Woo Hoo! I have just received my very first 2007 handstamped Christmas card – and it was made by my daughter-in-law, Jennifer! Beautiful card, Jenn! Thank you!
Sure wish I could post it right here, right now – but alas, I’m still tangled-up with this computer/printer/everything-else-USB problem, and uploading and processing photos these days is an unbelievable drag. Here’s an example of how I spent my evening last night:
Goal: to get my most recent photos out of my camera and into my computer so I can begin working on my next "Stamp Class in your Mailbox".
Process:
- Turn on my antique laptop and let it boot up – approx 20 minutes until it’s ready to go.
- Upload the 30 photos from my camera to the laptop – approx 55 minutes, including the program hang time, followed by overheat/automatic shutdown/reboot and start-over process.
- Upload the 30 photos to online storage – approx. an hour and 30 minutes, including resetting the modem/router after losing internet service during the windstorm.
- Download the 30 photos to my main compouter – less than 10 minutes!
So, nearly 3 hours later, I was finally ready to begin processing the photos so I could begin working on my next Stamp Class in Your Mailbox. But of course, then I was too tired to actually *do* it, so that’s on today’s agenda.
But I still intend to post the Stampin’ Up! Christmas cards you send me (so please DO)….. but I think it’ll probably be faster to drive up to Freeland, scan ’em on my folks’ computer, and then email the scanned picture back to myself, lol. Can’t WAIT until I have time to work on getting this main computer fully-functional again!
