Hi Everybody,
I have no card for you today but I wanted to share this piece of news that dropped into my inbox earlier this week.
This is from a lady called Melinda and I have given it some consideration.... a whole two minutes ....
Here is part of the email I got ....
I have been following your blogs for a long time now and just love them! I am always so excited to see what you have come up with each day for your crafting audience.
Not only do I love to craft, but I also teach journalism at Mid America Nazarene University in suburban Kansas City, USA.
This semester I am teaching Reporting & Writing and requiring my students to create and maintain a blog for the duration of the class. I admire your work so much that I'd love for you to tell my students about your blogging experiences.
Would you be able to join us via Skype on Tuesday, Sept. 3?
I know you are incredibly busy and I have not given you much lead time, but I couldn't resist at least trying to make this happen.
If you agree, then you would be addressing a small (not more than 10 students), upper-division, multimedia class. The students are juniors and seniors, and the atmosphere is conversational.
The students also would have questions prepared to ask you and would have explored both the Flowers, Ribbons and Pearls and the Card Making Magic sites.
You are absolutely one of the best and most thorough bloggers I've encountered so would love to give my students the opportunity to pick your brain.
Now I ask you ... what would you say to an offer like that ???? My answer was Yes Yes Yes ... I would be delighted and honored to do so and of course I wrote back to accept the offer.
The reply back from Melinda was ...
Thanks so much for agreeing to speak to my students.
You will love them; they are wonderful people, who I've had in classes since they were freshmen and sophomores.
And I know they will love you, too!
And so I am preparing for this and I am nervous about it. The time scale is different and we need to set it up with Melindas' computer technicians to make sure we get it right.... otherwise I will be sat here talking to myself !!
But what an honor to be asked in the first place ... and didn't I say that 2013 has been an amazing year for me so far ... and it's only August
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
