A word of advice...if you've been thinking that you should back up your files onto disk lately, DO IT! Don't wait :(
The flip side of this trauma, is that I get to start the new year with a clean slate. I have my blog's links to keep me happy and busy for a long time. I stored 99% of my digital photos on Flickr (thank God the Maui pics are safe!) And, I have Ravelry and all you wonderful bloggers out there to keep me well-supplied with more inspiration!
Next, I must do some other slate-cleaning....b/c I'm inspired now, you see! It actually feels good to start anew.
One thing I'm sorry I lost is all my Paper Panache downloads. This is a paper-piecing website that hosts a new free quilting pattern every couple of months. The patterns I collected over the past year are lost. They are only available free for a short time. Sigh. Well, it's not like I'm doing much quilting or sewing anymore, so I can let it go...(I'm still reeling, can you tell?!)
But, I can still use the computer, and 2009 is rolling in! We have our health and prosperity intact, so there is a lot to be thankful for!!! I hope everyone out there has the same.
Have a lovely holiday season! (Hope you like the blog's new look!)

Oh, I'm so sorry...I feel your pain because a similar thing happened to me recently. NO fun at all. Definitely a good reminder to everyone to backup on a regular basis!!
Oh that would be such a blow! Even if you weren't quilting that much, the possibilities now denied to you. But life goes on. And now you've served as A Lesson To Us All.
Sorry to hear about that though! Awful.
Oh that is a sad thing. I really must start backing up my photos. I just wanted to wish you a wonderful holiday season and all happy things for 2009...hopefully that year will not see any computer calamities.
The same thing happened to me last summer! I lost everything on my hard drive. But have I learned anything? No! I still have nothing backed up. Oh, well. There is always next year! I love the new look of your blog! Stay postive! Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year!
Oh yikes! I'm glad you were able to retrieve your pictures. I think you are right about the clean slate...it can be a good thing. Happy Holidays!
Oh, my goodness...my worst nightmare. Must do my back up...thanks :) Good luck with your clean slate :)
Glad you didn't lose everything!!
