BLOGSHOPLA Day Two

Boot camp, day two.  

I survived.  Sort of. 

The ladies at BLOGSHOP teach you a lot about photoshop.  

There is no question about that!  Today we recapped everything we covered in yesterday's class and went over how to {liquify, mask, black & white, adjusting levels, adding color, gradients, healing, cloning, filters, actions, overlaping and multiplying}.

This little book is the Blog Shop Bible.  

I've got to keep it close, read it, put it into action and repeat. 

Our lunch today was provided by Urban Palate in cute custom painted baskets!

So delish!

We were all so excited to get these BKR bottles!  

Awesome glass bottles with interchangable silicone sleeves.

Coffee was provided by Broome Street General Store.

Overall I was so thrilled to be a part of this workshop.  The food was great, the environment was semi-creative and the content was rich! Most importantly, I met some amazing woman from all over the country.  I can't wait to see what type of amazing creativity they bring to all of our lives!

Well I've been looking forward to this for months now.  

Photoshop boot camp.  

Specifically, BLOGSHOP.  It is being held in LA right now and man, although I had a great day, I can't help but feel incredibly inadequate.  I love writing this blog.  Heck, I love writing it every day.  But, I know what I see in my head and that's not what's being delivered on these pages....So, I'm trying.  

I will get better and I hope that you help me get there!

My head is spinning.  

Really.  I get very frustrated.  

I generally do things very quickly and picking up on everything we learned today is not one of them.

But, the ladies of Blogshop eased the punch by giving us these goodie bags!

~ Note Cards by Sugar Paper 

~Nail Jewelry by Hex

So, will I feel better about tomorrow?

Until next post...
