Nutcracker - Ballet Arizona at the Symphony Hall

Last night I took my little ballerina E to see the Nutcracker for the first time.

First we parked, and on the elevator down to street level, we met one of the dancers who played an angel and a soldier. That was cool. Then we went out to eat at Steve's Grill about a block from the Symphony Hall. It was actually really yummy and they had the skinniest fries I have ever seen. It was cozy and relaxing. It was raining a bit while we were in the restaurant, but when we left it was just barely misty. YAY!

In the symphony hall, we got our picture taken with a Sugar Plum fairy -- I asked E if she wanted it to be just her, but she insisted I be in the picture as well.

Then the show began. We had great seats - row 11. It was magical. E sat the first half on my lap because she was leaning back and forth a lot and I wanted to make sure she could see. Then at intermission we got her a booster so she could use her own seat. The show went by super fast. The music was fantastic and the ballet was beautiful!

Me and my little girlie

E fell asleep on the way home in the car, a sure sign she had a great time *smiles*

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).
