2009-08-28T21:39:00.005+10:00

Here are some new layouts I did over the last few weeks.
This LO is made with the fantastic freebie template from digiridooscraps blog by Mean Momma Designs, and with the fabulous Doodle-Luscious Kit by LDrag Designs.
This is my youngest dgd. Her answer to not wanting her photo taken? Poke your tongue out. Ahhh! But she forgot her nannie is a scrapper..........I thought the pic was even better because of the tongue sticking out LOL!!!!!!This was another freebie template by Mean Momma Designs which I changed around to fit more pics on the page. The background papers are mine, the main paper is from Rouge Noir by Scrap'It Designs by Brianna Cox, and the elements are by Lily Designs.
This is my middle dgd loving her time at the conservertory.This is a new kit by Scrap'It Designs by Brianna Cox called Basic Instincts.
A LO of our favourite waitress at our favourite cafe`.
This LO was done for a speed scrap at digiridoo scraps using Sarh Barbers Tangerine Kit.
My gorgeous youngest dgd again.
Not many LO's I know, but I have been doing wedding pages too for my nieces wedding album. I'm not posting those because I don't want her seeing them until the whole album is completed.

Bandwidth Problem Rectified

2009-07-25T14:53:00.003+10:00

I just want to apologise to all you wonderful people who have tried to download the freebie papers and have been getting the message that there isn't enough bandwidth. I don't know what the problem was, but it has now been rectified.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

New Freebie For You!

2009-07-19T11:10:00.003+10:00

I did a set of papers for the Design Me This Challenge at Digiridooscraps and got a little carried away. I ended up with 12 silver, lime and pink papers instead of 3, so here they are if you would like to have them. They are in 3 seperate downloads so they're not too large for dial up customers. HOPE YOU ENJOY THEM.
Send me a link if you use them for a LO, I would love to see what you do with them.

Would You Believe It??????

2009-07-16T20:18:00.002+10:00

Just bought the new laptop right?
Got in touch with an old school friend of Bree's who has a computer business and asked him to take all the stuff off my old computer and put it onto my new laptop. I took the old computer to him on Saturday afternoon, and while I was there he decided to take the side panel off and just take a quick look inside. This of course means nothing to me because there is just a jumble of 'thingies' inside a computer, nothing that I'm interested in. He told me the capacitors were not looking good, but said he thought he could get the computer working again for me without too much trouble........this is the computer that the other guys said wasn't worth fixing and would cost too much so don't bother, remember?
So, I ask, how much do you think it will cost to get working again, thinking it would be way too much to bother even trying. He tells me with a new motherboard and some other bits and pieces, and labour....around $200, did I want to go ahead? Did I want to go ahead......if I had any idea the machine could be fixed for $200 I wouldn't have just spent a small fortune buying a new laptop!!! Go ahead and try said I.
Well, I had a phone call from this lovely young man yesterday letting me know he has fixed the computer, and has had it running for a few days with not a problem. I can go and pick it up. After a short phone conversation with him today, to arrange day and time of pick up, I was yet again gobsmacked by his response when asked how much it ended up costing to fix. He explained that he hadn't had to replace the mother board, that there had been a bit of a problem with the memory which he had fixed and would explain fully to me when I picked it up, so the total cost was $100. Can you believe that?????
I will have CS2 back again tomorrow, and my old computer is working better than ever! I am so thankful that Bree gave me his number, and I am so thankful that there are some honest, hard working technicians out there who believe in giving excellent service for a fair price. I will be reccomending him to everyone!!! Thanks so much Vaughn for excellent service with a smile. Vaughn runs QWA Computers in Bendigo, so if you live nearby and need your computer fixed, give him a call.

Two Exciting Pieces of News

2009-07-08T17:25:00.004+10:00

Firstly, I got the new job I applied for!!!!! I start on 3rd August. It has been quite sad resigning from my current job as I have been there for over 14 years, and the people I work with are like family. I always thought I would be there until I retired, but it just goes to show how quickly things can change. None of us know what life holds for us, and there are little surprises and unexpected forks in the road awaiting us even when we think life has become a bit humdrum. My last day in this job is July 16th, then a couple of weeks holiday, then training and into the new job. I am feeling re energised and excited that I will be doing something a little different, as well as learning new skills again, in my working life.
The really good thing is that I will still be able to see my current work colleagues often, as my new work place is not far from where I work now. I like that!!!

Another exciting thing for me this week is that I finally bought a new computer after being without a computer for quite a few weeks. I ummed and ahhed whether to buy another desktop or to go with a laptop this time. The decision was made more difficult because with my new job there is quite a bit of travel, which means I will be away overnight sometimes. This made me consider a laptop so that I could scrap and work on the site instead of being bored in a sterile motel/hotel room. The down side was that after reading a lot of the pro's and con's of laptops in relation to digi scrapping, it seemed that the laptop screens let the side down badly when used for photo editing and digiscrapping. As this is 90% of what I spend my time doing on the computer it seemed I was going to have to get used to the boredom in motel rooms.

Bruce finally came up with a solution that seemed to cover the whole gammut of problems - buy a laptop that I could take away with me, but at home plug in my monitor...problem solved!

After lots of searching and homework, I finally bought a Dell Studio 17. Pretty good gaming card for those of us who like to play games (512mb), 500gb HD, 4gb RAM, fingerprint security, face recognition, built in web cam and microphone, AND BEST OF ALL...........a 17" cystal clear screen...........nearly as good as my LCD screeen. So no problem with scrapping even when I'm away. I'm rapt.........sigh!

I still have to have ring the service guy and get all the stuff off my old computer syphoned off and put onto the new one, and of course I have to get Photoshop loaded again, but I am on my way. I haven't been able to do a LO since early June, so I am suffering withdrawals badly, but at least there is light at the end of the tunnel now. SOON I keep telling myself, SOON!
