I’m sorry to hear about you loosing your drawings, Linda, that’s really terrible! Still I think you should be happy about winning the prize. I saw you on the local news this morning and felt so proud that you’re affiliated with the lab :-) .
Linda, I am sorry to hear about you loss. The same thing happened to me a couple of months ago. Two years worth of writing, images and sound recordings (mine and of others) gone!

I have since bought a DVD burner and am backing up as much as possible.
Congratulations on the win (complete with DVD burner I see)
I am sorry to hear about losing your drawings :(
But there is some labs can recover the lost data from an electronically or physically damaged hard disk drives so may there still a chance.
Just google recover damaged hard disk drives.
A big fan
