When I retired, I swore I would not obligate myself to anything that I would have to do every day, and I haven't. I decided to start this blog because I believe in an organization called Operation Write Home. If I can encourage one person to donate cards to this cause, then the blog will be worth it. It's not going to be all about carding or anything in particular. I started out making birthday cards for my friends and party invitations for our Christmas Open House and Annual Shrimp boil. With the discovery of Operation Write Home, I took seriously to card making and my scrapbooking has pretty much gone by the wayside.
So why Tangents from Tazmania for a blog title? My Weight Watcher friends nicknamed me Taz for the Tasmanian Devil, whom they say I resemble in the pace that I set. The tangents is two fold. I am a mathematician by trade and tangent is a mathematical term referring to a line that intersects a circle in one and only point. A circle can have infinite tangents that intesect each other or not at all. Tangents take off in different directions. TazMania is the name of my hobby shop that my DH and I built last summer and fall. Its where I go to craft(it sure helps to keep my house neater) which could be sewing, scrapbooking, creating party invitations or carding. I might even be out there exercising. So as I post, the topics can cover anything from cards I've made to kayaking on Tibbee Creek and any project I might be working at any given moment(projects change from moment to moment and seem to be infinite in number just like tangents). I may not post every day, but I will try to post on a regular basis. So come along and join me on this wild ride for sure.
