Retirement Ok 
Here goes with a few snaps of Retirement Activity in the card making Dept here
All handmade ; I use an Ebosser metal die cutter ; lots of double sided tape ; foam double sided tiny squares and PVA
Some contain embossed main card and some embossed elements used for card toppers
I made my own Poinsettia flowers and mounted them on tiny paper Doilies (from eBay crafts and pennies)
Lots of "Glitzy"card was chopped by the die cutters in the making of these cards
I am making 10 for the Royal Marsden Cancer Fund (my friend takens them to the "Shop" on her next visit
and I am making 10 for the Church at Stoke Charity, Fund
All have a "wishes sheet inside" and some"Verses" too
Is my workroom messy ?
I am lurving this Retirement! Usually, for the last 12 years, this time of year has been absolutely MANIC - making up "kits"for the children to make "Halloweeny" things and then "Christmas cards - usually 6 to 8 for each of 12 children ... meant lots of "Kits" to be made up ready for the lessons
NO MORE ! Its all ME TIME - well, ok I am making some for Charities close to our hearts and for our friends But such fun
