I expected a big let down in momentum...it never happened. I have incorporated my fun lettering into my daily/weekly classroom routine and it has just become a part of the day. I like it and it has opened up a whole can of creative whoop ass into my day! I really enjoy it and find it oddly relaxing. I will say, however, the workbook is where I experience mutiny. I am much more a learn as you go, why practice upstrokes and downstrokes when I can be creating?!?! This is why I was a piano lesson dropout. I only wanted to play by ear, this didn't go over well with piano teachers who want to teach you a solid foundation. Ain't nobody got time for that...LOL!
What I learned this week: I have trouble with spacing. I practice and practice but mistakes are where I am learning!
My fun skill is coming in handy when I deliver gifts. It's that little extra oomph!
