My wife Val is a crafting fanatic and we'd like to develop a section on the board and site that is dedicated to hobbies of this nature. For now, just launching the forum. In time we'd like to utilize the downloads section and perhaps other site areas (including other domains we have) for this hobby. Hope those who are into this stuff will enjoy chatting about their projects and demonstrating what they've done and how they've done it.

I too absolutely love cross stitching :) I'll have to add a pic of the biggest and hardest picture I have ever done!! I gave it to my Baba for Christmas a few years back! I didnt know this many people enjoyed cross stitching. I thought I was the odd ball for doing it. My friends always harassed me.

I actually also enjoy making those small travel diaper wipe cases... so if anyone wants one I am more than willing to make one :)

I love fancy paper, especially bright colours! I started making cards last winter and love it! I don't scrapbook, I don't have the attention span to finish a whole page but a card I can do. I love stamping so much that I signed up to sell them for Stampin Up! I pretty much did it to get the discount on my start up kit :D I don't really have time to do parties and I thought I would just order my pretty paper and stamps.

So I thought I would share it with you. I am happy to put an order in for you and offer you 10% for any ivf.ca member.

They have so many great stamps for any occasion. Have a look and send me a private message and we can go from there.

i'm a big quilter - i've been quilting for many years buying fabric is like a huge addiction for me!! :) I wish i could post some pictures here but the files are too big and i'm not sure how to make them smaller.

I just got some basic supplies for christmas as i am hoping to start scrapbooking - for those who have lots of experience - where would a 'newbie' start??

Hi Lea, digital scrapbooking has become very popular. There are lots of free sites, you can google them. My friend prints them at costco for a couple of dollars.
I would suggest a class, you get to use many tools and learn ideas without having to make a big investment.

Me (Kerri-Lyn) 41, DH (Steve) 37, TTC since April 2007Unexplained IF (possibly crappy eggs, AMH 10.4 = poor responder) - HSG, SHGx3, Lap, Cycle Monitoring, Recurrent loss bloods, EMB, Karyotyping, DNA Frag - all normal! 7 IUI's, 2 cancelled IVF's, 3 complete IVF's, 1 FET, 2 clinics, 1 early miscarriage, lots of debt, lots of heartache, lots of tears. We rolled the dice and got lucky on our last ditch "close the door" cycle and have a beautiful little girl. April 2014 - Had the crazy notion to try for another. Shocked with a BFP, miscarried @ 8W6D. See my "about me" page for more cycle details.
