Back to School!

Last night was my first class at UArts!

One of the things I wanted to do when I was unemployed was to go back to school. It took me a while to decide what I wanted to go for... so many decisions!

I waffled back and forth between culinary school and art school and when I found the UArts Continuing Education program in Print Design, I was hooked! The program is exactly what I wanted to learn in Print Design!

When I tried to register in the summer, the first class in the series was sold out. Since the class I am taking is the pre-requisite for the program, I was out of luck until Spring semester opened up... which was last night!

Last night was great! We started in Photoshop and will progress to Illustrator and then InDesign. Once I have the foundations under my belt, I'll be able to take classes on each specific program. I also get to choose 1 elective and I think I might choose a Photography class. I have always wanted darkroom experience!

So for the next 10 weeks, I'll be flexing my chops and learning some new skills. I plan on practicing on photos for this blog, so keep an eye out for them!

Thing-a-day | Feb 1-29, 2008

I'm signing up for the Thing-a-day blogging event in hopes to jump-start my creativity.

February is such a drab month to begin with and there is a chance I will be having back surgery and will need something to motivate me to DO SOMETHING while I am sitting watching bad reality tv.

I have lots of knitting, embroidery, sewing, scrapbooking, etc that I just can't seem to get to. This will give me the deadline that my psyche so desperately needs!

To join Thing-A-Day, click here and register by 1.31!

Merge Ahead

Done. I merged my 3 blogs into one. From now on all posts will take place here. I'll post a note on my other 2 blogs in hopes that everyone will re-direct their links. Looking forward to sharing again!

Resolution!

One of my resolutions for 2008 is a carryover from 2007 and that's to SIMPLIFY.

If you know me, you know that I have three blogs:
Stellaland (travels and such!)
She Who Knits (my knitting/craft blog)
StellaBites (this one)

This year I bought a domain name where I hope to house all 3 blogs so I can keep everything in one place.
I need a little help doing this (I need to merge all 3 blogs to 1 platform and then make sure they are still in chronological order when I go live!).

In the meantime my blogs will be pretty quiet. I figure the less posts I have to merge, the faster I can get it done.

Stay tuned for the big reveal... hopefully this won't be a 2009 resolution!
