HERE GOES!! NEW POST WITH NEW LAPTOP??? TRYING..!!!~~~























Hello everyone..well i am still getting accustomed to my NEW APPLE computer re last post.. (just bought the "mouse" today which makes it much easier for me~!!)..

hubby has set the computer up for me BUT I havent had time to book in any lessons yet from the "apple" store...so that will be an interesting experience...!!...

I am just soo scared...as I am worried I will NOT remember anything they tell me..!!
& this from an ex lawyer...jee wiz...I have become very scared of learning new stuff in my 53rd year...(is this NORMAL??)...~~~~~

But i DID manage to get the nice chic roses edging on my new blog I am trying to list...

"The Vintage Hatbox"......(which will eventually match my new internet store)..

BUT I CANNOT GET the header to match it...
even hubby couldn't do it!! SHHHHH!!

soo ANY help with that would be APPRECIATED!!!

anyway with having this fab new piece of computer... I am in the process of cleaning up the table i work from at the front of my house..

SOO today i have shifted the chic candlelabra I LOVED on this table to another position in this room..

bought a nice little office tray thingey to stand beside my table/laptop..with several drawers containing bills to pay...ebay stuff...tape measures...aussie post guide..etc etc..

placed mags to read..
mags to list on ebay.."
books I LOVE...etc & other lots of bits & bobs on my "computer table"..as I call it!!

HEY!!!! it CANNOT BE A BLANK canvas ..that is NOT MOIS!!
I have to HAVE STUFF on a top of a blank piece of furniture!!!

I have even hung some little tin birds i have had for ages from the faux berry arrangement..

I changed all my bookcases around re my "FRENCH" books/magazines etc...

SOO this is MY first post with my new computer...I have been struggling to kind of find where I have kept the photos??
on my OLD computer they came up in a "date" folder...& I could look at ALL of them and pick & choose which ones I wanted.

With this computer...I am NOT sure where I have put them...so I am just going through all kind of "jpeg" images...(which isnt showing me their image)..so I am just clicking on what I think i can remember photoing in order??

NOT very effective.....SOO that is something I need to work on...

AND I have tried to delete photos I have duplicated...I did press "delete" & thought they had gone...BUT I have messed this up......

Soo please bear with me..
apologies for repetitive photos...MMM!! how to DELETE...is my next hurdle??

I thought holding down the "mouse" & pressing the delete button would do it??
Obviously doing something VERY basically incorrect.....
shall ASK the MEN of the house when they get home!!

ANYWAY......~~~~~~~~~~~~

hopefully I am kind of getting there..???

(ladies with MACs ...please DONT laugh)!!!
I was struggling with my PC...soooo this is A BIG BIG STEP for this OLD GIRL!!~~~
