And The Winner Is...

For my students 14 and older I am doing a new program called "Weekly Goals."  When a student comes to his/her lesson with four "Weekly Goals" accomplished then they get to enter their name into a drawing.  Also, if the student passes off a level of their technique then they get to put their name in the drawing.  Every other month I will pick one name out and that lucky student will win a gift card.  Well today I have chosen the first lucky winner and they will receive a Cold Stone gift card!  Everyone LOVES Cold Stone so I'm sure the winner will be happy that their hard work paid off.

Now for the big news.  Drum roll please...............
And the winner is: MALLORY!!!

I had my husband pick out a paper so that you guys won't think I'm biased. :)  Good job Mallory!  Thanks for all your hard work and I hope you enjoy your favorite ice cream at Cold Stone!  I'll bring your prize to your lesson on Saturday.  Thanks everyone else for working hard.

Success at the Valentine's Masterclass!

I was so pleasantly surprised to see so many of my students at the masterclass last Saturday!  I think that it really helped to perform in front of each other to get our nerves out before the recital.  But I think everyone liked playing fun games and decorating sugar cookies better than performing. :)  Here are some pictures from the masterclass!

The girls decorating sugar cookies!

Find the note game (the back of the cards had different notes on them)

The boys LOVED this game!

It is harder than it looks...

Got to love the hula hoop game.


I think it was a success!  Thanks to everyone for coming!
