Hi there. I'm Robin and I live in Auckland, New Zealand, with my husband and our last remaining cat of a huge array of tamed ferals, mainly from the one clan. She has kidney disease so I'm not sure how much longer she's got.
We have one daughter who will gain her BS degree at the end of the year from the University of Arizona. She is married to a wonderful American guy. We've been over a couple of times and absolutely love it there. I get depressed back home though when I can't get what I want and I know it's in Joanns or Michaels or wherever. There's still a heck of a lot here but I know there's heaps there and the prices are better except when our exchange rate sabotages my spending.
I came across digital scrapbooking a while ago and used PSP7 and 8. I've also used PS Elements and I taught the GIMP at a local community night school for a while. I now use PS CS6.
Then, I came across electronic cutters and got a Bosskut Gazelle which allowed me to make some fabulous things including stuff from SVGCuts and others. In my research, I saw the Silver Bullet but decided not to spend that much. A few years later and I decided I'd get the best! It arrived this morning, it's out of the box but it may take me a while to have a go. I'm not exactly scared; just a little nervous about yet another learning curve, lol! However, Joanne from Cutting Edge Craft in Australia, who was extremely helpful with my enquiries, has given me a few websites to learn from, this being one of them. I'm so looking forward to learning from you guys. I've already looked at Penny's diffuser tutorial and had an aha moment.
Cheers!
Robin
