Hi Jojo and welcome. I have only been here a couple of weeks myself and still finding my way round. I'm sure it wont be long before you are a dab hand at it.

Hi Jojo. I've only been a member of this forum for a week myself, although I've making cards for ages (and am still learning) and crafting all my life. Funnily enough, I too have dissabilities, but different to you I've worked with computers for years. I'm typing this on a laptop on a laptray while in bed at the moment as I've got an infection on top of everything else and can't work at the moment. Once you get into using your computer I think you'll make a lot of use of it both for crafting and for other areas of your life.
I'm slowly finding my way around the site and know what you mean about feeling inadequate. There are those who put together such ornate and fantastic cards that all I can do is look in amazement and hope that bits of what I see give me inspiration. Although sometimes it's the simplicity of a card that catches your eye, where the image is left to speak for itself, so I don't always feel that I have to go for the amazing every time, if I make one card in 50 that I think, "that's great", instead of "that's OK, it'll do" I feel I'm doing well. Enjoy your card making.
