A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I share my passion for making hand made greeting cards. So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it! Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce. I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

I'M NOT A HAPPY BUNNY !!

Hi Everyone

What a day!!

Things are just not going my way .. ..

Some of you may recall that I was having problems with my laptop a while back .. .. well hubby managed to get me up and running OK again but because I was worried about losing all my downloads and work we decided to invest in an external hard drive and transfer everything over to that as a backup. But my laptop just wouldn't do a backup and transfer things.

Well this morning hubby was up bright and early (must have been excited about the football LOL!!) and he set to transferring everything over for me a folder at a time. But my laptop just didn't want to play. So we shut it down whilst we went out and about and when we came back .. .. well it was taking a lifetime for it to do anything and was giving us some very strange messages.

Hubby is now back on repair duties and he thinks my hard drive is dying !! Boo hoo!!

My laptop isn't that old .. .. but out of warranty.

Just hoping we can rescue what I need off it before it goes to the laptop graveyard.

So to cheer myself up I disappeared upstairs to make a little creation when what happens there .. .. .. my paper storage units decided to buckle and spill everything everywhere. Double boo hoo!! (Anyone would think I was storing too much in and on my cardboard units). So now I have craft things everywhere and I had to keep grabbing and catching things as they fell. What a mess!

Anyway I finished my make amongst the mayhem and have used the old PC to post it here.
This used:

Image: Messy Rabbit "MR132" Butterfly
Backing Papers: Dovecraft
ProMarkers
Woodware Circle Punch


We will see how things go .. .. laptop still on the operating table at the moment!! What would I do without my lovely hubby to keep rescuing me?!?!?

Catch you again soon.

Love Jules xx

Hi Jules
What would we do without them, the other half that is. I had problems last week with mine, your card is so cute love the colours and the little image, at least you had another computer to fall back on.

It would be no good me waiting for my knight Jules. His armour is decidedly rusty, Lol, and it would be like the blind leading the blind if he tried to repair our computer. He knows no more than I do.

Sorry your craft pod ended up in a mess too but you still made a beautiful card none the less. This is really lovely.

Er, sorry to rub it in but I decided to have a run over to the Stamp Magic show at Doncaster. I really enjoyed it but boy was it hot!

Hugs

What a day you've had Jules. Computers Ehh, they're a real pain when they go wrong. We couldn't do without these men than can could we!! Mine's my computer fix it man too. Hope you manage to get your stuff of it ok.
Your card seems to sum you up today. Time for some new craft storage too I think. A good excuse to go shopping.
Hope tomorrow is better.
Hugs Lisax

It's a stunning card, Jules. I have every sympathy with you over your laptop. My work laptop is in a similar state at the moment. I switch it on and after about five minutes it blue screens and reboots and continues to do so. I'm hoping it can be rescued when the technician comes in on Tuesday. I hope your hubby rescues yours.

MagsB said...

Oh, hun, what an annoying time you're having! *sends sympathy*. Your card is smashing, I love the image, just so cute!

I hope things get better - wish I had a useful hubby like yours, mine still doesn't even know how to turn on the tv digibox!! Luckily my daughter is a bit more au fait with computers!
