Very extremely thankful for Blogger!!!

No tatting to show, but I really have been tatting while also trying to catch up on everything left undone while playing with granddaughters for a week.
The reason I am so thankful for blogger is....my computer DIED, seriously!  They can't even get any of my pictures or anything from either of the 2 hard drives(although, they did just tell me that for $270 they can get my pictures if I really want them-like I have more money to spend after getting a whole new computer on a last minute notice>>>NOT!)
Well, I was just sitting here thinking about the loss of so many photos and scans and then realized that Blogger has all my tatting pictures!!!  I am so happy!!!!  At least I still have something!
Well, this new computer is up and running and I am having to learn everything about this modern technology, but I have completed  2 pairs of earrings, and am almost done with 2 suncatchers, and I have worked more on the beaded garland, so hopefully I will have time to share some pictures soon(as soon as I figure out where to plug in my camera and how to use it with this computer).  
Have a truly blessed day and enjoy tatting!!!  :)

Oh no, sorry to hear about your computer problems. Yes, it is good to know that not all your photos are lost forever! My computer has been misbehaving, so that thought had crossed my mind too. Good luck with the new one.

Sorry to hear about your lost photos and yes, good to have a blog to capture some images!!!

Enjoy your new tech toy - and make sure to have 'back ups' in case it happens in the future!

Oh no dead computers are the worst. I remember how upset I was when my last laptop died, with all our vacation photos and videos on it! Not to mention all the tatting files. I've also had to go back on blogger and backtrack to see what I could salvage. Thankfully, I posted links to most of those missing patterns. I definitely learned my lesson, external backup. LOL

Thank you all for your kind comments and thoughts!!! We did purchase an external hard drive to back everything up(and I think he said it's automatic back up so that will help. Now, I just need to learn how to use it. All this new technology is driving me crazy already!!! :)

It can be terribly frustrating when one's computer crashes ! Been there, hate that ! Glad you've begun your new journey with blogger to help retrieve.....
Last year, when my hard drive crashed, I switched to Dropbox to backup and save all my files/photos, even tho' I did have a pen drive , but that was used occasionally.
With this cloud computing, one can stay connected through multiple devices and keep backing up automatically even as one works.

Waiting to see your latest tatting :-)
