Setbacks

Large surf at Tennessee Valley Beach on January 5th, 2012.

I’m a week behind on working on my January Etsy goals.  Sometimes the unforeseen gets in the way.  Last Monday I decided to start the New Year with an updated computer, and downloaded Mac OS Lion 10.7.2.  Little did I know that my most important software (at least 10 years old) would be inaccessible!  I was so upset!  I managed to get most of my programs updated this week and my computer is almost back to normal. 

The only major disappointment is that I am locked out of my website.  I designed it with Adobe Go Live, which was discontinued in 2008.  If I want to update my website I’d have to undo Lion and everything else, and I don't want to do that.  It was time for a change anyway.  As soon as I get the Etsy stuff up and running I’ll create a web based portfoilo. 

The good news is that I’m ready to move forward with designing a postcard, business card, and Etsy banner with my new Photoshop Elements.  I’m so excited!  It will be easier with this new software.  So things are moving forward.
