Ugh. Computer Issues

 Coffee/Tea of the Day - Mint Thyme tea

Hello!

I'm hoping to be able to share at least one project this week for the baby journals I am working on, but am currently swamped trying to recover as many files as possible from my external hard drive. 

I had started to discover over the past month that I had access to fewer and fewer of the files saved on my external hard drive. the more I investigated, the more I seemed to lose. it's been devastating. I don't save much to my actual computer, but instead have relied on the external hard drive for EVERYTHING. I've lost all of my digital paper files, which alone total in the thousands. some of the paper brands are no longer in business, so it really is tragic. we are hoping that the experts at the computer repair store can retrieve at least some of those files. crossing fingers.

my mistake for not backing up from my backup. we learn the hard way, don't we? 

so crafting has been pushed a bit further down the to-do list. 

thank you to those of you who have so kindly stopped by in the past few weeks. it means a lot!

have a most amazing day!

What's Up....

Coffee of the Day - Coconut Cream

Hello, my wonderful bloggy friends! no, I haven't disappeared, although I am sure it seems that way.

I've been very busy working on my computer still. we were finally able to get another external hard drive yesterday, so I'm trying to get files cleaned up in order to transfer everything over. I'm kinda surprised at how many duplicates of images, etc. I have saved. working to eliminate all of those, but it takes a while.

the few times I come online to do some blog commenting, I find that my following feed has disappeared. it pops up every once in a while, so I do apologize to those of you who are WAY overdue for a comment for me.  hopefully things get back to normal soon.

my family had a wonderful time at the reunion! so glad they were able to go. I'm still waiting for all of the pix to come through.

now here is the part of interest for all of YOU!!!
I'm picking up goodies here and there for another blog candy! wooo hooooo! this month is my birthday, so I thought I would celebrate with all of you! be on the lookout in the next few weeks! :)

hope you have a most wonderful week! I have just GOT to get to my craft room and get busy some time this week. Camp starts this weekend, and I haven't made any of the cards for the staff yet. yikes!

Shhhhh.... it might just be fixed!

Coffee of the Day - Sweet Potato

I don't want to speak too loudly so as not to jinx myself, but my compy might just be fixed! quiet hoorahs over here! I have spent 4 straight days working like a crazy woman on it. just glad that I can do many of the repairs myself. VERY thankful for that!

my external hard drive was the culprit, having been corrupted by a file I tried to download several days ago. icky viruses and such. :(

anyhow, since that IS my back-up, I haven't had access to any of my digital files of any kind - images or papers. about 2:30pm today I was finally able to get into the device for the first time so that I could move the files back onto my hard drive. whew.... what a relief!

looks like hubby will be taking a trip to the computer store next week to pick up a new one for me. of course the boys will be more than happy to tag along, since that is one of their most favorite stores to visit!

crossing fingers I will be back in business tomorrow, which means I can be back crafting tomorrow or Monday at the very latest.

thanks for being so patient with me! love to all of you!

Serious Compy Problems

Coffee of the Day - Kahlua and Cream

My compy is having major troubles right now, so I am going to be away for a bit. I'm working like a mad woman trying to fix it. as soon as I get a few things repaired, then some other ugly problem rears its head. hope to be back in a few days, but we shall see.

in the mean time, y'all take care! big hugs to ya!
