Computer frustration .......

I have so much to share with you all, but my computer has been playing up for weeks. Sooo frustrating. I cant even upload any new photos.
It was supposedly fixed, but can hardly even load a photo for my blog (even an old one).... thus just one meagre offering this week! I made this bird ATC for a friend well over a year ago, but when I flicking through my photo folder I came across it and thought it might be nice...I still like it. Naive, whimsical and simple.
When we have this computer fixed I have plenty of photos to upload, but at the moment, it just wont "play".

I've had visitors (my arty mother in law), I've received some wonderful art mail, I did a workshop in sketching and gouache. I've been out and about .... so plenty of news later.

I've been logging on and checking a few blogs when I can, and leaving comments where it allows me. At least I can still access your wonderful blogs this week.

I hope you are all having a wonderful, creative week. As the ATC says..."Create Joy"

Such wonderful "Jacky" Style!!! I love your little bird!! I am so sorry that you are having computer problems- that is so frustrating!!!!!! We don't really realize how much we enjoy using the darn machine and how very much we count on it, till it starts failing for us!!! Have you checked into the possibilities of virus infections disabling you?/ I am sure that has been checked- just a thought!! You have been by my blog and thank you so much for your kind words!!

Keeping my fingers crossed for some computer health ofor you!!
big Hugs!
