Why Cards?

Reason 1.  I'm working in Limerick Prison teaching Arts and Crafts so this is practice for the job.

Reason 2.  It's a grim job.  Glitter, glue and fancy paper lift my spirits.  There is childlike simplicity making cards, which is in stark contrast to the dark stories and lewd comments I hear daily. 

Reason 3. I am hooked on Dexter but I don't always find it compelling viewing.  It takes approximately one episode to make one card and I can follow the program by listening alone.  The narrative and the music usually give the plot away.  

Here's my latest slew, made to season 4 of Dexter.
