Seriously.
See, my desktop is my main computer. It crashed on me, and after trying multiple times to make it work again, I walked away from it. I used my laptop to work on things for the contest, such as the few posts. Everything else was done before the stupid thing crashed.
Admit it, you want to do the same thing with your computer. I do!!!!
Sadly, not all my settings are transferred to the laptop. Like the Gmail accounts, that hold the entries. And that one of the Artists sent me a message on to tell me I missed their work.
I am so sorry!!!!!!!
So, to correct this oversite, I have a contest that will now on, run with the contest here. The Kittyinaz’s Facebook Group will be able to vote on things and give their input. Right now, all the banners are in there including the missing ones. I have it pinned to the top and will run it through 11/17 midnight.
The good news is that the desktop is kinda fixed. After I finish doing the Banner contest page, I will be contacting the Windows people to see what they can do. I cannot open anything Office related and I really wanted to start editing some stories.
I also am going to start a quilt page on here. Just so you guys can see what I am working on. I have 2 more that ABSOLUTELY have to be finished before Christmas, and 3 more after that that I want to finish. I should be good, especially since this weekend I am spending getting the first project done, my curtains. Then I will be working on the quilts with only breaks to edit some stories here and there. I have all sorts of fun things to help me make them, I have a scan and cut (it’s basically a cricut) and an embroidery machine, that I am already making my summer quilt for….
I am also having to replace some stuff from Harvey. My Christmas stuff gets stored in the garage, and hubby forgot that they were NOT waterproof. I also lost winter clothes and so on. So I am going to have to make (or buy) replacements. The things you never think of.
And for all those who are reviewing, you ARE the reason why my muse is starting to stir. I am going to be editing what I already have written to start with. And getting ahead with the betas and so on. But I will be posting something as well as getting my butt moving on Christmas prompts.
So much to do, and hopefully, this machine keeps working. I can’t afford another one. To get one that works as hard as this one does, we are looking around $1,000. MY laptop was NEVER meant to take the place of this thing. It is supposed to allow me to work out of the office more. Buying the house made it where this didn’t get replaced this year. (Yes, we save money up for the 2 or so years to get these computers, but this one is over 5 years old. It was slated to be replaced but Houses come first. Ancient in the world of computers, but because we spend so much money, they last longer for us.) And since we wiped out our savings for the house, it will be awhile for it to replaced. So I will eek it out as long as I can. Though I plan to make Quilts to see if I can supplement the income some. I have no idea how to go about this, so we will see.
To wrap this up, I fudged up bigtime. I missed 3 entries (which are good!!) to be entered into the Banner contest, and instead, have the contest running in the Facebook Group. It will run until 11/17. If you want to join, you have to answer some questions to be allowed inside. I will be editing written chapters to send to betas. I will be doing the Christmas prompts. And I will be working on making the quilts so I can have Christmas finished. For gift giving at least. And will start posting what I have done so far, as soon as I can get this thing working right.
Thanks for the patience, and double for the reviews that are motivating me to get back to writing. Just to balance Quilting and Writing. Both are outlets for me, and both allow me to work while thinking about the other. Though it is more Quilting allowing me to think on writing, as well as having me listen to music and think of stories.
