Do you mean greeting cards? If that is what you mean there are always people who would be cheered up by receiving a card, especially one that is hand made. There are people aren't feeling well, and they would enjoy a card saying you are hoping they get better soon. There are lonely people would would love to get a card letting them know somebody is thinking of them. Visiting friends is also a great thing to do. Either just to chat, or maybe to play a game together. Maybe make cards together.

Yes greetings cards.I use to make loads of cards,i use to make a few each week.I have a problem with my children trying to make their own cards with all my card making stuff,so when ever i make cards i have to get all the things i want downstairs out of my bedroom then put it all away when i have finished or they will use it.

hi jugsjugs You should sell some of them. here at Gold Crest when I first came this friend of mine made some really beautiful cards and she did pretty well as so many here cannot get out easily. she was nice about the price but still made a little too.She moved out however.

I used to stay in a lot in the evening as my late hubby did not enjoy going out at night, but since he passed I have gotten involved in more and more social things. It is different, but nice.

I think that when you think of all the things that you use todo,some how you all of a sudden start todo things again.I find that there are other things that i use to do aswell,but i am unable to do those.But i think now i will get my card things out again and make some more,maybe try to sell more on ebay.

That sounds good, and a nice way of passing time, but at the same time, doing something meaningful ^_^ It's been a long time since i last do any cards for anybody, other than my mom, when i was about 10-11years old?? lol =D Though nowadays, not mnay ple are doing their own cards etc, but it's still quite touching to be receiving one, which is hand-made, by our loved ones ^_^ hehe

I think that would be a good idea. You need to stay busy but not too active and doing something constructive would be the thing to do.

I am on the computer all the time, and that is why i do not do the things I used to. Things may change, we will see. I have so many interests it gets hard to decide what to do first.

hi jugsjugs Its what so wonderful in talking with close friends as they remind you of things you used to do that you still enjoy. Making cards sounds like something even I could do although I am not too crafty but I do love to write and create things. But speaking of friends like yours, reminded me of my own friend who suggested the other day I get back to journaling again. It is one of my pet passions and keeps my writing urges appeased too. I may yet do a sort of biography of my time here among all the odd characters in Gold Crest,nothing mean but warm hearted and amusing too. I do not really know yet, just thinking about it.

Well, that is good. You must really enjoy making the cards and I bet you have some new ideas. And one evening you could makes come cards and pop out and give them to some friends. Your original artwork given to them would really be something special that they could save forever.

There are all kinds of things that I used to do that I can't do now. My friends and I used to go to clubs and drink and dance. Now I am lucky if I can walk to the bathroom without falling. I keep intending to try making cards. I am working on a baby blanket that I am not sure will be finished in time. Until I get that finished I don't want to take on anything else.

I used to celebrate halloween with my friends, we would go trick or treating, usually it was a treat, but now I'm too old to knock on people's doors for rofl...
