What a day! Allow me to rant for a moment...I woke up this morning and the cold I've been battling had somehow gotten worse overnight, leaving me unable to breath out of my nose and completely exhausted. When I finally made it out of bed and started on the preview for tomorrow's collection, my computer froze, shut down and was pronounced DOA when I got to the Apple store. I can't even begin to think about everything I lost, I kind of felt like Carrie Bradshaw in that episode when her computer dies. I used to be good at backing everything up, but I've gotten lazy lately. I have definitely learned my lesson! I was planning to buy a new laptop for my business anyway, so today pushed me to finally do it. I went with a mac book like I had before, but this new puppy is so much faster. I spent the rest of the day hyped up on DayQuil, re-taking photos and putting together everything for tomorrow's update. I am going to be adding all the old pieces plus a few new ones that you can check out here. Now I am going to go indulge in the carrot cupcakes I made last night to celebrate our 7 year anniversary of being together and get some much needed sleep. Hoping tomorrow goes a little smoother.

  7. Oh no! My hard drive crashed a few years ago and as a graphic designer it's pretty much your biggest nightmare. I hope you enjoy your new laptop and feel better!

  9. Oh, no! I'm so sorry to hear about your computer. I was just thinking about how today I really need to back up my files. It's been way too long.

    Your new collection is so gorgeous.

    I hope you feel better soon and happy anniversary!

  11. That stinks about your computer! I accidentally deleted a ton of photos and was never able to get them back. I'd consider getting an external hard drive and backing everything up there - at least, that's what I keep telling myself to do. Plus, they're much cheaper than they used to be. Hope you feel better soon!

  12. How sucky about your computer! You are making me feel that I really need to back everything on mine up on my external drive, and soon.
    I hope you're feeling better by now (especially if the carrot cupcakes had anything to say about it) and tip my hat to you for working so hard through the DayQuil haze!
