Where, oh where, do I start? 

At the 'beginning' (on past hobbies & interests), or at the 'end' (on the current madnesses consuming my time)? 

Well, a lot of our flying interests/madnesses are covered elsewhere, so maybe here, I'll begin with card making and the associated crafts by which you can become totally consumed...

CARDMAKING SITES

So far, the web sites I've investigated for this have been great. This will not be an all-encompassing list, as I'm only new to this craft, and limited by what what I've read or heard about. However, personally, I've found value at the following sites:

 
Decorative Rubber Stamps and Accessories - The Stamping Paws. http://www.zip.com.au/~bigpaw/index.html

 

Extraordinary Rubber Art Stamps from Lucy’s stamps. If you've ever seen Ratty and Jumping Eddie, then you'll know about Lucy's Stamps. The web site not only has the range of Lucy's online, but also the chance to see some sample cards and , in the future, communicate with fellow stampers. The site (and business) is dedicated to Lucy's daughter and her battle with Leukaemia.  http://www.lucysstamps.com.au/
