      Oh, so frustrating! Glad you got it all back.

      I did buy some nice things, easy pages/ jiffy too! Have fun with what you got!

  2. Thank you for the reminder email. I thought the sale finished on Monday! At least the time difference works in my favour

  3. Feeling happy - on a whim plugged my broken EHD into my new Window 8.1 laptop and it works. I've been able to get off all my ScrapGirls files I wasn't able to recover last year :)

      Wow that is awesome Kate!!!

  4. Sorry for taking over the recent images, I wanted to upload all my project life layouts when I remembered. Just 5 months behind now :)

      Fun to see them!

  5. Sitting at my computer to do a layout and I don't remember how to do it. It must have been too long

      I've been there, too! It will come back to you, I'm sure.

  6. The children are quiet so I'm sitting down to prepare my template for P52 this year. I learnt a lot last year so think I will be better prepared this time

    1. jode2771

      jode2771

      Yes that is the secret! An easy and quick template makes it fun not a chore, go Kate!

    2. Becster

      Becster

      Templates have really save me on P52! I'm trying to keep it even simpler this year, we'll see how it works out.

    3. Nica

      Nica

      lol...kids are quiet?!?!?! That's a BAD thing in my house! ;-) I'm still finishing up my 2013 layouts, but I agree, it's all in the prep. Good luck!

  7. It has taken 2 months but I think I have finally worked out what files I recovered and lost from my EHD failure. I've recovered most of the zip files for my purchases and they take up 60Gb, I had no idea I'd bought so much

    1. CRS

      CRS

      It adds up fast, doesn't it? But it's all so beautiful! Good luck with the rest of your recovery!

    2. DixieLee

      DixieLee

      good for you!! Glad to hear that you stuck with it and recovered the files. I bought so much from SG over the last 6 years! good grief, but what a treasure!

    3. GinnyW

      GinnyW

      :) it does add up fast. Glad you were able to recover it!
  8. Dilemma. I joined the clubs in December, do I take advantage of the sale and me signed up for 23 months?

      Might as well!

      Kate Davis

      I went to bed and forgot about it :( I always renew in December because I get vouchers for my birthday so what I should have done is buy one month of both so I renew in January ready for next year

  9. I've been thinking about buying a flippal scanner for the last year and was hoping to find some good deals in the sales, but haven't yet. Does anyone know of any good UK offers?

      Flip Pal can only be bought through them, they don't sell via retailers or other online sites.

    3. Kate Davis

      Kate Davis

      Becster that is interesting. It is very expensive to ship to UK through their site, but I've found a couple of British genealogy sites selling them.

    4. Becster

      Becster

      Good! Maybe they have changed their policy recently. I looove mine!

  10. Still recovering my files from my EHD failure. Today I've filled two DVDs with SG zip files. I've now backed up ~340 files just ~760 to go; to make sure I've got everything I'm checking them against my purchase history and unzipping them all again, it is taking some time

      Slow work but the peace of mind at the end will be worth it.

      Oh, my goodness - what a project.

    4. DixieLee

      DixieLee

      I understand since my new EHD failed and have to install another one-sure don't want to lose anything!

  11. Love having a birthday in December. I've just spent all my gift vouchers in the sale and got lots and lots of new items to play with.

    1. DixieLee

      DixieLee

      Isn't it fun to go shopping and buy new items to scrap with?! enjoyed looking at your blog!

    2. zebidee75

      zebidee75

      Excellent! Hope you didn't get blown or washed away over Christmas!

    3. Kate Davis

      Kate Davis

      We were fine over Christmas, although the power cuts got close at times. I've just downloaded all my files, now to unzip them.

  12. Can you use the GetYourWish code as many times as you want? I seem to be having some issues using all my birthday voucher codes in one go, so I'm thinking of making my purchases in several goes.

    1. teecee

      teecee

      You should be able to use the Get Your Wish coupon code as many times as you want to. If you are having any trouble, contact Angie.

