Tuesday - he spent downloading stuff from his old PC but mine would not have it. Endless time spent talking to someone at Apple and still it kept falling over. Back to my old one which has not been a good buy despite it being an expensive one. Seems to read (judging by comments) that it is the Apple Mac that is the problem - it isn't - it is the Sony Vio. Driving us mad. Chas now copying all my documents, loading them on his old laptop and then transferring them to my Apple Mac. He could not believe how slow my (laptop) machine was - I've been telling him for ages.
As for me, I have been busy getting a tutorial ready and that went wrong so here you can see how it got left on my desk last night. I just gave up and went to bed.

If you look on my red mat to the right you can see the adorable bicycle die I bought with my earnings and the small MS score board in the centre. Love these purchases and I also love this die storage box for my Memory Box and Cheery Lynn dies which I got a short while back. I think I now need some more of the magnetic sheets - Tracey said it holds 20 of them (or was it 24?).
All my Memory Box and Cheery Lynn dies, Score Board and Art Bin are from Oyster Stamps where I do most of my buying these days.
Anyway, I guess I had better sign off as 'beddy byes' is calling, I am so tired. You should head over to WOYWW now where Miss Julia has links to endless desks where all the lovely folks show you lots of goodies, share tips and showcase their creations.
I'll try to put something on another week - oh, there is the card at the back right hand side that I am doing a tute for - got to get it done by tonight as I promised some of the customers I'd have one up.
Don't forget there is some Followers Blog Candy coming up shortly - need another 20 followers and then BINGO!!

Love Chrissie xx
hope you sort the tutorial, have a great week trace x 48
A wet bank holiday here too with a son-in-law in hospital. Thankfully now he is better but it's still raining! Typical British weather eh?

Lets hope when you've had a good nights sleep you can get back to the project you were working on that went wrong. thinkgs always look better in the morning. Jill #51
Sounds like one of THOSE days Neet. Hope today finds you feeling more perky and everything just falls into place nicely. Hugs, Buttons #66
Oooh I wonder what your tutorial will be, looking at the clues on your desk :) Glad you enjoyed Leigh and that it was busy. Hope you get the macbook working soon, I love mine, so easy to use. Looking forward to seeing the resulting tute :) Pxx
Hi, It's me again...we get a lot of our rovings from one of our blogging friends Sara's shop...

She dyes them to really fab colours and it's well worth checking her shop out.

great looking desk! I love all those dies and I need to find a die box that will hold all the spellbinders, stampin up, cheery lynn, memory box and MFt dies. They are everywhere. Have a great week. Thanks for sharing! Vickie #67
Well for me that's the answer - if it's giving you trouble, waste no more time on it...face it from another angle on a different day - am sure it will come good. Glad you had a busy time at Leigh...nothing worse than trying to look busy when it's quiet and disappointing.
Glad to hear you've been out and about and that your stand was extra busy too...though I think I'd have stayed in on the Monday!! That bicycle stamp is very cute indeed, I can see why you love it!
Hugs, LLJ #72 xx
Looks as if your going to busy with your Tutorial. At least there is space on your desk to work. Hugs Rita xx
Good on you for still having time to craft after a weekend like that - so busy. Let me know how you go on with the MacBook as I thought about one - you can be my test pilot.

Let's hope coming back with fresh eyes this morning helps :o) Oh I love the look of the dies I can see in that storage box, will have to check it out. I had become a total die addict, but have to reserve my pennies for building up my SU stash now. Glad you like the butterfly. It's so simple to do and really effective I think.

Sorry to hear things aren't going smoothly with the MacBook. I recently made the switch, and apart from some teething troubles, I couldn't be happier now that I came over to the Apple side... hope it settles down soon. The die storage looks great, and good luck with the tutorial!

Hi Neet, hopefully by the time you read this you will have had a good night's sleep and feel refreshed. Bad news about the Mac thingy, hopefully it can be sorted. Love the bicycle die and all those lovely ones in the box too. Hope you are well after that hectic weekend. Crafty hugs, Anne x #32
Sounds like you have been super busy! And a tutorial in the making too...go girl!

ooh you have been busy! Computers, they can be such a blooming pain! Loving all the things on your desk. Try and get some time to take it easy. Take care. xx
Technology drives you mad when it won't do what you want it to - yet we can't live without it any more! Yes they are whinberries - that's what I called them til I moved to Yorkshire and they didn't know what I meant. I made a fab crumble with them for tea - delicious flavour. x Jo
Hope things work out with your computer! We just got a new one as well and its great but stressful at the same time!
Mary Jo #112
Blooming computers, they are a nightmare when they don't work aren't they. I hope you get sorted soon.
I think I have die envy looking at all your gorgeous ones, love the storage system.
Happy WOYWW

I hate it when technology goes awry. The saying has changed. These days it is 'the geek shall inherit the earth.' They are the only ones who'll be able to program it. I like your die storage, nice and neat and easy to access.
hi neet, looks like you`ll be busy, love what I think you are doing a tut for, I`ve up to four they do get easyer the more you make, pam
I hope your MAC issue gets straightened out. I love my little Toshiba netbook - it's perfect for what I want.
Your storage looks good. I just have a few dies and embossing folders. Right now they aren't organized but I need to do that soon!
Thanks for visiting me already!!! I'm slow in getting around this week.
Happy WOYWW

Computers are amazing when they work, but when they give you trouble, they are so frustrating. My dad (he was one of the very first breed of computer programmers in the world) used to say all computers are called Fred, (Flippin ridiculous electronic device!)
Thank you for your kind words about my grandie's birthday invitations. Apparently they are a great hit with the kids, I found the tutorial on how to make them on Splitcoaststampers.
Happy WOYWW!

Good luck with your tutorial. Sometimes it helps to just walk away when things are working, and take a nap! Or go to bed.... I'm your newest follower, so I'll be looking for your upcoming tutorial. :-) I hope you'll follow my blog at http://goinovertheedge.blogspot.com.

oooh love the bicycle die! and your other dies look nice and organised there! Sounds like you have been busy. Thanks for stopping by my desk, the colourful stripey thing to the left of my desk is a 12" pencil case, but it is wide open and has been squashed by stash so looks a bit odd :o) I haven't used kraft on my card, it's just the front at the monent and will be mounted onto a white card blank once I've got around to cutting one to size! x April
You have been a busy girl and sorry to hear about your applemac problems. All your dies look wonderfully well organised in their die box. Thanks for your lovely comments on my rubbish composition.
Sandra @20
I love those bicycle dies but not sure how much I would use one but Ive seen some lovely cards made with them.
Ive just ordered some more magnetic sheets, brilliant for storing dies.

Hi Neet - you are so organised and neat and tidy! What a wonderful stash of dies you have as well - oh to be locked in your craft room!
Cannot wait to see your latest tutorial - and of course you can use the tissue box no probs anything at all you see...use it! Cxxxx
I love my mac and never have i had a problem, not that that helps you, poor thing, I find it very maddening when everything seems to turn a shade of cow dung
hope to see you Saturday and that things will have taken a better turn...
dxxxx
Hope you PC is sorted now Neet, it is so annoying when things don't go as you hoped isn't it.
Did you say you have the bike die ? does it work ok please. Hope you were not too knacked after Leigh
