September 2015 - Performances!

"See You in September!"

I always liked that song!  It's already mid-September, and I have a performance coming up this weekend.  I decided it is time to drop in and say "hello" for a second. 

My performance requests are taking me all over the place, from Winston-Salem to Pinehurst.  I am really getting to see some parts of North Carolina I was previously unfamiliar with.  We have a beautiful state.

  Last week, I volunteered with my daughter's (Amber's) organization, Activate Good for 911 Day of Service.  True to my nature, I included myself in creative activities.  In the morning, I assisted as a co-project manager assisting middle school students and some adults putting together A B C books for young readers for an organization promoting literacy.  Everyone was very intent on doing a good job, with resulting beautiful and interesting letter/word/object picture pages.  Perhaps some photos will be posted at ActivateGood.org soon.  Next, a friend and I went to the Scrap Exchange in Durham to sort and organize some scrap donations.  Since the Scrap Exchange promotes, encourages, and teaches "upcycling", we got some great ideas for new creative projects using recyclable goods, while doing some good old-fashioned cleaning up.  To top the day off, we attended the commemoration in the evening at Red Hat Amphitheater, where there were 3 different music groups, snacks, lots of people, and service projects on site.  I plunked myself at a table where there were supplies to make cards for sick children, and spent the night doodling.  I even adopted a little girl on site (Bristol - age 5?), who took to me like she was my own, and we doodled and collaborated on color and design throughout the evening until her parents retrieved her.  She shared some very interesting conversation in addition to her charming artistic talents.

Read what's going on for the rest of the month!

Grandma Paula
Music & Creative Play for Kids

Grandma Paula is resting this Fall while entity Paula C Snyder beefs up her senior & healthcare performances.  You will see more of Grandma Paula next Spring (and maybe a little of her persona at public performances until then.)

"Meet Cookie (the dog)" illustrated song (picture book with audio CD - book narration & song by Grandma Paula and illustrations by Mac McCord) is available at public performances, on the website, and on Amazon (without the CD).  Storyteller's Bookstore in Wake Forest recently changed hands.  The new owners call this lovely, refreshing store "PAGE 158 BOOKS".  Page 158 Books also continues to carry both versions of "Meet Cookie (the dog)".  Connect with them & Like their Facebook Page!

Honor your babies, children, parents, grandparents, (and furry friends) with a copy of the book.  Always a great gift for birthdays, holidays, and just because! 

Visit Cookie and "Like" her on Facebook.  She also has a Twitter Handle, and Pinterest Board!  Grandma Paula is on Pinterest too.  Come follow us!
