First, the bad news...somehow between the time I took my camera card out of my camera and inserted it into my computer (this had to be all of what, 5 seconds?!?) the card decided to become corrupted. Yes, you guessed it, ladies and gentlemen...the photos are GONE. I am so glad I saved all of my photos onto my hard drive the end of last week -- because I wanted a clean card when I started my photography class over at Big Picture Scrapbooking on March 1st -- however, that means that the 150+ photos I took on Sunday while the kids played out in the snow are GONE forever. I am so bummed. I'm glad I have the few small images I uploaded to my blog...but terribly bummed about the others.
Now, the good news...Making Memories accidentally sent me two Grommet Tools. I e-mailed them to see if I should send one back and their response was this: "Don't worry about sending it back. Why don't you give it away on your blog?" So, that's what I'm doing. If you're interested in receiving a brand new grommet tool, just leave me a message! I'll draw a name Friday morning, so check back!
Hi Wendy!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your pictures. If that happened to me I will really really freak out!
And for the MM Grommet Tools. Wow! that is so beautiful... I want those... I hope I will be picked. LOL!
Have a great day to you!
Aaah, you've got to be kidding me! I was just looking at the grommets and tool on the addicted to scrapbooking website last night! I'll keep my fingers crossed for myself.

Heck yes, I'm interested! Sorry about your photos. Sometimes I think we'd all be better off with film and developing, ya know? Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWendy,
ReplyDeleteYou've probably taken lots of pictures since Zach's b-day. Did you lose any "important moment" photos? I'm glad that you keep a blog to have a few back up pictures. I love his first steps pics. Hope the next few days are full of better news! Please add my name to your drawing. Kristy L.
How could I resist being put in your drawing? Very fun! Thanks:)
ReplyDeleteSorry about your photo card. Lost pictures are never a good thing.
Hi Wendy , sorry about your pics I know how that feels you just cant retake those pics, about the MM Grommet I hope you pick my name thanks.
ReplyDeleteCount me in for your drawing Wendy!! There are some ways to save a corrupted card. Just do a Google search. I've read that some can indeed be saved. Don't know that much about it, but it's worth a shot. Technology can be a pain sometimes!!

That stinks that you lost your pictures - it is a good reminder to me that I need to get my digital pics on a cd for backup!
ReplyDeleteLove the grommets - that was cool that MM let you keep them.
