Another My Digital Studio Creation

Soon - I promise

My desktop fried today - well it really hasnt booted up for many days now so I took side off to find that apparently the heatsink fell off (my son knows this stuff not me) so every card scan, class document and software I need to scan and post pictures is currently out of commission. Once I locate the paperwork and CD's that go with the scanner and my camera I can post the wonderful cards we created this month at classes.

My Digital Studio NOW available!
