blogging

An internet friend has decided to celebrate posting her 333rd post on her blog by having a give away. Check it out at http://www.wilopiooguta.blogspot.com/ Sort of a neat idea. I wish I had thought of it.

Reading back in my posts I realize that I hadn't let you know that the second of my classes in May had also been cancelled. Be careful what you wish for etc. But this means that I have another class that I can market in any way I want. This has been quite a ride over the past few months, preparing these classes, and forcing myself to become proactive in marketing them. In the past people would come to me and say "Can you teach a class in(fill inthe blank)? I would say yes and then work like a dog to get something ready in time. Now I have half a dozen of them all prepared with supply lists etc, ready to dust off whenever an inquiry comes in. The two I had planned for May will have to be cut down to one day classes to be marketed successfully. This will be easy for the first one, but a little more difficult for the second.

However, I am locked into teaching a "test Class" for the Box Making, at the end of March. Since I have a contract that was arranged when it was a test class, I won't be paid, but there are already several people signed up and I must respect the contract. It will still give me a chance to work out the "bugs" inthe class. These test classes are sure a good idea. The beading class I taught yesterday will be changed before I offer it again, but overall worked well.
