Today my sweet friend and upline Rhonda came over and we got a lot more of Fall Fest stuff done, it is funny we get going and think we are almost done, and then we are like oh wait we still have to cut this DSP and Big Shot this. My little hospital stay messed up my schedule that is for sure. We want to get it all done by Thursday so Friday, the day before the event, we won't be stressed.
I will start showing you Fall Fest stuff soon ok?
But today I wanted to show you the other card the girls will do tomorrow at Trilogy, I love going there and they are all so fun, and sweet.
I looked around on the internet and found this beautiful card, I love embossed whisper white cardstock, it looks so elegant and this card aims to please. I cased Carrie Rhoades, and just changed the greeting and added the mustard flower instead of the button on her card, but it really is her card, I love it, thanks Carrie!

So I have my Nook right? I love it, I don't even want to pick up any of the paper books sitting on my night table, but what irks me is one of the books I just finished on my Nook is a Trilogy, well book one is Nook-able, and book three is too, but the second book in the series is not, and I am like what? Are you kidding me? So I googled and I did find it but it is not through Barnes and Noble, I don't understand why it is not available through there cause obviously it was made for an e-reader. So the other day I got it on my computer from another online place and then yesterday my sister Jax and my girlfriend Mel told me how to put it on my Nook, and it worked and I was so happy. Then I continued on with my day as normal.
So last night I get in bed about 11:30pm or so and go to turn on my Nook, and nothing, nada, zip. I thought oh well maybe I left it on when I loaded the book, so I went out to my studio to get the charger and then plugged it in, I pushed the button and then it said it was installing updated something or other, then it rebooted, and then it said I had to register my Nook, and I am like what? It's already registered. Then it wanted me to add my wifi information, and I was freaking out. Somehow it was totally back to like I just bought the danged thing.
Once I put in the wifi code (that is a pain in the butt) it connected to Barnes and Noble and it showed the books I have in my B&N library, the e-pub one that I had put on that day was not there. But I have to download them all again, AND it does not remember that they were read. So I am not sure if I did something wrong or what, but I ain't doing it again, it was a pain doing all that over, and it still is not totally back to how it was before. Crazy!!
Ok that's enough of my blabbering for today, I gotta get my totes packed for tomorrow morning, Jeff told me my truck needs gas. I haven't driven anywhere since I got home from the hospital.
Have an awesome Wednesday and thanks for stopping in.
Shoulda bought a Kobo!!!!!!!!
Luv ya,
Jax
Diana- I was just considering asking you how you were liking your Nook. I'm considering one for my birthday and just can't decide between a Kindle & a Nook Color. Any other tips or suggestions about it? Have you tried the library lending feature? That seems like a real plus to me.
I feel for you! I got a Kobo for my birthday in July and I love it. I got that one and not a Kindle because I can take out books from the library. Anyway I took it with me to the doctors on Monday and there was a huge waiting room full of people. I was so happy I brought my ereader but when I turned it on it told me something went wrong and I needed to reset it. I did and then there was nothing on it! I thought I might be able to find wifi in the building but it said I needed to register it online first! I wasn't happy. I came home and plugged it into my computer and transfered all of my loaned books and epubed books I had downloaded (they are in my library in Adobe Digital Editions) but none of my Kobo epub books were there. I logged into Kobo and nothing. Just as I was about to re-download the software I remembered I had a program from Kobo on my desktop and low and behold as soon as I opened it it automatically synced all of my books from Kobo back onto my ereader. Had I remembered to open that from the beginning I could have replaced everythng in under 5 minutes, but I think all the panicing I had done that morning slowed me down so it took me about 20 minutes to figure it all out. Not a good way to spend a morning or end a day in your case!
I hope you are feeling better! I love your blog:)
Diana – I am so tickled that you cased my card! What a pleasant surprise! Thanks for the shout out!
Happy Stampin'
Carrie
Give me a book with pages and a book mark and I am a happy camper. You shoulda done your pottery bisque technique on the card you CASE'd to kick it up a notch. Hugs!
Diana,
I think the problem might be that there was recently a new update to your Nook. The new version is 3.0. Maybe there was a glitch in uploading. I understand that upgrades get sent to your nook in several small packets, and then the little green n shows up to the left side of your screen letting you know that you have an update ready to install when all of the packets have been loaded. I'm waiting for mine right now, hope it doesn't wigg out like yours did. Good Luck,
Carol
