Just wanted to send a quick note explaining our absence. The computer hard drive glitched last week and we are in the process of reformatting – minus a LOT of data files and bookmarks. Sigh. We have my mother in law and niece here for Thanksgiving as well. We hope to be back up and running in a few days.
Meantime, check out Louise’s adaptations to the template downloads for her children’s notebooks! She added a thematic watermark to the background before printing the template. Very nice!
And dear friends, PLEASE begin to send me your favorite bookmarked sites! Losing all my favorites is the worst part of a cpu crash for me.

When you begin bookmarking your favorite sites, use http://del.icio.us/ instead of your computer (or do both). I’m about to switch all of mine over. It saves them on an external site and you can access them on any computer, anywhere. Then if the computer crashes, you don’t lose any of that valuable info. My husband just told me about it and I’ve been putting the change off. But now that I read your post, I probably should listen to him. 🙂
Oh sweetie! I’m so sorry!!!!
A few favorites of mine are:

Praying you get everything back up to speed soon. love, Dani
Sorry to hear about your computer. I am glad to hear that you are up and running again. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Kim!
