Check-In Post November 21st 2020

Hello to all members, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


Today's Question: What was the last thing someone made for you?


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

I haven't checked in for a few days so this is a catchup.
I had to answer the question "what tool could I not do without". It's the world's thinnest stanley knife. Super lightweight plastic from a two dollar shop but it's been my constant cardmaking companion for twenty years. It's perfect for all the fidgety foil stickers and wording, for pulling away the backing from two-sided tape, making holes for split pins and using it to position pre-taped pieces into place. I use it for everything.
Todya I braved getting out all my cardmaking stuff, only to find heaps of stuff I don't even remember buying. It was a bit like Christmas. :) I made a couple of cards but didn't feel they were very good. I didn't have much inspiration, it was more just a desire to get it all out. Not the lounge room is filled with big boxes and two fold out tables. There's two more boxes but these had the stuff I was most likely to use. What a mess!

Ah, the creative process...it's always a messy one! ;D

And that's after I tidied it up for the day! You should have seen it earlier!

Once you know what's in there, you'll be able to come up with projects.

That sounds like the world's best all purpose tool!

And yay for getting out the crafting stuff, and for surprises!
