I looked in the box for instructions, not having clue as to what next. Surely the box came with a small how to make greeting card example as well as a few other small samples, but again “What Next”!

After spending twenty plus years in the retail world working for two rather large companies, one absorbed by the other, the demands proved to be futile. Afterwards I tried a few other jobs, with crafting as my peace in my time off. Eventually I was crafting more than I worked. I was able to spend more time with my family while restoring my peace.
