WOYWW #389


Welcome,  I am very late joining our group deskers today.  Julia at the STAMPING GROUND lets us visit deskers from all over the world each Wednesday and if you have time and want ideas just hop on over and read the details.

My desk show the results of a thrift store find...the 2 big fish bowls, anxious to store my laces, a few scraps from my ATC's (which I'll share next week) an assortment of glues (dealing with wood and fabric applications) embossing folders for ideas pending in my head.

Speaking of my head, it is spinning. I spent the day yesterday driving 60 miles to the computer shop to have them take off of Group policy error, created when they updated my IP address for their update? My logging on was 40 min  to an hour.  They got that fixed but today I am dealing with frustrations of things being in different places,  Security changes that prevent me from using sites I downloads photos from and the list goes on and on.  I consider myself pretty good at finding electronic problems but lately it is such a frustration.  And most of it has come from me declining Windows 10 and reverting back to my best friend Windows 8.1.
I did have fun visiting some really unique shops in Pocahontas.  Then I had the drive home, stops at the Casino for a quick sandwich and a little game time, stopping to pick up my Mother, a beautiful day to get her out and we came back to our little town and spent time showing her, her old town, and bringing her to our farm for sometime with us.  Took her back in time for her supper hour and we stopped by the Appreciation Night for our Law Enforcement, EMTs and Firemen. Was a busy tiring day.

Have a Happy WOYWW kinda day.  And thanks to all who visited and left comments last week.

Hi Sylvia, I can only recommend Windows 10! It's been fantastic since day 1, and so stable too! Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #5 xx

My goodness, Sylvia - no wonder your head is spinning after all that dashing about yesterday! I, too, have declined windows 10. We have windows 7 and it works a treat for what I need to do, so on the principle that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" I decided to stick with it.
Those glass bowls are beautiful - well found!
Take care. God bless.

Sounds like a computer nightmare! I still haven't recovered things I lost when updated to Windows 10. At least you got to spend time with your mother.

Happy WOYWW

I didn't play along this week but I wanted to stop in and take a little peep! Loving those fish bowls! I never seem to find anything at the thrift store!

Computers can be such a pain sometimes. I always update, even though it's usually just after I got used to the previous update. I have Windows 10, and it took awhile to get used to it, so now I suppose they will bring out Windows 11 and screw everything up! Hope your computer woes are solved quickly - they don't like it when you don't assimilate! Thanks for sharing, Lindart #38

Sorry to hear about your tech problems. Funny how computers were supposed to make our lives "easier", huh? ❤️ Have a great week! ~Heather~ #47

I have Windows 10, but I admit it took some time to get used to it. You certainly had an action-packed day. No wonder you were tired! Glad you found some treasure while you were out an about, though.

Your desk is so organized. Wherever do you find all the little wooden cubbies? I still have Windows 7...can't seem to let go!
It will all work out..
Have a great week
