad and 2 very spoilt cats.
I've just started making my Christmas cards, 115 this year which may sound like a lot but it was 189 the year before! Yes I am certifiable.
I've been making cards for about 10 years but have been looking for other like minded people to chat to about card making so here I am. I also cross stitch which I learnt in high school.
Hi Deb and welcome from across the ditch! I live in Auckland and can relate to the spoilt cats as I love cats too! You will find heaps of people here happy to chat, encourage, and inspire.

Looks like a fun place to be I'm sitting here with my binder of Christmas card designs I've ripped out of magazines and hoping that inspiration will strike.
*Only* 5 cards a week for 24 weeks, I can do that! Can't I? :shock:
I really just pick them up if the cover attracts my attention particularly the Christmas editions.
The mags I regularly get are:
Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft
Australian Papercraft Essentials (favourite)
Australian Simply Cards
Beautiful Cards (UK)
Cards & crafts for Christmas
Creative Cardmaking & Papercraft
But I had to stop the subscriptions, it was just getting ridiculous

Cheers, Deb
Should be easy! Worst comes to worst use the next public holiday! Or just do what I do stress and create for like 10 hours one weekend and all done lol
Hi ya Deb! Looks like you've got yourself a nice little aussie gathering here. LOL
Welcome to the forum. Sadly I havent made a card in weeks which is very unusual for me. I must start to get some work done on some of my chrissy cards soon. I'm from Queensland.
Thanks Deb, they probably do send overseas - but the postage cost is usually more than the mag costs. Making it an expensive exercise.
Plus with the customs it either does not make it too me or with the restrictions on "skin" here they are likely to take to it with a black marker and make sure everyone is covered up. :giggle:
Can I say hi even if I'm not Australian? Tho I d*did* have a crush on the Australian foreign exchange student from HS...&*_&^ years ago...his name was Kyle <Swoon>
Oh sorry, welcome to the site. I'm only at about 60 Christmas cards and am about a third done. I do a Stamp a Stack in October usually so get motivated then.

I'll give it best comedy but best crime show has got to be Castle!
If for nothing else the super cute and sexy Nathan Fillion :p
I've seen those commercials but not the show. I'm in for reality tv during the summer. Hell's Kitchen, Big Brother, pretty much anything that I can just stare at at the end of the day lol
I do love true crime type tv tho. First 48, Crime 360�, Bait Car, Police Women of...
