Stay tuned for a special promotion on the BIG SHOT, at the end of my post!!
Well, after a little over 2 months, I am back to blogging again.
I'll have to be truthful and say that I decided to take a small break, but then it turned into a HUGE break!! Not intentionally.
Funny how you can stop doing something (like exercising or whatever) and mean to get right back to it, but pretty soon....it's a change that's hard to get back to! Does that make sense??
Even though I wasn't posting on my blog, I was busy, busy, busy making cards, still doing the Stamp Of The Month and my monthly newsletter.
I decided, the other day, when I was doing my Card Buffet (this is in place of the SOTM), that I really needed to get back to my blog. Even if no one ever reads it, it's good therapy for me!
Well, I wanted to share what happened the other day and offer a suggestion, (that all of us stampers and scrappers KNOW but just in case you have never had this happen...beware).
I was working on my Card Buffet (more information about that on the Card Buffet tab) and had all my photos taken, edited and my Tutorials all completed. I clicked SAVE and began printing.
Well, long story short, I had a plate on top of my printer.....and when the printer was printing, the plate started to move and came down and hit a full cup of coffee and my cards and knocked them ALL to the floor. I had just gotten up from the computer to go do something while my Tutorials were printing and heard a loud crash....and turned around to see all 10 cards laying in a big puddle of coffee, with my plate in three pieces! I immediately got my cards up and out of that mess and put them on a counter to dry.
I cleaned up the mess and then went back to see how much damage was done to the cards. Well, you can see one of them, below, and the rest were varying degrees of the same thing. On this card, I was trying out the new
Hearts & Stars Decorative Masks.
This is the set I used this month, for the Card Buffet, since I had already announced it as the SOTM.
I was sick!!! But, then again, I was happy as I had already photographed them so there really wasn't a problem with getting my Card Buffet out that day. :-)
My plate (a part of a set of Doulton that someone had given to me) was trashed....but my TIGGER mug was SAFE!!!
So, I have learned that liquids should be no where near my cards!!!! Although, I still have a cup of coffee or other drink on my desk when I am stamping, I keep them way away from my cards and no longer put a plate on my printer....sigh
So, really, all I was out was my cards that I had worked on for days.
But, lesson learned.....don't eat at the computer and put your plate on the printer for later.
I am also thankful that my cell phone wasn't sitting on that side of the desk, as it usually is.
