Back and Catching Up

Whew...I'm back and trying to catch up from the week. My company has all gone home *sad*. We had a great time with all, but it went by too quickly. It's amazing how empty a house feels when company leaves. We went to several estate sales and antique shops, so there have been some little treats found which I'll post more about later and inspiration for some more creations for my shops.

Our computer went down also during this time, and MANY thanks go to my dear brother-in-law, Dave, the computer guy in the family, who got things squared away last night. I can't believe how much I use this crazy computer during any given day, and when it breaks down, I pathetically am stumped on many levels.

An answer to prayer...we got a new camera! I had been praying for one, and one was given to us recently. Our other one decided to not work at all at times, and the timing was perfect to receive this new one. I'm still experimenting on how to use it and feel optimistic that my pictures will now improve.

One thing I'm very excited about is winning Cheryl's giveaway--you remember the one--the one with the absolutely gorgeous things in it that I blogged about a few weeks ago (the check it out but please don't enter one). I'm tickled pink and can't wait until it arrives. Thank you, Cheryl. She is hosting another giveaway...and besides she has a lovely blog to read if you haven't already visited at zany-mayd.blogspot.com.

I guess that catches you up on things for now. It's good to be back. There are more posts to come.
