Hello,
Hope you all had a wonderful Easter Weekend. I had a wonderful time with my family and then Monday happened. Came downstairs switched on computer. Then disaster struck! A virus had infected my computer after paying a fortune on protection and I lost everything on my computer! I mean everything!!! Well, I was beside myself, no blogging, every single precious family photo gone, all my CS2 software, windows gone. So after raging, crying beside myself in despair Kim. My neighbour gave me the number of the one and only Dave! He is now officially my knight in shining armour. He hotfooted round to make my computer better. He got it started, cleaned it completely and then he took my external hardrive that I had backed up my whole computer onto. (Which I didn't know how to work). He then gradually put everything back. Oh my lord I love Dave! So whatever you do everyone back up everything. Eventually at midnight last night all was restored and well with the world.
So I have now been able to make and put my Whiff of Joy card onto my blog. This is Rogue Charlotte and I have coloured her with distress inks. The background I have distressed with old paper and edged with vintage photo. I die cut the flowers using quickutz and then distressed with pine needles and sprayed with glimmer mist. I have edged my card and flowers with krylon pen.
Thank you so much for bearing with me. Take care.
love

So glad you got your pooter fixed. I lost lots of things when my computer died a few years ago. Pictures of the kids that I'd taken on my digital camera so nothing was saved as a hard copy and nothing backed up. I learnt my lesson that day.

Hi Kim,
You made the most gorgeous card again. I love them all. Congrats with your DT of Just Magnolia, They did best to choose you.
xoxo Ceciel
Oh crikey Kim, what a nightmare you've had! Quite frightening that everything on your computer could have been lost even with security on it. Was he able to find out how the virus got in? Glad all is well and you were able to show us your fabulous card. I love Rogue Charlotte, she looks like a little tom boy. Wonderful colouring, papers and details and those glimmer misted flowers are gorgeous. I sent you an email the other day, so perhaps it didn't get to you with everything that was happening on your computer. Hope you're well and thank you so much for my beautiful birthday card, it's perfection in every way. Chris xxx
