Whew! Time waits for no man (or woman), right?

My computer was giving me problems so, while it’s still functioning alright, it crashes regularly and just generally causes problems while working with it. It has been taken apart and checked out by a professional and then reformatted. It still has problems.

Instead of waiting for it to die on me and losing everything, I took steps this time to keep from losing it all. I got an external hard drive and did a full back up of my docs and application data. I also got a new laptop, so I can slowly migrate and clean things up before my old computer keels over. So I’ve been working on switching things over and finally got around to adding some of my email addies (to find hundreds of emails waiting for me).

I’ve also been taking care of mom’s mail-order business for her while she’s “on vacation” for a month or so. She went up to Ohio to visit my sister and her family. Sis recently adopted four kids (ack!) and then went and got pregnant. She just had her baby last month (or maybe it was the month before) so mom wanted to go meet all her new grandbabies.

Needless to say, I’ve been busy here and making books and dolls hasn’t been at the top of the list. Hopefully, I’ll have something art related to post soon (once I get my photo-editing software on this new computer and can get some photos ready).