    2. angleigh

      angleigh

      Yes, you can. Kate if you have more than 1 code email me and I can combine them all so you only have 2 code to worry about

       

    3. Kate Davis

      Kate Davis

      Thank you Angie, I've sent an email. Using 8 codes at one time may have been a little confusing.

  13. Oh drat. I've just seen the extra 5% off and it is 23.10, do I really need to decide between going to bed and spending my birthday vouchers?

      Spend those vouchers. You can go to bed after that.

    3. Kate Davis

      Kate Davis

      Nope it is not going to happen. It is almost 1am and I haven't finished reviewing my wishlist yet. Oh well at least I'm part way to making use of 40% off

    4. DixieLee

      DixieLee

      so much to wish for at this great price!

  14. Some good news, my work laptop recognises my faulty EHD, it is slow and temperamental, but I've managed to rescue 40Gb of scrapping items so far.

      Great news. I spoke to someone at Staples about my EHD that crashed on me last year. Says that he can recover files for me and from my hard drive that also crashed. For about $70 he can do both. I'm all for that.

    3. ValerieT

      ValerieT

      That is good news, hope you can rescue some more.

    4. DixieLee

      DixieLee

      Oh i hope you can get everything back and not lose what you have.

  15. Don't believe my luck. I've been slowing preparing my scrap files to backup and my EHD has died before I got them on to DVD. That is all the individual files and the original zip files. I'm not feeling very happy.

      Unfortunately this was my backup drive and it is bad timing that all the files are on there. I have some backups on DVD, but I don't think they are very recent. I have a system, but I haven't been very good at using it since I had Matthew.

    3. lorac

      lorac

      Oh No! My EHD crashed on me last year followed by my hard drive. Talk about a mess.

      Kate, that is terrible timing. I use Apple's Time Machine and am so glad it is automatic. I have lost files before and understand the disappointment.

  16. I had a couple of free hours this evening so was going to work on my Project52. Instead I've on Twitter and reading blogs. Silly social media

  17. It's been a while, but I found some time to do some scrapping this evening. I may only be on April, but I'm determined to finish my Project 52.

    1. Nica

      Nica

      Well, hello! Long time, no see. Glad you were able to pop in!

      Way to go! And you're ahead of me.

    3. Kate Davis

      Kate Davis

      that is reassuring April. I'm glad I keep a diary otherwise I may not remember why I took some of the pictures!

  18. Just passing so thought I'd say Hello. I'm not finding much time to scrap at the moment, but still wanting too.

      Hi Kate, good to hear from you, just drop by when you can, life is always soooo busy isn't it!

      I am fairly hopelessly behind on unzipping files. However, that doesn't stop me from shopping. ;-) LOL

  21. Thank you, for your help with my blog. It is now sorted and links now work. I got in touch with the framework creators and it turns out I had a dodgy plugin.

  22. How are you doing finding a Google Reader alternative? I'm enjoying Feedly, although I miss the stats.

  23. Any web experts out there? Why does my blog not like any of links to be followed? http://www.darktea.co.uk/blog

      Ah, okay. There's something in there somewhere that's blocking the linking. I'm sure someone here can help!

      Did you write the theme from scratch or did you base it on an existing theme? Sometimes the themes don't keep up with Wordpress updates. There's definitely some quirkiness going on. If you host it yourself, you could set up another testblog with another theme and see if you have anymore luck.

    4. Kate Davis

      Kate Davis

      It is a child theme using the thematic framework. I upgraded to the latest version of thematic and it messed it up so I downgraded again. I probably need a new theme, but have no interest in coding one again and not sure about to choose / purchase a new one.

  24. Thank you for the comment about the rice cake monster, it made me realise I hadn't actually included that picture! I've now sorted it.

  25. Trying to do some layouts before having a relaxing bath and I can't find the photographs; which computer or camera are they on?

    1. CRS

      I hate that, lol!

      So frustrating - I swear we have some photos of my son eating ice cream whilst on holiday, but can I find where DH has filed them?!!!!!!
