Clearing up some confusion.

About all the patterns I lost that I had scanned. I had just scanned all my books! I have over 50 and a lot of them were the big hard cover books with a lot of pages. I scan my patterns and then print them so that I can mark on them as I go. I was so upset with losing all that time I took to scan them that sadly I just said "screw it". And now that im back to cross stitching sadly my scanner is broke now. *sighs* Just not a win win situation for me. So i'm making copies til I can get my scanner working again.
