Between writing and posting this Musical blog post, I lost my charming and loving father-in-law. He is now free from his suffering and is with much of his family. Dad had not seen his own mother in 80 years. Last night, the lights blinked on the chandelier several times. I believe this was him letting us know that he is finally free.
This week, Xmas Dolly has given us ANOTHER freebie. So here's my post complete with songs about being free and a free logic problem, too. Even if you don't teach, download my problem and see if you can solve it; just for fun. But be careful. You might get hooked on these puzzles. I love them! First up is Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'."
Next up is Roger Daltrey singing, "I'm Free."
And finally, here's YOUR freebie from Catch My Products!
I arrived back in Memphis today after a wonderful TpT Conference in Orlando. I learned a lot and met great people, too. However, my store is now undergoing some serious revamping. Since I have a lot of work to do, here is a song to fit that theme.
First off, I changed my name from Gifted and Talented Materials by Joyce Lansky to Catch My Products. I've been wanting to change the name for a long time but was afraid I'd lose links to my items. They are secured. I also changed my photo, but I'm not totally happy with it, so it's still under construction.
I have been busy adding links from solo products to their bundles. For example, it would be great if someone bought this first day of school logic problem for $1. However, it would be better to buy a bundle of fifteen problems for $8.95. That's .25 a piece savings. I've had several customers come back and continually purchase $1 items. It's easier and cheaper to just buy a bundle.
Here's another Musical Monday work song, which fits since we went to Magic Kingdom after the conference ended. Wait an hour to see Winnie the Pooh, blink your eyes and then you're through.
My work is not done after links, either. I have to improve my product descriptions, make and download product previews with watermarks, and place products into custom categories for easy location. With 450 products, this will take me quite awhile! I also need to get going on collaboration and advertising. So it's almost Monday, and I'm back to work.
