Dancing Queen & Drapes

This past Sunday was Gabby's fourth dance recital. She did such an awesome job!!! We were so proud of her!!! She even won an award for Most Improved Dancer! This was her first year to really be displaying showmanship, smiling and well...putting on a show!!
Doesn't she look like a porcelain ballerina? The kind you would put on a shelf in your room?





She was so surprised to win an award. I had to keep it a secret longer than I almost could. But, somehow managed to hold it in until award time.




And, the grandparents had to show their support!!!

In other news, I made a new addition to my breakfast nook...CURTAINS!!! I have been obsessing (Chad was getting sick and tired of me heading out to Joann's and Hobby Lobby every Saturday) about putting curtains in my kitchen. I finally researched a tutorial online at Nester's and found a ridiculously easy curtain to make. I have yet to stitch one stitch on these, however I do plan on hemming and lining them when I get a chance. But for now they provide so much warmth to my entire kitchen and den. I just love them.

Well, I already talked to you about your post, but I think these pics are adorable! I am so proud of Gabby (and please tell her so). Also, your curtains look nice; however, maybe you should have moved the plastic bags off of the table in the last pic (ha) ;).

I think calling Gabby a 'Dancing Queen' is an understatement!

Andrea, I love the curtains!! I love seeing little snippets of your new house in the photos. Your mom is so awesome at creating a lovely, welcoming environment in her homes - I think you have the same gift!! :)
