CHEF PIERRE WINE!

Good Afternoon!

To say I'm struggling a bit with my Computer? Is an understatement!!

ALL my digital images plus family photo's were on an External Drive to keep them safe??

Only thing is it fell off the consul onto the floor a drop of 18"and according to the Computer man nothing is retrievable!! Unless I want to send it away at a cost of hundreds! The only thing he said he could do was empty my Recycle Bin..So that's what he did last week only to find it goes back to when I first bought this computer and nothing I need is there?? So the computers going back again for another try! I thought that having an external drive was a good thing? and felt everything was safe! Only to find out it isn't..

Now this little sweetie lives at Bugaboo Stamps and he's called Chef Pierre Wine

Coloured with Copics...I've used a Crafts-Too Embossing folder with hearts on at the back of the computer sentiment. Papers LOTV pad,
