Did you miss me?

I missed blogging! what went wrong - well, Florian jinxed the computer when on the phone to me in the afternoon. You see, he said - "have you turned the computer off upstairs lately?" Erm, no but I'll do it today. Well, when I went upstairs to put the boys to bed, the computer was off. According to Robert - Lucas had turned it off, but I think he was making it up, as then it was no Lucas touched here, and Richard there (Richard was in bed at the time, that Lucas and Robert was upstairs!). Well, I went to turn it on, and NOTHING! Yep NOTHING! And today still NOTHING.
In the meantime Florian is home and he thinks it is probably the power supply, so a-shopping-we-will-go! That will be cheaper than a new desktop. Although Media Markt have a 0% finance thing on so if we do have a bigger problem...
Once downstairs, I forgot all about blogging, I was busy working on my cousins wedding book - way too many pictures to choose from - but I now have a deadline! The printing company (www.fotobuch.de) have an offer on 22% off of orders placed by next Thursday. Well, that is too good an offer to miss, so I am very busy.

I did take a break to enter one last challenge in July the Ad Challenge at DSO. I really wanted the WordArt posting bonus (you'll see why, once I get it!).
I found it a tough challenge, as the Ad said nothing to me, until I remembered Liz's Take Me Away Kit, which went well with the old maps on the ad! And seeing Liz's kit that did inspire me!

this is Robert and me on a ride at Thomas Land, a great pic to make look old! Journalling reads:
There is no cure like travel, to help you unravel, the worries of living today. When the poor brain is cracking, there's nothing like packing, a suitcase and sailing away!

Sure I've missed you! But only this morning... Last night I was in bed at 8.30 pm, with bad toothache. (poor me) ;).
But gees, I can tell you, it's not good, when a computer won't start... Hope you can fix it!
(Do you know the most important thing of any pc?
Smoke.
Yep.
Because, you know, if THAT comes out of the pc, it's finished... LOL)
I had to take a look at the bonus wordart, and I'm looking forward to which one of these you're so eager for!
LOVE the b/w photo of Thomas land, VERY cute. If you hadn't told, I sure would have overlooked the rail, and took it for a real old fashion photo! :)

Good luck on finishing that wedding book! Hope you make it on time!
