It was my Stepmum's birthday this week and she is fond of dogs. She very much loves Month, their relatively new dog.
A while back, my penpal Char, who used to blog, sent me a thank you card for a Christmas present. It was a cute shaped sausage dog card. I decided it could be reused into a new card so I stuck it with sticky pads onto this blue card blank and then used a tiny star punch to cut myself a tiny stencil which I used with a blue watercolour pencil to draw stars all over it plus a border. The final stage was adding a handwritten 'Happy Birthday greeting on the dog' s back. I was pleased with how it turned out.
Today, I had to teach a French lesson before my music lesson. There is a, French boy in the class. I asked him to let me know if I pronounced anything wrong.
After the lesson, I asked him how I did and he told me that I was really good and that there were some words that I sounded exactly like a French person. This was very sweet and nice of him. It's funny that we can never know exactly what we sound like to a native as speaker when we speak a foreign language but we can tell when someone is not a native speaker of our own language. Anyway, this was just a thought that came to mind!
Hope you are well! Xx
