I am to the point where I am walking around with that "deer in the headlights" look on my face. I have missed all of my Christmas deadlines, I am creating nothing - not even Christmas cards or gifts (hence the deadline missing, above), and my studio looks like a whirlwind came through it, putting things in places they're not supposed to be.

I do have a new computer up and running. Finally. It took me 2-1/2 days to transfer everything over and getting everything set up the way it was on the old one. And no, I'm not quite done yet, as I had some...issues. I'm very happy with my early Christmas present, but I obviously did not think things through very well. Setting up a new computer is relatively easy. Transferring contents from the old to the new is not so easy. Or at least, it's not fast. So why did I not wait until after all of my Christmas deadlines were complete? It's a mystery.

And naturally, when I set up the new computer, I had to rearrange my desk, too. No, still not done.

I've also been happily monitoring the first week of StampHaven's opening and enjoying seeing all my old (and new) friends. If you love to stamp, talk about stamping and sharing your stamping projects, come join us!

Like vintage stamping and art? Try The Vintage Veranda - all vintage, all the time! Both sites are free to join.

On a final note, this is but one of the reasons why I refuse to use Microsoft Internet Explorer as my browser: Serious flaw in Internet Explorer not fixed yet. What do I use? Firefox from Mozilla. It's free; you can download it here.

(No, I don't use Microsoft Outlook Express or Outlook, either. Both are havens for spammers. I use another Mozilla product for all of my email: Thunderbird. Yep, it's free, too. (And it's spam controls are oh, so much better!)
