I had planned to back up my files, but of course I kept putting it off. To make a long story short, procrastination is a BAD thing! Yesterday, after yet another protracted Windows update, my laptop became a very expensive door stop. The update somehow deleted a system file that is essential for the proper functioning of the thing. While I&#8217;ve been able to get into my files, my laptop is essentially done for without a factory reset. I bought a new one this morning and am diligently retrieving all my important stuff from the brick so that I can install it all on the new one. But considering it took 18 hours to copy just my current digi-scrapping folder it&#8217;s going to take some time.<\/p>\n<p>This unpleasant event will have another effect, which is to force me to move completely over to Photoshop Elements 2019 &#8211; no sense installing both version 15 and 2019 on the new laptop. What was holding me back was having to reload all my brushes, styles and actions&#8230; Now I have to do that anyway. Moving along. Slowly!<\/p>\n<p>My words of wisdom for today: If you haven&#8217;t backed up your files in awhile, either to an external hard drive or to the Cloud, plan to do it SOON. Like today! Don&#8217;t be like me, forced into action and losing precious productive time. When I&#8217;m back up and running on all cylinders, I&#8217;ll bring you something flashy and fun, I promise.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-32170\" src=\"https:\/\/gingerscraps.net\/gsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/GS_footer_blog_Jan_2019-1-500x25.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"25\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gingerscraps.net\/gsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/GS_footer_blog_Jan_2019-1-500x25.jpg 500w, https:\/\/gingerscraps.net\/gsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/GS_footer_blog_Jan_2019-1.jpg 575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, It was Bound to Happen&#8230; For awhile my laptop has been acting up a bit, all things I could ignore.
