I decided there was not enough laughing in my life so I set to and started to design greeting cards in addition to my other design work.
I'm happy to make people smile and to show that giving something really good takes as little effort as sending something pretty ordinary.
I fully believe that if you can laugh about it someday you may as well laugh about it today. And also that we are just about as happy as we try to be. But you should know, Pollyanna I'm not. Even I might want to slap her after a day or so.

Yes, take care! DIY can be a trap. DIY > Damage and Injure Yourself.
