I wonder if people are having internet problems because of he huge magnetic storm this past weekend... it caused a beautiful display of Northern lights though as far south as Oregon on the west coast.
Home made cards are great as well! Drawn, computer generated ... sometimes I like to cut out a heart shape & make a simple message like, I love you, in it.
Sometimes the workshops get filled so if you really want to do one then go line up early, but just watching everyone in cosplay & how creative some of them are is really interesting.
