PC problems!

I have had a week of PC problems, my desktop froze and I could not open a thing when I restarted it, so off to the shop it went. Thanks goodness I have everything saved to 2 EHD's, and have a laptop to fall back on, so I was not completely devastated! But it turned out to be a windows problem and after a repair it was returned but after 1 minute of opening it last night the same thing happened. I was so frustrated I took it upon myself to try and sort it out. So in safe mode a first saved all my email addys and then completely deleted all the emails I didn't want, there were thousands, then I did a clean and registry repair and defrag and switched the PC off and went to bed, and this morning YAY, it is perfect!!!! So far......
My son, who is in IT says I should just reformat and start on a clean slate, he says PC's need that at least once a year! I have everything saved so thinking I may just do that!

Well, Enchanted Studio Scraps site and shop opened officially and I could relax a bit, although I am still busy with new stuff. I have a collab with Bonnie going into the shop on Thursday and will have a new freebie up on my blog as well.

January's designer collab, Fire and Ice is in the store at only $3.99 - our very first one!

Slowly getting back into the swing of things!

I always find it difficult to get back into routine after a holiday. Washing piled up everywhere and suitcases still half unpacked and we have already been at home for a week! We have had my in-laws staying with us for almost a week, they are moving here from Port Elizabeth and I have been house hunting with my mom-in-law. Fortunately on day 2 we found the perfect place. They should be here permanently in a month or so.
I have also been trying to get my new shop ready for opening day 15th, and manged to do 2 LO's and a freebie!
