You Make My Day!

I have recieved the "You Make My Day" Award from my super talented artist friend Gaia! She works in different media and makes the most AMAZING miniatures, CREATIVE artist bears, and BEAUTIFUL illustrations. Visit I Piccolini, her work is a must see! I am happy that she thought of me for this award and she has in turn Made My Day! Now I get to pass on this Award to 5 people:

Jenny - Three O'Clock Bears
Aleta - The Silly Bear
Lisa - Q.D. Patooties
Louise - Louise Peers Studio
Samantha - Mary Myrtle Miniatures

"You make my day-Award" works like this:
1. Write a post with links to 5 blogs that make me think and/or make my day.
2. Acknowledge the post of the award giver.
3. Display the "You Make my Day Award" logo with a link to the post that I wrote. (Optional)
4. Tell the award winners that they have won by commenting on their blogs with the news.

Tiny Dancer

For my Daughter's 3rd birthday we signed her up for dance lessons. She loves her dance classes so much. Unfortunately its only one day a week, so she spends the other 6 days continually asking me when her next class is, lol. During class time they have a curtain covering the dance studio windows so the kids are not distracted by parents or others during lessons. I have to admit, I keep moving the curtain ever so slightly so I can peek at her.... I can't seem to help myself... it is such a joy to watch her dance. Now I take my needle felting with me. This keeps me from sticking my head behind the curtain too often (which I'm sure is a relief to the instructors) and I get some work done.....
