When I log off I'll be making 2 cards & a selection of bookmarks - one lot for a friend's birthday tomorrow (oops, gotta get my skates on & card into mailbox before end of day), the other for my old boss who is retiring on Friday.

I have far more Japanese paper & other paper & cardboard than any human can use in one lifetime, same with beads, & most other stuff I collect.

My papers & beads are perfect arranged (I do more arranging than using!)

Liz, I only have a large bikkie tin full of stranded cotton, but I do have 2 huge 3kilo jars full of blending filaments, & 8 perle, & a smaller bikkie tin of silk stranded threads, & an assortment of old bakelite lidded jars & 2lb coffee jars full of other threads like 3 perle, 12 perle, silk buttonhole twist, other silks, hand-dyed threads ...
