Born in Glenwood Springs, CO, moved to Utah when I was 5 years old. Married and raised a family of 7. I retired at 62, but did such a good job at planning for my retirement that I still need to work. I have a very easy job of managing a self-storage facility that provides me with a 2 bedroom apartment (rent and utilities included with the small additional wage). I still own a home here in Utah, but my son and his family live there for now

Hi Hazirene,

You're most welcome. Thanks for your kind words.

I'll be on the lookout for Internet sources for you too. What would make you happier--teaching others to make greeting cards or selling the ones you make? The first order of business is to decide where you want to focus. It may not be as costly as you think to get started.

Blessings

It sounds like your greeting card hobby could be a money-making endeavor as well. Explore the wealth of information on the Internet to help you get going if this sounds of interest to you.

Most of retirees supplement their income in some way. Congratulations on finding a way to do this, provide you with living space, and give you time to develop your hobby. The more you use your time to building your greeting card business, the less boring it will be.

I agree with you, but sadly I can think of no way to get the finances it would take to start anything. I do not believe people here in Utah have any idea of the many techniques there are to make greeting cards and would love to be the first to introduce them to a world other than stamping. Also, I guess I haven't the slightest idea of how or where to go to explore the internet for any information and quite frankly can't help but wonder what could I do with any information if I don't have the cash to back it up. I will explore and give it time though. . you never know. Thanks for your words of encouragement.

By the way, being new and browsing through the various pictures, when I saw your picture what struck me and the reason I looked further is your smile seems to be as warm and vibrant as the color you are wearing. Your responses have proven that to be true. Thanks.
