i had my sister in law come to see me today even though she had only seen me on the Thursday she came to see me today again.We sat in the kitchen talking and all of a sudden she said can you show me what i would need to make greetings cards like you aswell as can i order her the things to make them,i relied yes in shock.You see this is not the person i know,she was never a person to sit and do anything like that also i did not think that kind of thing would interest her.She is showing another side to herself all the time,this is not the person i used to know.

Here I thought this was going to be a discussion about something bad that happened. I'm glad your sister in law is putting an interest in making greeting cards, maybe the two of you can work on some together some time. Glad your finding a different side to your sister in law, It's always fun to be spontaneous, maybe this is just one of her moment!

I am glad to see I am not the only one who took the title that way. It is a nice change to be surprised by something positive.

Yes I was thinking how we as humans instantly think it's something bad or negative, and I'm not sure why we do... but it is great that it is positive for once.

That's so cool.. there are definitely things that one can learn from someone and I'm glad that you are able to know this interesting discovery about your sister in law. Perhaps both of you can work out something and make greeting cards together.. and who knows..start a mini business or so..

hi dear i believe we dont know anyone , sometimes i believe we dont know ourselves ..there was once i knew myself and that time i was 18 .. when i turned 21 and got myself a job and had my boyfriend .. i realised i was totally different, i was doing things to accomodate this new things in my life .. from then on until now my whole life is not mine to decide mostly as my boyfriend is my husband and stuck into his family , my decisions must always relate to them ..
i believe for the woman we change all the time to accomodate the srroundings .. what ever your sister in law is going tru may make her change , welcome it if it is for betterment

That's terrific, jugs. Sounds like your sister-in-law admires your talent and wants to be like you. That is a big compliment. Perhaps also she wants to spend more time with you or get to know you better and thought sharing your hobby would be a good way.

Well some people are really unpredictable. Like me I always show the good side of me to everyone. Few people knows my bad side. We choose what people want to think of us and it is not really shocking if someone has something new in him every time,=)

That's interesting! May be she always had that side of her and never let it out, and now she couldn't hide it any longer? Most people I know are quiet predictable and I don't see much difference in them.

That is the greatest compliment I think! People can be unpredictable and surprise us on occasion. I think it goes to show that the majority of us are capable of stepping out of the box every now and again and venture out into the unknown. I would feel very flattered if I was you; your sister in law obviously has been admiring your cards for some time.

Why not? If you can help her find the maning in her life by doing things he never did but always wanted to or admired you on the sly that you are able to do things she is only capable of dreaming... she will remember you as someone who changed her life. And in principle one should never consider that I have known this person enough. You must always leave a door open for changing our opinions about paople

Maybe she has figured out that since she is part of the family that she is going to enjoy the time with the family..... Embrace it if you can get along with her..... Some family members you just can't get along with it..... I think it is nice you have found something in common with her.....

I think that it is very neat that she is taking up an interest that is similar to an interest of your own. That is great. People are constantly changing beings, much like the tide, so we will come across things that come to interest us that we may not have had an interest in during the past. That is what I would assume is happening to her. Whatever is the cause for her taking an interest in it, you should be happy that she asked you to teach her.

I think it's not that bad at all. Maybe your sister in law is trying to get close to you or is trying to catch up to you or make amends for something she had done in the past. Give her the chance and try to ask sometimes why is she doing that

Actually, that is a person you know. It's just an aspect of her that you were unaware of, the creative side. She obviously just hasn't encouraged it before. But people are changing all the time, the get interest in new things and lose interest in old ones.
Try not to become too bogged down in what you think a person is like because they may just go and shock you by changing or expressing something they haven't expressed before.
Don't worry though, we're all guilty of stereotyping people, trying to put them in neat little boxes. But we also need to be ready for them to break out of those boxes too.

I think that sometimes even people learn new things about themselves and I think it's great that she is wanting to try something new. I think it is the better side of life to try new things. She has probably saw how much you enjoy it and figures she might have a lot of fun too. Take care.

Yes this is not the person you know but she is opening up to you and letting you see her in a whole new light. This means that you are feeling like family to her and making her comfortable with sharing her feelings and way of thinking as well as what she wants to do and learn. This can be very rewarding for both of you. Take this as a complement and go with it as long as it is nothing illegal or stupid to do.

I've had a lot of friends who have changed very suddenly and I've been completely shocked. The most recent was my old roommate who decided to elope with a boy who she hadn't dated since she was in high school. Then she got a tattoo on the back of her neck. I was speechless because she used to hate tattoos and put people down who had them. I guess people are constantly evolving and it isn't right to think that they can't become completely different.

I think we need a lot time to really know someone very well, and every one growing every day with ability to learn a new thing every day. People tend to show certain impression to others for a special purpose, when you know them more you will surprise with this human, they are all unique.
