Grrrrr to Windows Vista

UGH!!

I hate Windows Vista...seriously. I got my Dell laptop two summers ago and it's a great computer...except for the fact that it uses Windows Vista.

Why, you ask? Well let me tell you!

Downloads.

After I started using my laptop, my friend introduced me to a site where I could get cute free fonts. So I visited the site and downloaded some awesome fonts and never looked back. Well, here recently I've found new fonts and digital scrapbook material that I wanted to download and use (hadn't tried downloading anything in at least a year). Problem...now my computer won't open the downloads. It makes me SOOO mad!! At first, I checked out my default program and it was set to Microsoft Office, which opened things and just gave me a pop up box says the download was missing something or invalid or some crap.   So I changed my default to Internet Explorer....and it still doesn't open my downloads :(   Even worse...if I click "open" then my computer goes crazy and 15 different windows pop up and flash crazily. Through all that madness, I have to be extremely patient through this virus-like action to find the file, send to trash, then permenantly delete, for the madness to stop.

I googled...and no one has any answers. There were forums where other people had trouble downloading because of Vista.

I'm sad and don't know what to do...end of story :(

Thanks for allowing me to vent, haha.

Awesome Craft Ideas

I LOVE browsing through the Crafts and DIY Project section of Country Living!

Here are some of the projects I adore and are being added to my "To Do in the Future" list, haha :)

Pump Up Mason Jar



I ♥ this!

Since there isn't a tutoral for it on Country Living, here is one from a fellow blogger, Girl In Air. She offers a few different options too. You can use the plastic soap pumps like she demonstrated or buy a silver one to match the zinc lids.

CD Case Project

I think it's brilliant that they decided to cover cd cases to make a wall photo...I will definately do something like this in my craft room :)

Postcard Wallet

So cute! I need to make some business cards and this would be great to store them in :)

Decorative Plates

I adore this!

Hope you enjoy these as much as I do!
