As You Like It Challenge # 71 - Paper or Non Paper Project and WHY

Hi Crafters,

Well, I'm lucky to be blogging today after the fiasco I have had with my new computer. I should have put a bet on as to whether it would work ok as I would have won, lol.

After spending quite some time with Hubby on Monday evening getting it up and running with a limited set of programmes and working fine I went to bed quite contented. 

Tuesday morning I woke full of enthusiasm to tackle the task of setting up the rest of what I needed to function with my DT blogs and various programmes that I regularly use only to have it throw a wobbly and produce an error message before it had even booted up properly. I then spent the next four hours on the phone to tech. support (good job it was a free phone number) only to have him finally decide that it would be best to reset it to the factory settings.

Arrrgh!! 

All my downloaded cut files for my Silhouette would be lost and I think that was the third and final time I could reload them to a new computer. Not to mention the stuff I lost when my old computer crashed. Do you think someone is trying to tell me something?

..and if I see another whirling wheel in the next week I think I will go over the edge.

All that keeps ringing in my ears is what my daughter said before it arrived,

"I don't know what you are stressing about, there is nothing to getting a new computer, you just take it out of the box, switch it on and it does it all for you".

What planet is she on?!

Anyhoo, rant over,

(I'm saying this with fingers crossed) 

it is working fine now.

Now what was I here for? ahh yes - A Challenge!

The new challenge at As You Like It is to showcase a project using your Favourite of either a Paper or Non Paper Project. You MUST also explain WHY it is your favourite.

My favourite is Paper every time, I have tried knitting, crochet, flower pressing (a lot of years ago) and painting but I always come back to paper crafting for my crafty fix.

So here is my project...
