NEW CHALLENGE AT DELIGHTFUL CHALLENGES - MAKE A WISH!!

Hello everyone!  I'm hoping that today marks the return to more consistent blogging for me.  As most of you may know, our main computer died a very slow and agonizing death which began about 3 or so weeks ago.  It was in and out of the shop and they could never fix it, although they also claimed they failed to replicate the issue, which was it shutting itself down after only 10 mins. each time it was turned on.  So, I wound up having to spring for a new computer, which has Windows 8 as Windows 7 is no longer available on new computers and it has been a great learning curve as well as somewhat of a nightmare trying to get used to it.  The main huge difference is that the program I used to use for blogging - Windows Live Writer - is basically nonexistent now and it has taken time for me to come to terms with that (pathetic I know, but I'm not a huge fan of change!)  Also, the setting up, restoring and reloading files to the new computer is still an ongoing process, although I am getting there!  One final note is that I amassed over 400 e-mails throughout the time I was without consistent computer time, and while I have had this number down under 60 at times this week, I am STILL not completely through them, so if you did e-mail me and have not heard back, please be patient with me, I should have everything answered by the weekend.

For my creation today, I have chosen DIGITAL DELIGHTS SHOP image Delightful Snow, which I have merged the 2 images in the set with GIMP and then colored with Copics and Sakura glitter pen. I cut out using Nellie's die and it is daubed with distress ink. Papers are Bazzill CS and DP from my stash. Ribbon is also from my stash. Sentiment is from DIGITAL DELIGHTS SHOP Birthday Sentiment Set, is cut with Nestie and daubed with distress ink. Sure hope you like it and will come play along with us!!
