Who here loves using paper in their crafts??

I do very much. I used to make cards...isn't that how most of us start out at least??..but now I do more mixed media, using lots of paper, watercolours, medium products (gesso etc), stencils, and so much more.

I've been lucky enough to get over to Melbourne twice to Paperific, and it was awesome to see so much product that I'd never heard of before.

It is getting very hard to source products in NZ now (in REAL shops), but also, it's getting the same in Australia. Not sure why. I guess because it's easier to buy on the internet.

I've been busy rearranging my craft area, so that it is a more usable and manageable space. I like to be able to reach my stuff, without getting out of my chair. My trolley on wheels is brilliant for that.

What are you all making at the moment?? It would be great to share ideas here.
I am very happy that nzoomed has given us our own sub category, as I felt that at times, us paper crafters got a bit 'lost' in the general crafts/hobbies board on TM. So many people doing sewing/knitting and the like. We now have our own space. Thanks tmmb/nzoomed et al

I hope you can see this.

What do you think?

Thanks Nzoomed for putting this together. Much appreciated, and you’ve done a fantastic job in so little time. Glad we didn’t all end up stuck on that other board. 

Onward and upward! Cheers.

Maybe the graduations could be as follows: 

"Still Wet Behind The Ears"... then...

"Mid Life Crisis".... then...

"Aged Disgracefully.... and finally...

"Old Fart" 

Ah just a thought hehehe. 

It seems like a few people are having issues getting the hang of the "quote" feature. Fair enough! It's a bit more complex than the system Trademe use on their boards. 

Here's a quick rundown:

1) Quote a single post
Simply click the "reply" button below the post you want to quote and reply to.

Example image: https://i.imgur.com/LsjyKK1.png

This will open the "new thread" window with the selected post quoted. Start typing your message underneath the quote box (not inside it, as this will make your reply part of the quote).



2) Quote multiple posts

PLEASE NOTE: This feature allows selecting multiple posts to quote in your reply.  It is intended for the following scenarios only...

1. Two or more users post much the same content that you wish to reply to.
   
2. Two or more users post complementary information about the same topic
   
3. A single reply is required to two or more posts
   

Serious people, don't get involved in the silly game that some posters want to 'think' or 'create' that there is or should be a conspiracy around this board and the other one.

Some will use it to claim why certain things are said or happening........it isn't a freaking contest so don't buy into their dramas


These things never end well and threaten the existence of both boards.

Enjoy whatever board you want to post on for whatever reasons even if it's both

Seeing the heartbreaking video of his mum showing his heartbreak of being bullied and wanting to end his life
I have a 14-year-old girl who has Aspergers and was bullied quite badly in her first year of school
was a horrible year with tears at being dropped off in the morning
She has some good friends at the school and this year shes happy confident positive
Whos at fault with the bullying??
Schools can only do so much and yes this school my girl went to was very supportive but isn't it up to the parents to teach compassion??
I strongly believe compassion is not taught/shown in some families 
so what can change to change this??

Happy poets day everyone
Got a well stocked bar & first round is on me 

Where do you like to save your work.  Thinking that I should look at an alternative to Flickr where I have quite a few.  Preferably free.  I'm a fairly hard-up pensioner.
