Hope your Christmas shopping is zipped up and put to bed.  If not, get crackin’ McCrakin’, Christmas is Sunday.

My shopping is finally done and I’m using my spare minutes to sharpen up my Illustrator and Photoshop skills (for fashion design.)  My FIDM alumni group alerted me to this great site started by a fellow FIDM alum, Ludmila Adams, www.fashionchalkboard.com.  Since I was staying at home taking care of my little guy for the first few years, my skills dulled so I needed to sharpen them, but lack of babysitters, time, and $$ prevented me from taking a course at a community college, or other school.  This was perfect.  I could do it when I had time, at home, and wasn’t too pricey.

A great present for yourself!
