"When the felicities of rapid motion have once been, though slightly, felt -- it must be a very heavy set that does not ask for more.” (Emma)

Melanie's recital was last Saturday (could it already have been a full week??). It was BEYOND adorable and SO very worth all the hard work on both sides! From watching the bigger girls dancing she decided she wanted to add acrobatics to her repertoire, so now she's taking ballet, tap, flamenco, AND acrobatics... I'm just psyched she's finally liking it. We tried enrolling her when she was almost three and she cried the whole time! :)

My mojo returned for one sole page using recital pictures...

AND I finally got to play with some Rock Candy... This jury is still out. :) I think I like Crackle Accents better, but for the "sweet" theme of this page, I think the concept works...



Hmmm... Here are a few other pages that have recently appeared on Design Dollies

(Webster's Pages just ASK to be cut up, don't you think?) :)

Have you checked out the Dollies yet??

It's official... our weekly challenges have begun. In addition to the lovely blog candy available just for checking us out, we have weekly challenges in three categories: 1) Colors (Mondays); 2) Elements (Tuesdays); and 3) Sketches (Thursdays). Individual prizes are given out monthly per category, so there's a chance to win three different prizes... Come check us out if you haven't been over there yet! :) And happy scrappin! (If only I could join you today!!)

(Oh, here are two of my "creations" as featured on DD as well!!) :)

World Card Day Yesterday

Who woulda thunk there'd be a WORLD card day? And who woulda thunk I'd actually get crafty with it? :) I made quite a few cards, some for Design Dollies so those will be posted in time, BUT here are a few that do not have an upcoming reveal date, lol! :)

I have missed my online friends and blogging family so much this past month... now that it's October things will be in full swing until after the middle of the month when I can hopefully identify what my new "normal" is! :) Stay tuned...
