Teen Dancer

Today is our Sweet Gracie's 13th birthday!
I hope you have enjoyed my 13 week countdown watching Gracie grow up.
I can hardly believe that Gracie is a teenager.
Although our first two children, Julie and Jeff, are only 2 years apart, they had a large year spread between having children so we have many years to wait until Sawyer celebrates his 13th birthday (9 to be exact).
Here is how we celebrated Gracie's birthday...
Gramps and I let the kids choose the restaurant that they want to go to
This year Gracie chose Panera - YUM!!

 She received $13.00 (because she is 13) and I bought her favorite Nothing Bundt Cake White Chocolate Raspberry!!

On the way home we stopped to check out where my sister is building a new house when I realized I didn't get a picture of Gracie with her money and cake.

Gracie is our dancer so this is the card that I made for her inspired by Kelly Kent.  I did not make Gracie's card a spinner card, but just attached the ballet girl directly to the front of the card.  However if you want to make one as a spinner card you can see what Kelly did if you follow the link to her blog.
You have until 5pm tomorrow to get in on my October special...
My drawing for October is...
MAKING EVERY DAY BRIGHT Photopolymer Stamp Set

And the CHRISTMAS BULB BUILDER PUNCH

There is so much more to this stamp set than just Christmas. Can you see the cute little bunny, and one that looks like bunny ears? So cute for Spring, along with the flowers. Then there are pinecones, feathers, spider webs and so much creativity!

HERE ARE THE DETAILS for the monthly drawing special:

1. For every $50 ONLINE order (before shipping and tax) you get your name in the drawing.

2. This cannot be in combination with placing an order for a free class, sorry. 

3. The drawing will take place on Tuesday, October 30th (because I am leaving for Florida on the 31st for ONSTAGE)

That's it! So now - please - go place your online order!!

October also brings a new Stampin' Up! year and time to start earning the next incentive trip. I have yet to earn one of these and I am super geeked to give it a try again this year. The 2020 incentive trip will be in Maui and I most definitely want to go with all my Stampin' Up! friends.

Each month you will see incentives for sales from me so that I can earn this amazing opportunity. Won't you partner with me to work toward this goal!!

Christmas Ballerina

Our Grand daughter, Gracie, has started Ballet classes and it was so

fun to go to her first Ballet Recital.


She was a bit shy but she got into it and did a great job.

I just HAD to make a card for Gracie to show her how proud we are of her


This idea was copied from Jackie Topa's blog

Thanks For Stopping By!

Have a Blessed Day!!
