This is the second season I have followed
So You Think You Can Dance. Last night was the season finale and I
have to say the results were surprising. Good… but surprising.
Out of the top 4 I thought Brandon had it in the bag.
I didn”t see the obsession with Kayla… she’s beautiful and a
great dancer but I could multi-task out of boredom during
all of her dances where I couldn’t with Janet, Randy and Jeanine
(but not until after Jeanine lost her long time partner Phillip was
I impressed with her amazing skills – you were so right on Casey!)
I’m never a part of America’s Votes, I have this thing
where I believe in situations like hers if it was meant to happen, it will happen
and who am I to mess with cosmic forces.
Some of my favorite dances of the season…
(can you tell I was a Janet fan?!)

And my… “What were you thinking dances???”

Congrats Jeanine!

I needed a gift for a neighborhood friend of the boys
so I whipped up this Crayon Roll…


Without any planning I found this dress for her and it matched perfectly.
I wish I took a picture of it wrapped. I bundled the two in tissue,
put them in a cellophane bag, secured the ends with ribbons tied in bows
and snipped the other end of the bag to make it look like a big piece of candy.

.25¢ for a box of crayons (back to school sale at WalMart),
.96¢ a fat quarter this weekend at Joanns and 17 little one’s on our Christmas list,
I’ll be sewing plenty of these over the next few months.
I’ll be back to post a tutorial and a pic of my preferred wrap job.
I want to give a great big hug to Deborah for honoring me with
The Circle of Friends Award! Thanks Deborah!

I initially met Deborah ‘virtually’ via the Cricut message board…
Deborah has hosted her share of Swarms which is where we ended up
meeting in person. (it’s my opinion she has perfected the art of
crop-hostrestry… not really a word but you know what I mean…)
Anyway, Deborah and I have done a little online shopping together
and she has graciously opened her home for me to come and
craft with her.
Check out her little corner of the WWW. She’s a Copic/Anya girl and creates
beautiful cards so hop on over and check them out…
I made this clickable banner showcasing her site. Hope she doesn’t mind.
