Hi ,
Let me take a moment to talk about one of the most important tools to a scrapbooker: the camera.
It was my mother's birthday-trip to the coast, and I was taking lots of pictures, as usual. Then I set the camera down for a moment. Next time I looked at it, it was marinating in its own personal lake of water. I hadn't even seen the open water bottle.
Needless to say, I am very, very lucky that I didn't have to go camera shopping afterward. My Dear Hubby took it apart to let it thoroughly dry, and finally my camera started working again.
But what can you take away from my painful experience?
First of all, consider getting into the habit of never consciously putting electronic items like cameras in precarious positions, especially where water or coffee or other liquids might be involved. There is almost always a safer spot to set it that won't require much more effort.
As you're getting used to that, also try to do a quick visual check of any place you're setting down your electronic goodies. Even places that seem like they ought to be safe may not be, as I discovered this week. Once you get used to doing it, a little glance won't take much mental energy, and it could save you a lot of anguish and money.
Better to learn from my experience than learn the hard way!
Love and scrapbooking success,
Linda Sattgast
PS. However, if you need a good excuse to buy a new camera...
