I had the most gorgeous bunch of flowers DELIVERED to my door!! I honestly have to say that inbetween all my dramas and tears, some of my forum members have helped me pull through and keep going. This gorgeous bunch of flowers were from Dee! Thanks so much Dee, you brought a massive smile to my day!!To all my members, please just remember that if you have registered since feb08, you will need to re-register.
Our hosting companies backup machine broke thursday morning and together with that, 4 months of hard work on the forum was all lost. When after a day of being down they got us up back and running, the last post made was feb08. So much hard work, resources, classes and competition info down the drain!! The retreat info all wiped, the photography lesssons all wiped, all the classes and OTP steps all gone! Alot of which will be lost forever, but alot of the members have put in a HUGE amount of effort to try and help me to rebuild what was left of the forum and without you gals I would have thrown in the towel! And so to all of you, all I can say is
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The forum gaps have filled up alot, retreat info and classes and photography comp is still down, and we will work on getting those back up as time permits.
So thanks for all my cyberhugs and for shedding some tears on my behalf! We are going to be okay!!
Just please remember, that half of our members were deleted as well, and we would love to see you back on our forum!!! Sorry about that girlies!
Have a good weekend!!
OH, and before I forget, pop in over here too!

What a fantastic surpise! I am sure that you needed something like that to bring a smile to your face!
I came by your blog for the first time the other day and was totally inspired by all of your layouts...after a couple of months of negative space, time for me to try something new I think :)
Hope that you have a fantastic weekend!

{hugs} Jolene... I can only imagine how terrible it was for you. But the CISters are all behind you and we'll rebuild it all, better than ever. You worked so hard to make Crafting in Style much, much more than a collection of posts and information ~ it is all about the members and the interaction and the inspiration and the connections... none of that has been lost. Keep smiling :)
