I really don't know how much depression she had druing her and she's no longer here and wasn't here mentally for many years (off and on) She died last Feb from Kidney failure (ultimate cause) She had a very addictive personality and sometimes I get worried about myself. She had lots of health problems most of her life. But I can't believe all the stuff docs put her on. Lots of really heavy stuff backin the 70's etc. It's funny how all these things are legal and some other things that I feel are less harmful aren't . I just don't get it. It's puzzling. I don't take any anti depressents but I have a few friends that do. I do enjoy a couple beers after work though.

I, personally, look at them for ideas. I was terrified at doing my first swap, thinking there is no way anyone will like my card. All the swap participants that received my cards were very generous with their praise. I would then email them personally and ask them pointed questions about a special technique and they would always answer. In other words, don't let the thought that someone is judging you, stop your creativity from flowing. Join a swap, you'll not regret it.
