First Day of Ballet Class

Today my sweet little girl went to her first ever ballet class. This was BIG for her because she is like NEVER away from me. She is starting homeschooling this year and has never gone to a preschool, so she is mommy's little baby. She was really stressed about it because I told her she needed to listen to her teacher and not talk to her classmates during class (she is usually a little chatterbox). Anyway, when I told her this, she was in tears thinking it would be impossible (tears is mild, it was more like a major hormonal meltdown, heaven help me when she is a teen), but she came out of the classroom door at the end of class happy and gave me a hug and said can I come again next week? YAY!

Here are some pictures we took of the little ballerina right after I got her dressed for class: (Note, all poses were created by E all by herself from watching her Bella Dancerella DVD).

Aaawww, bless her little heart!! I so remember those days ... I started dancing when I was 3 and my sister was 4. We took lessons for 13 years then went on with our lives only to pick it up again in our 40s and actually took a 1st place in Show Stoppers! Your little ballerina is ADORABLE!! Enjoy these days...they go by so quickly!!

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).

A good mail day

Yesterday was an awesome mail day! I got my swaps from Jody (texasjodylynn). Let me explain, each month, Jody and I swap three things -- cards, 3D objects (usually), and sometimes goodies we find that we think the other person might like. We have done this for about 6 months I think. Well yesterday I got the most amazing Jody package. Here are a few pictures of the stuff inside. The chocolate box was made with designer paper and said "You make life sweet" on top and inside there were some yummy dove chocolates. Seriously, dark chocolate is the BEST! Next I found this most gorgeous purse with some treasures inside it. Some gems and some princess brads, and a harry potter bookmark. The purse itself is amazing. I asked Jody how she did it and she said with chalk and craft inks and lots of embossing powder. It just shines. It is just so amazing. She put in so many brads and she said she even had to use a drill on it. Amazing! I avoid scary tools like drills wher...
