"Dear Diary..."

customer appreciation sale

in appreciation to all my customers, old and new, I am running a sale of my Christmas cards on my etsy shop. 

from now until December 10th, all these cards are just $1.50 each, shipping included. 

this is the lowest price these cards have ever been, and I'm hoping to clear out all that I have in stock. 

the new year will bring lots of changes, and we're going to start fresh. 

AND, anyone who orders at least NINE cards will receive a tenth card FREE. 

thanks again to all who have supported my artistic efforts in the past, and happy holidays. 

later, 

Patty

quote of the day

"Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do."

Benjamin Spock, American pediatrician and author, 1903-1998

today I was subbing for the elementary music teacher, and I must admit, I was scared to death.

even though my degree is in music, I was an orchestra teacher, and definitely (ask any of my former students!) NOT a singer.

nor a pianist, to any degree.

I could lead any group, and "pound parts," as I called it, on the piano, but I never accompanied my students in any performance.

and, I actually think it made them better musicians.

they did not have a loud piano, or electronic music track (ooh, don't get me started on that one!) to follow, and had to rely on counting and listening.

anyway, I had K, 1st, and 2nd graders today, and I'm pleased to say it went very well.

Mrs. Regularmusicteacher was extremely well-organized, and everything I might need to know was in her notes and lesson plans.

I think I could actually do this again...
