Blog Candy #3, & a short story


Thanks for checking my blog through, my vacation:
I had this post already to post last night at Mid-night. I went to a movie with my DD's and got home at about 12:15. My computer would not turn on. The DVD and CD lights would flash but the monitor just said no signal. I thought I had lost my hard drive.
I tried various things for about a half hour and decided to go to bed, and deal with it in the morning. We had a terrible electrical storm last night, but it was north of us, so instead of shutting my computer down I just set it to stand by. my Dh said he'ld check it before work in the morning. Well he was half a sleep when he said that so I got up at 6:30 and he was gone, and my Computer still didn't work. He said the usual thing. Unplug everything from the back and wait a half hour then re-try. Well I only unplugged the power supply cord and I waited the about 5 min, which is a long time when we're talking about my computer, and WhaLaa, My computer was back. You would not believe what I was worried about. Pictures form the summer I had'nt backed up yet, My blog candy, emails, if I remembered all the passwords I log into automatically,etc the list goes on and on. So anyway here is a picture of the blog candy.

I have bought a few special items ( A card by me, about 34 assorted brads, I didnt count them, some heather Mini Primas, 2 large paper clips, a spool of offray pink & black Gingham, and the Birthday set of 16 acrylic stamps form Marcella K) and last but not least a 10$ gift certificate to use at EllenHustonsLLC Webstore. For the lucky winner.
I know I would use it toward a pre-order for the nestability spellbinder dies, but their are so many cute stamps and items to choose from.

I am sorry but because of weight and shipping cost, this blog candy will only be available to residents of Canada and the US.

The only difference is that it is no longer a Mystery, and Allison will know about it. (Wink)
SO until after my vacation, unless I get time to play with my new stamps later( another story)...Happy Stamping!

  6. Lovely candy and I'm glad you didn't lose your computer altogether. I did recently and it had to be wiped clean....yikes. I am slowly getting everything back. The hardest part was losing all the websites and blogs I had saved to favorites!

  34. Wow, I am really a dork because I still don't get the idea of blog candy! LOL.

    So happy your computer didn't die on you! That's happened to me too many times and each time I had to wipe it clean and start from scratch. Not fun!

    Have a wonderful weekend, Kathy!
