Busy, busy!


Wow these last few weeks have been CRAZY! I decided a couple months ago that I wanted to take some continuing ed classes at the U.

I saw a class that taught something I always wanted to learn about: Furniture Refinishing. I know, crazy. I just thought it would be cool to be able to buy a piece at the DI and make it brand new and very usable...plus it would save so much money rather than buying new. Excellent class. It was a month long and I finished it on Saturday. I even found a fabulous coffee table at DI to refinish when it warms up. So there's busy #1. Every Saturday for a month.

Busy #2 is the fact that I am shooting bridals and a wedding next year and I'm pretty decent (so I've been told) but I wanted to get on a professional level so I could make things turn out just perfect. I saw another continuing ed class for Intermediate Photography. I had to score that one too. Every Wednesday and Saturday for about 3 weeks. The same weeks as the prior class. Busy #2.

Pictureline. Awesome photo classes...on Wednesdays from 4-5. I see two that I just HAVE to take. Same nights as the U class. Busy #3.

SO...that equals about 8 hours of classes each week. That's a lot...for me, anyway. I got sick twice. That made things interesting, but somehow the weeks were bearable. Now its time to slow down and enjoy what I've learned...and lots and lots of practice!

More posts to come with pics from my photography adventures...oh and I need guinea pigs...people, rather...who don't mind a free photo shoot with edited pics given to you on a CD...at a location of your choice...any takers? Please... :)
