Oh what a nightmare!  And to have my computer crash this month of all times 
>.
  I finally got my computer back up and going Saturday  after 
having it down since Wednesday night... I lost both of my hard drives , and my multi I/O controler and comports... what a mess!!!!  I 
have still not fully recovered from the experience.  I am working on it 
though.
  After a few "different" experiences yesterday, I managed a some what crafty 
day, much to my suprise!
  I went to a new RS store and found some very interesting new stamps and 
water color crayons and peragamo supplies and even some quilting related 
stamps and supplies... now of course I just "had" to have many of these 
goodies.... so I walked out of the shoppe $50.00 poorer ... but 21 stamps 
richer, as well as I picked up some stencils and the water color crayons....
  I will be making a few yo-yo's today for some of the cards that I want to 
make and then even doing a bit of a mini-block on one card  if all 
goes well... 
  Talk about combining various crafting mediums!!!!  This should be very 
interesting... 
  Well anyway it is so good to be back online and able to read and write 
messages again...
