Smartphone’s wardrobe

Yes, my Samsung Galaxy S2 has acquired a wardrobe of her own now! I came across this cover while looking through the Internet:

and I knew, just knew, I was meant to have it!

And when you see it close-up or ‘in real life’ it’s even more beautiful than its picture. Seriously! I got it from an online shop called Mobile Fun. They’ve got EVERYthing for your mobile phone! And I just ordered it on Monday and it arrived today (Wednesday).

And today, after shedding buckets of tears, searching the help forums on the Internet, and having tech support people scratch their heads, I finally got my phone to connect to my wireless broadband. I don’t know how I did it…. I just kept fooling around with settings until suddenly it connected. Hallelujah! Of course, it’s not often I’ll need that feature because when I’m home I use my PC, not my phone. Doh! But then again, you never know….

My Norway Cruise mini album is coming along, but I’m trying to find some instructions for doing the special pages I’ve seen in other mini albums. They’re the kind that have various pockets, pull tabs, cascading flaps, etc. rather than just plopping a photo or two on each page. I’ve seen plenty of videos (check out Cathy Orta, Laura (from Follow the Paper Trail), and scores of others, where someone makes one and shows you basically how she/he did it. However, I want to find and print a set of instructions so that I can follow them, not keep repeating a video over and over, stopping it every other time. Know what I mean? I have found a few cases where the instructions are offered for sale, but I’m hoping that perhaps some manufacturer or craft store will post a free one. If you know of any, please do let me know in the comments section. I’ve ‘Googled’ until blue in the face, but no joy.

As for the mini albums on YouTube, they’re amazing! How is it that some people are so creative, when others like me are ‘inspirationally challenged’. I can put together a good scrapbook page or mini album or card once I’ve seen something that someone else made, but seldom come up with an idea on my own. No, I don’t slavishly and/or blatantly copy…. I just need the kickstart of an idea, then I’m up and away.
