...OMG!!! I can't believe what I just went through since my last post here!!!
INTERNET CONNECTION...CAPUT ON LAPTOP...However it is now working one of my other
'older' desktop systems. I just spent yesterday and today so far trying to get some kind
of internet connection back onto my laptop...no go!!!
That means a couple days of delay for my creation process!!!...because the system I am
on right now is so slow compared to my newer laptop...YIKES...I think it is because I used
to do a LOT and TONS of graphics on this desktop!...so that means I have to spend a day
or so cleaning up old files on here...stuff I don't really want to delete...I will have to look
through all my files on here and see what I can put over on my portable hard drive...
thank goodness I have that drive. The main problem is that there is over 4 MILLION files on here
and I have needed to go through them for a long time...YIKES... I think I need to set up my
late hubby's desktop computer that is faster...but has all of his GIANT engineering software still on it
Plus I have about 2 million files of my own on his computer as well!
So anyway I look at it, it is going to take a couple of days to get this all sorted!!!
I need a fairly fast computer to work on these bear graphics, etc.
So what I am saying, everyone, is that please 'bear' with me while I fix it all!
I WILL be okay...as my late father used to say (all the time): "Where there is a will, there is a way!"
Right now I have cables and wires all bungled up between 3 computer systems...so I need
to get them all straightened out and I will need to REVAMP my present computing AREA
and put whatever desktop I decide to use in that area so I can get back to my bears!
So a lot of patience IS needed (and any prayers and positive thoughts would help too!)
I will also need to install my new graphic software onto the desktop computer I am going to be using.
If this all had to happen (laptop/net connection failure) then it was best to happen now and
not when I would be almost finished with the cards close to xmas...better now! Blessing in disguise? LOL
Now I probably need to get a new laptop...$$$ (this one is 3 yrs old and I used it almost 24/7 every day! )
...but right now it is time for saving for property taxes, house insurance, car licensing, car insurance,
propane payments, and the list goes on. Towards the end of the year is not the time to buy
a new laptop (for me anyway)... so...I will make with do what I have. It will be fine. Actually
I am enjoying the SOLID feeling of the desktop keyboard......much better than a laptop keyboard!
I am sure there is a GOOD LESSON for me in all of this...I was flying high with those bears
and they were going really fast and good...I thought... maybe ego got in there somewhere? eeekkk
AND now I am at the total mercy of the Spirits in my life...they shall do ALL the work through
me and it will no longer be me that is doing it!!! (except my humanness will still probably get into the way again!)
I've always said that the ONLY problems I really have are the 'mechanics' of this world...mechanical and electronic things! YIKES!!!
Good thing I am a computer geek!
I want to tell you one more thing.
It really IS a very DIFFERENT world WITHOUT your computer being connected to the net!!!
It feels like you are basically cut off from the rest of the world! You are not, but when your
net connection stops...it just seems that way at first Then you calm down and look
around you and you are still the same person with the same house, etc.
Know what I mean?
Me and my bears will be back in no time
I have 13 1/2 cards completed so far...so I can't wait to get back to the creation process!
@GryffinSong:
it is just that it was so late and I was so engrossed...and not thinking properly, plus I was
so into my wands knight...he was adorable. Messed up...big time.
Anyway all is not lost I have recreated the bear again, but not quite finished.
RE: Knight of Coins
You know, I think you are right that the size proportions between the bear and the horse
are not quite right...Bear needs to be a little smaller and I also think the horse's head needs
to be a little bigger...I can fix that easily...
Thank you so much for your honesty...I really do need to hear what everyone sees because
sometimes I work on something so long that I really don't see it right.
I also think I was pushing myself so hard on getting this deck done, that the Spirits decided
that I need to be stopped in my tracks, for a day or two, to get a better perspective...
...thus the internet connection problems...and I NEED that connection to retrieve various images
that I have to splice/dice and manipulate and add to my cards...
So, I will be in touch with you all as soon as I have resolved which computer, etc. I will use.
Love and miss you all!
BIG BEAR HUGS FOR EVERYONE!

@GryffinSong:
GryffinSong, you are so RIGHT...about saving your work often...and I usually do...Just remember ... save early, save often. I've lost too many stories, art, reports, etc., to go through an entire process without saving it to disk multiple times.
I continue to love your cards. Just one little thing, which may or may not bug you. I find the knight a little large for his horse. My immediate thought was, omg, please don't squish your horse, handsome knight!
it is just that it was so late and I was so engrossed...and not thinking properly, plus I was
so into my wands knight...he was adorable. Messed up...big time.
