Well, as soon as I got my internet connection working again, my laptop "caught" an incurable virus and I have spent the past week buying a new hard drive, installing it with the help of my computer genius brother-in-law (thanks, Chris!) and slowly reinstalling all of my software (and calling to get new activation codes for some of the programs). Fortunately, I backup my photos and other files frequently and we were also able to access my old hard drive to recover other information but this experience has reminded me how much I rely on my computer on a daily basis and that I need to continue to keep backups of all my important digital information!
The silver lining - I upgraded from a 100 GB hard drive to 250 GB and have lots more "breathing room" for all my photos and the videos I hope to start making and sharing!
So now - I hope that all my computer troubles are over and that I can finally get some of my new files and projects posted.
I also want to say welcome to many recent new subscribers - many of you seem to have discovered my blog from the Cricut Chirp newsletter "Project Corner and Spotlight" which featured my Happy Halloween design. I hope you will find lots of inspiration and help here!
