-I lost some family mementos that I cannot replace.
-While most of my autographs are in my home. I had a few signed 8x10's there. Including some from some deceased actors.
-The biggest pain is my autograph list. Whenever I send out an autograph request. I write down the date and the address used. Since sometimes I get certain addresses. It was destroyed and I had no back up...Well not completely. A few months ago I signed up at Star Tiger and did put in a bunch of the addresses and dates. But, it was by no means complete. So now I am trying to remember everything...And I sent almost 100 requests.
-The one good thing is my custom card templates. As many of you know I make custom cards to send to the celebs. Since I use Paint Shop Pro and have a Mac at home. I had the program and all of the templates and cards I have created at my work computer....with no back up. Until about 1 or 2 before the fire. I saved all of the files to a portable hard drive. So they were all saved. Phew. To have to redo the ones I had made would have been a monster job.
But, the important thing is that nobody is hurt and my business is up and running which allows me the ability to continue with my hobby.
