PSA and (another) Free Template :)

ok ladies... this is my public service announcement to everyone reading.... BACK UP RIGHT NOW!!!! you just never know when something might happen! Sadly I've been feeling like it was time to back up again (I *try* to do it once a month -- although I should really be doing it weekly!)... case in point... my hard drive crashed as well as 2 memory sticks (whatever those are - hee hee). The good news is that it was still under the extended warranty we purchased... the sad news -- the warranty didn't cover any data recovery.... HELLO! I need my goods! So... I had to pay to get all of the data retrieved ($69 well spent!). So.. don't put it off any longer and GO BACK UP! ok... I've done my good deed to the digital community.
So it's been almost a week that we *moved* into our new house... I'm feeling quite good about my productivity this week :) oh, and just have to say -- even though we are still somewhat living out of boxes... I have 2 rooms painted!! Yep.. I have my priorities straight - LOL. I want to take some pics and show you guys but my dh has hidden (ok.. he put them in a *safe* place and can't find the batteries)... so guess the pics will have to wait for another day. (plus, I'll need to post a pic of the couch set you guys helped fund with last months sales :) -- everytime I see them I think - awww.. my peeps bought these for me! seriously.
Alright... real quick before I get to the Freebie for today - just wanted to let you know (if this is your first time visiting...) that I've got 2 terrific sales going on right now! and what I mean by terrific is a whopping 50% off my entire inventory at both Elemental Scraps and Shandy Vogt Designs. Also - every designer over at ES is marked down half price PLUS if you spent a total of $10 you get the mega grab bag for FREE! and yes - it really is valued at over $40! (plus we're so nice over there that we're even givin you a sneak peek at what's inside!)... so yeah.. can't beat that deal going on!
and just cause I think you guys are the bees knees... here's another template (sorry - no fun name for this one -- just blog freebie template #30) You can
Downlaod it here

Thanks for the back up reminder. I really need to burn some disks! I checked out your store and my Kaboodle got a lot bigger! I love those double page templates.

Glad you got your data back!

Very, very cool freebie, Shandy!! Thanks so much for the reminder to back up! I've been planning on that for what seems like ever ... and I've just never gotten around to doing it, so now would be a good time to do it!

I don't mind telling you how lucky you are with your hard drive crash. Mine crashed about a month ago and it will cost me hundreds of dollars to save my stuff. That would be all my digiscrapping stuff and all my layouts. Backing up is essential. This is a fab template and I see it being used very quickly. :)

OMG! Where did you manage to get your data restored for $69?!?! I had a HD die last year (luckily not the one my scrap supplies were stored on), but I couldn't find anywhere to have the data on it recovered for less that a couple hundred bucks! Please share! (if you have the time I'd love it if you could email me some help at stepfh@hotmail.com Thank you, thank you!)

Oh and since I almost forgot (*smack*), the template is awesome! Thanks so much. =]

Great template, thanks for sharing.

I had a different hard drive problem--when we sent my laptop in to be fixed (and this was a problem *completely* unrelated to the hard drive), they decided to replace the hard drive AND DESTROYED THE OLD ONE. Fortunately I had everything on another drive, but if I hadn't, I'd be even more upset with them than I am now. So yes, the reminder to back up files is certainly a good one!

Thanks for the template. I got both of your double templates in the july grab bag and I have already used them both. Tonight I bought 3 more template sets off your site. They are so awesome! I wish you would do some more double templates. All of them are so great!

So sorry about your HD. Glad that your data was recoverable. I've heard horror stories...

Thanks for the template.

HeatherB said...

Hi Shandy, glad you managed to get your files back, that would have been awful. I really must start burning some disks too!

Glad to hear your priorities are straight in painting those rooms. We've been here 2 1/2 years and still haven't made it around to painting...how do you do it?!

And thanks for this latest template...even without a fancy name, it's a beauty! :-)

Brittney said...

thanks Shandy for another fun template!! I'm so impressed on your progress at the new house!! YOU ARE WONDER WOMAN!

Kelly said...

Hi Shandy... I'm one of Jessica's babies caught up in a shopping frenzy at the MB yesterday when you popped in to clarify about your freebies and sale items in your store. Funny that I didn't see your post till today when I was going through the threads, but I wish I had so that I could've skipped over to your shoppe to buy some (I just blew the whole budget for the next 3 months! LOL But I will be back at your shoppe soon... maybe sooner, if I can convince dh to support my digi-addiction with just one more purchase, hehe) Just wanted to say thanks so much for clarifying your sale items, and what a pleasure it was to see your on our MB. I totally love all your designs and greatly appreciate your generosity with your freebies and your sale. You rock! :D

Thank you Shandy for yet another wonderful template to add to my stash! Your templates are great! Thanks for sharing them with me.

Unfortunately, your PSA came a little too late for me. :( I lost the last several years of photos and scrapping supplies because the BACKup harddrive failed, as well as the original one. I haven't been able to keep up with burning CDs. :( I was hopeful that we were going to be able to recover the data, but it's looking like that's not going to be possible. We were able to "recover" files onto another HD, but when I try to access them, it gets hung up and fails. I'm heartbroken, especially about the photos.

Thanks so much for the great template; you can never have too many multiple photo ones. Thanks again.

Sharon Kay said...

Thank you for the template...love the multiple photo ones as I always seem to take more than one picture (that is an understatement) at an event.
