Hey friendlies, hope your weekend was lovely! Ours was a little gruesome thanks to the Denver Organ Trail & Zombie Crawl. If you followed along on Instagram, then I’m sure you were a little unsure if you wanted to be my friend. I’m a pretty freaky zombie.

I’ve been keeping a secret for a few weeks now and I’m so excited to finally reveal! Brittany of Canvas & Slate and I have been working together these last few weeks and I’m happy to announce that you will be able to take a crash course in Adobe Illustrator. This class will give you the knowledge and tools to help you grow your blog, your business, or your interests. The sky is the limit! I’m a novice. A ridiculously new newbie. But not anymore! Thanks to Brittany, we all have the chance to learn the ins and outs of AI and I couldn’t be more thrilled!!! Brittany has been so wonderful and she’s also created a downloadable invitation printable for all of your October parties. Read all of the deets below. 🙂
