Why, Hello there!

Hi!  Ok, this is not my first attempt at a blog.  Not by a long shot.  But this time I'm going to try to keep at it.  Maybe if I don't try so hard, it'll happen a bit more naturally.  So don't expect too many posts right away (not that I'm expecting there to be too many people reading this for now).

Let me introduce myself to start off.  I am an elementary music teacher and mother of two.  I LOVE learning new things.  I finished my Master's Degree just a few years after my Bachelor's (and while teaching, too!), and just got my National Board Certification. I love technology and try to incorporate that into my teaching as often as possible, and I love multicultural music also.  All this keeps me pretty busy, but I have also been tinkering in some crafty things, mostly sewing.  I tried my hand at cake decorating, and I really enjoy party-planning (although really, I don't know enough people to get into that too much-I'm pretty much a hermit).  I also have played around with scrapbooking type stuff (card-making, too). Oh!  And photography, too!  I would love to learn to take some purty pictures.  :)   Whew. It's all too much!  But I find that if I can't keep my mind running at a thousand miles an hour I just get bored, so here I am.

I plan to use this blog to document the different things I'm into at the moment.  It may be sewing (and I really plan for that to be the main component of this blog), but it could also be party planning, cake-decorating, baking, cooking, parenting, music educating, etc, etc, etc (does anyone else say that with Yule Brenner's voice in their heads?).

Well, anyways, that's that.  I look forward to blogging more in the future!
