I am in my 3rd quarter at the Art Institute - Orange County, CA and I am loving it. I am learning a lot of things about the graphic design field I did not know. Currently, I am working Full-time, taking 3 classes at a time which is 3 nights a week, raising my girls and planning a wedding. So if I don't respond in time to things, please understand I just may be a little busy. But I am back and ready to do. I have missed DA and hope that I can do a lot more around here.

Pray for me that I can get on the honor roll at AI so I can get some scholarships to help fund it...Currently, I am at a 3.0 which for being an old foogie and how busy I am, I am darn proud of myself!

As I try to get back in the swing of things and try to get my schedule adjusted, I find that I am missing hours somewhere in the day.. about the 25th or 26th hour (hehe). I am posting work that I have been doing for my crafty side, so people can see what other skills I have and see what comments I get from those since I am so hard on myself with my work. I never feel good enough and I want so badly to raise money for my wedding this November. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

So I wanted to say hi and see how everyone is doing! I am just looking at all the new groups and new artwork along with fellow Estians! There is such an abundance of amazing talent out there. Well, I will continue to post new stuff.

BTW - I love the new skin idea!

So I looked at my account today and found a charge of $7.95 to my debit card that I have saved on file so I can buy stuff. I looked at my shopping account to see my last transactions and did not find a receipt for this purchase.

I knew I did not have enough money to pay for a subscription and now my bank account has taken this money out along with $34 for the overdraft charges.

This is just another thing in a series of crap that I am going through. 24 hour fitness charge my debit card last week for membership 6 months after I cancelled with them and caused an over draft charge.

My car is literally falling apart - pieces are coming off on me and my bank will refinance it but there was issues with the title and drama that has been a 2-month long series.

I had to get a second job to help pay for bills and with the economy they cut my hours from 20 to 4. I am only guarentee my current full-time job until December because they just laid off 25% of admins in the company!

I am scared and I have two kids that I have to take care and no where to turn. My parents are filing bankruptcy and my grandmother is dying and in Florida. Lotto - hah!

So as of right now, if anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated - I never ask for anything and now I am on hands an knees begging for my kids. I don't know what I can offer in return but I do a lot of scrapbooking (check out my site www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=…) - I can make you a series of cards for the holidays or a mini album, gift tags or even a journal.

I don't know where to turn to! Thanks for listenig to me.
