Beautiful on-line greetings cards, delightfully animated. You can preview a small range free of charge but need to pay a small
annual membership fee to send cards through the site. Many designs have light music - remember to turn up your volume.
Youtube - have fun looking at favourite old video and song clips. You need to put appropriate key words in the search slot at
