I'm such a Techie, NOT!

"Tree Bird, a new kit coming soon to Pumpkin Patch Primitives"
So you know my computer is having a hissy fit and I have no intention on putting any more time, energy or resources ($$$) into it. I decided that I needed to go Mac and I did...almost three weeks ago, thankyouverymuch!
Well, while my new baby sits and waits for me to unpack and learn how to use it, life and business must go on. Today I had to post a pic of a kit I have on the cutting table that I will be listing later tonight and I had a Techie "moment". What if I put the little camera card in the little slot on the computer tower, like Sandy does? HMMM. Will it swallow my card? (OH stop it, you know you have that question too but are too chicken to stand up and say so!)...
Well, I'll have you know that it does not swallow the card, it pops up a window and OMG! Your pics are there. HAHAHA. How amazing is that?! Don't laugh at me! I'm trying to teach you something here!!!
OK, OK...so now that the pic is in the computer (and because the computer refuses to do any work on its own), I found a program online that crops, tags and resizes everything. so you can save the image exactly as you want it. TADAAAA. And it only takes 45 minutes to do one image, LOL!!!
OK, so it's not the fastest way, but I just had to show you... I'm so on my way to becoming a bonafide member of Best Buy's Geek Squad, NOT! HAHAHA.

I'm Alive but My Computer is Dying!

I'm Alive! HOORAY!
That was the good news...the bad news is that although I have TONS to tell you, I am a graphic person and I need pictures to tell my stories. If I can't get my pictures up, I just lose my mojo and don't want to share. Yep, I'm like that. No pictures, no story.
And so, there you have it. I am a no show because my computer is sucking the big one and it refuses to let me do anything. I would tell you where and how I got this image but I refuse to incriminate myself so let's just say, "I found myself" online, LOL!
This is a brand new pattern I picked up at market and will soon have in stock...
Oh yes I did, I went to market... Don't even get me started. I had my sister taking pictures left and right and now they are zipped up tight in a folder I cannot access on my computer.
Anyway, I have sooo much to say, and no pictures so I'm leaving now before I have a meltdown.
I just wanted to let you know that I just bought a new computer and as soon as I get it up and
I finally have access to my pictures I have a BOATLOAD of stuff to share.
Oh, and my handsome Prince turned 15. Can you believe it? I can't believe I have survived the past 11 years, I think it's just God's mercy but there you have it... eleven years of Autism and I am still here. Moms with new DX's take note. If it doesn't kill you, it will make you stronger!
I have a story to share..but not without a pic.
OMG! I'm taking GP to Disney. Next week. I feel like I'm about to stand on a ledge and jump. Yep, it's another scary adventure and when my dear friend Michelle (Rocking Chair Stitches) asked me why I was taking him there if I was so terrified, I told her the God's honest truth, because he wants to go and I want to make him happy. So there you go. Send me your prayers 'cause you KNOW I'm going to need them. I have a great pic of GP on his BD. It's on Facebook because I can upload it directly from my phone.
I'll be back soon folks. Please know that I have not deserted you .
My computer is running on fumes, LOL! Big hugs, B=)

Oh, C'mon!

I've tried to upload this darn image three times this week and when it pops up sideways I say a few words in Spanish which cannot be translated because this is a family friendly blog and just abandon the post. Seeing how it seems that I am never going to be able to share my cutie pie with you here, I'll leave you a link so you can see what it looks like when it's not flopped over. ARGH!
See it and read all about it HERE! I wish I knew how to store my images somewhere. When my sister comes in the Fall I'll ask her to teach me. I don't want to leave Blogger. I'm bummed that this image thing is ruining my blogging experience. Who the heck wants to read a crafting blog w/o pictures? Hello? Ok, no more whining...anyone have some cheese? LOL!

ARGHHH!


It's hard to post when every time I try to post something goes amuck.
Blogger is flipping my images. What is Up with THAT!? I am sooo frustrated!


I'm so done, stick a fork in me, I'm done!
ARGH!!!

Ever have one of those DUH moments?

Remember when I changed my settings to monitor comments? Then I changed them back? OK, so that was a while ago but you know me, I'm a genius! LOL! SO today I decided to try to find out why the dashboard reads "17 comments waiting for ..." ; I'm thinking, "What comments?", but I just ignore the thing and write my post. But today I said, "That's enough already!" and I went and did the techie (sp?) thing and wouldn't you know it, there were 17 comments in Limbo Land. Oh, man. I had to give myself a "DUH!"...y'know, sometimes even I overestimate my technical skills. Good thing I changed it back or I would have thought I was all alone and no one cared, LOL!
