Synopsis Sunday Week 11, 12 & 13

I had so much going on at once, that I didn't get a chance to post my Synopsis Sundays. So I decided to post them all now.


School
      I had a really great idea for one of my projects. I spent 4 hours creating a really detailed face for my Zanette's Got A Big Head illustration. Than the next day when I sat down to finish it, it was gone. I guess i didn't save it, right? Idk. I was so upset, I almost cried. I didn't have time to do such a detailed face again, so I had to settle for not so detailed.
     Than for my next project, we pulled business names out of a hat to create logos for. I got a really hard one, Bent's Schwinn Cycling & Fitness. At first I thought it was a gym, which would have gave me more options. Than I realized it's a bike shop. Which dramatically narrowed my options. Than I realized that I misread the instructions, instead of one logo, it was three! I had one amazing logo, than two last minute iffy ones.  :)
     Next, we were tasked to create a medical illustration for a pediatric office and a story book cover. I created a poster on DNA Fingerprinting. I created a children's story book cover for Daidrian, the Sleepy Turtle.
     Lastly, we created our own font, I named mine Pink Tie Affair. Also we were tasked to illustrate one of the 7 deadly sins. I chose Lust.

Family
     DJ and Zan' Drea stayed the weekend with their TiTi (Dennis's sister Nisha), from Friday evening to Sunday evening. They had a blast as they always do, and returned to a new home.
     Daidrian has been attempting to walk. YAY!! He will be 1 in April.  DJ didn't walk until 13 months and Zan' Drea until 15 months. I'm pretty excited.

Moving
     We got the keys to our new place on Friday, 03/15/2013, moved in on Saturday. the moving process did not go smoothly by any means. The fact that we had our stuff in a storage unit that clearly was not sealed tightly, as the storage placed said it would be, caused mold on allot of items. :/ than we found out that our washer was broken because it was dropped in the moving process. So we had to get a new one. Than on top of that, my car blew 2 tires. Oh and I got sick. Needless to say that was the longest 3 weeks ever. But on the up side, we are all moved in, have 2 new tires and a new washer. :)

Randomness 
  • I finished Insurgent.
  • POTM: OPI Khloe Had A Little Lam-Lam (on my toes)
  • Will be getting back into scrapbooking in the coming weeks.

Synopsis Sunday Week 10

Blogger has been giving me error messages all day, I'm not sure whats going on. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. Its safe to say if your reading this, than its probably fixed. Which is a good sign. :)

School
This week in class we had 2 projects instead of the usual two. I recreated an illustration by Chip Wass as well as created a slinky box. I had fun with the projects especially the illustration by Chip Wass.

Family
The kids are starting to recover from their colds. DJ stayed the night with his cousin on Friday so he could attend a birthday dinner for my sister in law. I couldn't attend due to work. :(

Moving
We move in 6 days, get the keys in 5. I'm so excited!! We have friends and family helping us move that's why we aren't moving until that Saturday.

Synopsis Sunday Week 9 2013

 

 
School
     This was the last week of Introduction to Marketing and Self Promotion. In class we focused on branding ourselves  and making it stick. I revamped my social media with my logo and I'm loving it. :) This was my favorite project so far. We took our finals on Thursday also, I got an 92.

Family
     All three kids are sick this week :( DJ was the first to get sick, I was really hoping to keep it contained but DJ doesn't seem to understand the concept of covering his mouth when he coughs.

Goals
     This week I was on top of making moves toward my goals until Friday when my desire for sleep got the best of me. Still pretty happy with the week, though.

Moving
     We had to change out moving plans because the apartment complex we were moving to kept changing things. Which is sooo annoying. So we are no longer moving to that complex we found another apartment complex that we like better. Only down fall is we had to delay moving by 2 weeks.

Randoms
