This story is somewhat embarrassing – especially because I thought I was doing so well, lol. As many of you know, I took up digital scrapbooking a few months ago. Well I have been creating all kinds of layouts, and showing off my new found ‘tricks’ as proud as can be. What’s so embarrassing you ask? Well…. my computer monitor was old, old, old and getting darker and darker, and because I use it non-stop, I had no idea how bad it was getting…. till I got my pretty new flatscreen with amazing vivid color. Of course the first thing I did was look at my layouts and to my shock and horror the colors are different…. don’t coordinate…. faded photos…. the list goes on.
This whole time I’ve been creating and editing and trying to compensate for my too dark monitor, not even realizing my layouts were turning out like crap!! So now I have to go back and re-adjust all my layouts and repost them. I’ve probably screwed up my art photos too – I’m afraid to look at those.
I’m so glad I can see now – no more headaches online – and finally I can see colors.

I’m going a little nuts at the studio – my computer got a nasty virus and pooped out. I have a back-up computer, that my Mom just brought down from Canada, but I’m getting some kind of blue stop screen, so I can’t use it either. I think I’m sending out some kind of freaky magnetic wave – it’s cursing me.
It’s a little scary to think of how dependent I am on my computer. Hello my name is Tracy and I’m computer dependent – without a doubt.
Today I brought in my very favorite computer, the one from home, it never fails me…. knock on wood. Now the question is, how do I get my info off my old computer on to this one, as it never stays on/running long enough. I’m going to have a heart attack from the stress – I just can’t deal with PC problems – not a bit.
