need some rl friends who are into cardmaking etc so we can all worship at the altar.

feel all alone. and completely out of ideas. feel what is the point of making a wonderful card, and then not havng anything to do with it....

[Whizzz]

Even better...sell the fab card to your friends

[stitch]

there is a local shop, i ll look into their classes.
my friends are completely useless. just not into anything remotely crafty.

[Dingle]

[stitch]

I started a group with two friends (ok a friend and a mad thief woman) in my home, and although I have now moved away (or perhaps because of ) it has grown into quite a big club and was featured in a mag 'n all. It only takes one friend you meet, must be an excuse to hang around carft shops talking to people.

thread hi-jack, sorry, peachy i have just asked you something on my autistic traits thread, hope you dont mind

[champs]

mad thief woman?? oh the intrigue!!

stitch, look in a craft shop local to you to see if they do crops/workshops. you may see someone you Know from the area and then meet up with them.

[stitch]

what is this mad theif woman???

champs, there is one, but the timings dont suit me.and im a bit too stingy to pay 8 pounds for a class! but mainly its the tiimiings thing.
will check if the local colleges do anything at all crafty.
thank you all

[champs]

ah, £8 is quite pricey. does it include any extra?
you'll have to bully... i mean persuade your friends into crafting

[PeachyClair]

mad thief woman would come to the house and make us watch videos of create and craft - fairly random selections for no reason at all- pick up our things and say 'OOh I am just borrowing this...' and slip it into her handbag (we always grabbed back), talked my then 3 year old into giving her his new tweenie magazine to cut up for a card, and was finally made unwelcome after being caught trying to pocket a pack of my friends card.

She was really odd and couldn't actually hold a coherent conversatin, in tretrospect suspect she had a drink problem. But at the time, my we laughed! it was that or throttle her.

[champs]

pmsl!! sorry not funny but i cant stop laffing, dh asked me whet i was laffing about!!

cheered me up, it really did... haaaaaaa

[PeachyClair]

Oh it was funny, absolutely.
