Smile Hi I am a newbie

Hi my name is Colleen, I am form the UK but we moved to France about 16 years ago. I found this site by accident, but it was the best accident I have ever had, I am so hooked on these cards. due to health my husband can no longer work, and was given two years of quality life left, so as we do not go to far these days, my crafts are my life savers as our with our 5 small dogs. I am still trying to work this site out and only just found out how to use this forum. But just wanted to say hello and to say all your designs and made up cards are stunning, well done, I love anything hand made and appreciate all that goes into them.
Colleen

Hello Colleen - huge and warm welcome to the forum!
I'm So pleased you found cUp albeit by accident. It's great to have you on the forum too.
Crafting is great therapy isn't it?! 5 dogs - wow - lucky you!

As for Patricia and her hedgehogs - I'm sure Patricia will come back to you on them. She has some brilliant little videos on the forum of baby hedgehogs she looks after - I'm sure she will point you in the right direction of where to watch them. She does fantastic work with sick and abandoned hedgehogs.

Enjoy the forum!

Hi again Colleen, Yes, he is my first rescue baby. Tyler. He is rather large now. LOL That was a few years ago. We have taken in 10 babies so far this year. I am a hedgehog carer.

Talking Thank you all

Many thanks to you all for welcoming me, it is great to be here, my crafts and my computer are my soul mates, help me through each day.
What a great job you are doing Patricia savimg the little hedgehogs, my youngest son save 3 babies some time ago, they wee on a main road, , he is soft like me with animals, 2 of our 5 dogs are rescues, so many abandoned over here in France in the forest, my eldest son had a rescue that passed last year, but have adopted another little one from a breeder, she is so tiny, but as she is not good for breeding any more, they don't want them. I also do a lot of sewing and made doggy dresses, and I made some dog beds for a rescue in the States that i am part of, but now hooked on these fab! cards, when I look at what all of you have made, you are all blessed with so much talent.
