Monday Mornings

Well, as you know, I'm back in school (and in my forties!! Forty-two this c0ming friday to be exact!) It's funny but as much as I love what I am doing, I still don't like monday morning!!  
(does ANYONE like monday morning hmm...I wonder?) 
Thanks for your post Brenda  (Pinnick) I love your artwork ! And I appreciate your words of 
encouragement-no "it ain't easy" as you said, but I know it will totally be worth it. Gotta run for now, it's monday morning and I'm too old to skip class!!
Look for pix from my design class coming to this blog real soon :)
Have a happy day. Kristen
p.s. you can see Brenda's art at www.brendapinnickdesigns.com

First Post

Hello and welcome to my first post. I am so excited!  So many new things happening in my life right now. First, my website is (finally) updated.  It has a whole new look and is so much more professional, clean and interactive....there will be lots added in the next month or two, including arts and crafts tips and technique videos and of course more new artwork!!! Well, this blog is not an advertisement and I certainly don't want it to come across as such. Like I said, I'm just excited about it all. Mostly I would like to see this blog be a forum for creative spirits. A place to share ideas and the joys (and sometimes frustrations) of making cool stuff! 
Aside from those topics, I also would like to share some of my experiences of being back in school as a graphic design student. I am learning so much and enjoying the journey tremendously. I think maybe there are a lot of "non-traditional" students out there too and a lot of benefit could be had from starting this dialogue.....
PLEASE share your thoughts here with me, post your ideas and ask questions. Until this blog really gets going, I will just post some of my thoughts each day......so hopefully YOU will contribute soon-it'll be way more interesting with your interaction!!!! LOL
Thanks and have a happy day. Kristen
