Is it still Summer?

For the last couple of weeks has been extremely busy at my work preparing for the Fall/ Winter Line for the pro players in the NFL, and NHL teams.
All I can say for being tested to triple task last week, I am close to falling over, but I am not going to complain,  I do love my job.
Love,
~Courtney~Xxx
Hopefully I will be in Germany this winter.

Some News

Hi Everyone! Can anyone research Carpal Tunnel as of why in the world does it come and go? I was talking to one of the physical trainer's who asked me if I was still wearing my cast even if I am not in  excruciating pain? Now with my job as of  transporting heavy sport related  catalogs to different areas of the room at work this week. I am still stubborn of not taking any breaks even when I am constantly working on my art.

You all are thinking I am only  twenty to even have Carpal Tunnel, why am I even getting it that I should be enjoying my life?

Much Love,
~Courtney~ Xxx

Some Updates

Hi Everyone, how are you all? I am actually looking into some Non-Credit Classes at Otis Collage of Art and Design in LA, because a friend of mine gave me a brilliant idea as she noticed the portrait work I have been working on as of why haven't I thought of becoming a "Forensic Artist."  It will be something for me to think about, since I am willing to do it, and who knows what I will be interning for.

Much Love,
