49th & Market. I love their colors and use of white space and how the paper serves as a lovely backdrop and doesn't compete with other elements such as photos for attention.

Hi my name is Char, short for Charlotte, and I'm a 71 (almost 72) y.o. retiree, mom, grandma and beginning crafter who lives in Delaware.

I've been "studying" crafting (cards and mini albums) for several years now (this means watching lots of YT videos and collecting supplies for that "start" day, which seems to be starting now...). Seriously, though, I have collected a ridiculous amounts of stamps, dies and PAPER! I actually had a plan in mind when I got most of this stuff - retirement. Well retirement happened in April and I'm still afraid of just digging in!

The other distraction that I fell in love with recently is AI image generation and what I hope / plan to do is start creating my own digital papers. I have all of the necessary tools except for faith! But I'll get there.

Now, however, I have grandchildren in college and I want to do memory books for them to fill with their photos and general memorabilia and I have one of Francés' books that I plan to use for just this purpose. Double Waterfall Folio

Anyway, that's probably way more than you wanted to know but thanks for reading!

Take care ... Char

Just now watching this podcast and I love the story of your journey. Money makes everything awkward. Keep moving forward ... only then will you find more new ideas and methods that are beneficial to all of us.

Love how you used recycled goods to use for the money to buy your tools! If only everyone would do the same ... 

Your journey feels so relevant, thank. you for sharing!
