Day 17...My official day to begin Digital design...


I feel like a child back in school whereby 
once a task was completed you got a gold star....
WELLLLLL, my official date was supposed to be today,
but seeing I was already working on my syllabus, my tutor
started me off with my lessons...

SEW here I have already completed 3 courses,
and now on my 4th, on my official start date....
Yeah, I hear you....but listen I compete only with myself
and my alter ego is fierce..just saying lol

They give you this certificate of completion for 
every course you take...I have over 352 more to go....
I don't think I will be printing them all off..lol
just saying....

Anyway, the funniest thing I have learned this far
is CAMERA RAW...now they don't call it that 
as you read this...they call is CAM-  MER - RAW....
Well anyway, it's like this secret hidden application
in Photoshop that has you cleaning up photos...
It is really terrific, problem is or was....I was
fixing all these photos and saving them...but 
they forgot to tell me where I hid them.....lol

Ahhh you are not really interested I am sure..
But let me tell you, I am not such a NICE student 
today....After 2 hours of reviewing my videos,
and searching everywhere...I found them..
it is a SECRET, where they are, but somehow
I found them....
I stamped my foot, spouted off a few 
un-ladylike remarks, and I think I am ready
to play nice again....

OHHHHHH have to tell you...
A lot of ALTOIDS tins have arrived...
THANK YOU SEW MUCH....
I am just waiting for my special notions to arrive
this week, and this weekend I will be starting
on a wee project for you all...
I KNOW you will love it...just know it...

And yes...can't for the life of me, remember...lol

Have a couple more lessons to complete
before this day is over, my official 1st day..
whew....


Oh and I am reading everything...may not get to respond to all of them
but knowing you are there silently cheering me on...well lol
almost as good as my coffee..almost

Go Samm, go! Three down (or gold stars in) and 352...to go!!!

Thanks for the chuckle. So glad to know someone other than myself can save photos and then not find them ;o)

Christel Hutson said...

Dear Samm, I have no doubts you will master every level, and take home ALL of the gold stars. My brother studied graphic design in college (with a Mac) and photoshop gave him a run for his money..there are so many applic....APPS! haha they can run, but they can't hide, right? you go girl! xoxo Christel

They're going to move you to the front of the class! So glad you found the pictures...and I can barely imagine any unladylike words! Chuckle! Glad you are facing the challenge and appear to be winning the race! Now, I am very curious about those altoids!

Great for you!! 'Firsts' are so few and far between as time goes by. I am so pleased that you are eager to keep going forward in such a positive way! Way to go Pretty Lady!

Adele said...

Can I say I have to agree with one of your friends there, you are busy I know you are and yet you still find time to bring us along for a chuckle or two. Samm you are unique I can say that and your heart is big enough for us all to fit into it. How lucky for us it is. I know you will do well, and I can only imagine what next you will be making and sharing with us. I enjoy your adventure. Your dear old friend. xo

Corrie said...

I found an Altoid tin in my drawer yesterday & thought of you! Now you & Altoids will forever be linked :). Can't wait to see what you do with them. Good luck on your class, it's always good to be ahead.

Cheering you on with my Cup of coffee. Sending a Big Hug. You go girl!!!

Michele said...

Wow. That is a lot of courses you have to do. But you are a "do-er" so I know you will keep at it until every one is mastered. Congrats on those you've completed so far.

Jane's Fabrics and Quilts said...

I am one of your biggest cheerleaders! How wonderful to learn! Now I have to admit whether it is Camera Raw or Cam mer raw...
I still have no idea what it means!

Thearica said...

You go girl!

I have been stomping my feet today too but only because I am doing taxes. ughh! ha!

Patti said...

I love to hear your enthusiasm just pouring out! Congratulations, and you inspire me to learn something new as well. I just need to find it!

♥Duff said...

Barb said...

Good luck!!

Claudia said...

You will be SEW awesome! Claudia

Losing things is my specialty!! In fact, I had to give the boy a big ring-a- dingy and have him walk me thru something dealing with Picassa. I couldn't find my current pictures to put on my blog. He directed me there in about two jiffys. Makes me feel so incompetent and that is NOT a comfortable feeling. I can't imagine YOU losing anything!! Hope you find some time to quilt or make something. I looked for some Altoid tins but had given my empty ones for VBS last summer. I'll send some as I get new ones.
Blessings

StitchinByTheLake said...

When I was teaching I would have called you an overachiever on steroids! :). But learning new things is going to keep you young and smart instead of old and forgetful like some of the rest of us. We miss you when you're off studying but we love you and we'll wait! Blessings, Marlene

Sharon said...

Madame Samm I do miss hearing from you everyday but I am glad that you are being challenged...if you are going to do make sure it is a challenge if it is easy it is not worth remembering....hugs to you my friend....

You sew INSPIRE !

Snoodles said...

Don't be the least bit concerned about answering our messages....we're just cheering you on, and encouraging you! You rock, and we are all inspired by you (and your alter ego, of course. Wouldn't dare to leave her out! LOL).

Melissa @ Happy Quilting said...

Yippee Skippee for you!!! You deserve a gold star :) And congrats on being part of the Riley Blake design team. Awesome!!

Nancy B said...

Is it too late to get in on the Altoid wagon? Congratulations on your accomplishments. I admire your tenaciousness.

IHaveANotion ~ Kelly Jackson said...

I know it's really bad if you can't find the photos!!! You can find almost anything on a computer. Sounds like the program is fun and interesting too.

I can't wait to see what more you'll be doing with all your new skills.

Smiles,
Kelly

I so would love to master photo shop, but it's way over my head!! You go girl!!

Hillbilly Tonya said...

Popping in to say hello. I've been very busy since Christmas. A death in the family and then being behind just caused a domino of being behind and behind...

Sounds like your new year is going great!

Michelle May said...

Totally fun! Congratulations Samm! You are such a smart cookie!
Hugs!
