Which is why I'm so fired up for today! I'm getting a jump start on my New Year's resolutions and (hopefully) learning a few new tricks from two truly amazing and inspiring women.  I'm heading into NYC for a two day work shop known as <a href="http://blogshopla.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Blogshop</a>.  The <a href="http://blogshopla.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Blogshop</a> ladies have been on a global teaching tour for the past few months.  <span style="font-size: x-small;">(I'm three parts intimidated and one part totally excited!)</span> Taught by Bri Emery of <a href="http://www.designlovefest.com/" target="_blank">designlovefest</a> + photographer <a href="http://angelaandithyle.com/" target="_blank">Angela Kohler</a>, it's intended to be a photoshop boot camp of sorts.  At a minimum, it looks like it's going to be a lot of fun and completely motivating!
