It could have been much worse. Much, much worse. A few inches to the left and the trajectory of the WineTsunami would have hit my laptop, and my external hard drive sitting on the floor. Today, I assessed the damage further, and bizarrely, my printer is still printing! It's just as crappy as it has been, but no worse.
The good news is that only about 16 of the digiscrapped pages look wine-dipped. I managed to find the .psd files of 15 of them, and will do the necessary conversions and send the pages out to be printed (especially since I also drenched all my blank photo paper.)
So, the first step, after admitting there is a problem, is ShamWow! to sop up the mess, and then Sharon's brilliant suggestion of a Sippy Cup! Of course! If first I'm spilling coffee, then the next day wine, all over my printer/computer/expensive stuff, this is the perfect solution!
And look how well ShamWow! blots up those tears! One would wonder (if one was you, not me)if I'm crying over the scrapbook pages, or about life having come to this: drinking Zinfandel from a Sippy Cup.
My husband is a tad horrified that this same person who went on a wine-tasting tour in Napa Valley last September would sink to this. Hey! I didn't SAY I'd be bringing it wine-tasting, if we ever do that again!

OH, MY GOODNESS! This is so funny! We have a Sham Wow, too, and it has come to the rescue many times. Great post!
What a waste of good wine! lol!
I'm glad there wasn't too much damage.
I'm laughing so hard I can hardly type... I absolutely love the sippy cup idea; however, think of it as a spill-preventative cup, NOT a sippy cup!! It's all in the labeling. Love the new header, Angela!!
LOL Oh my... too funny!!
OK, we need to get you a grown up version of the sippy cup. LMAO!
You are hysterical! This is a fantastic post.
You are too funny!!! :) Glad shamwow helped wipe your tears!!
You are hilarious! There's no shame in a sip cup, as long as the wine is making it to your mouth all is good ;)
Snicker!
First, that puppy face looks so familiar. Somebody very near uses it on me at least once a week. And it always works! Second, I'm sorry about your wine accident, but it made me laugh because of what happened last night. Lee, in his sleep, threw a pillow towards my nightstand and hit my glass of water. The water spilled into the top drawer of the nightstand that was partially open. I turned on the light and started mopping up the mess with tissues, and, you're going to love this, Lee finally woke up and asked me what the heck was I doing up at 3:00 a.m.!
