Dance+Flowers+Friends

Friends, it's been an eventful month or so of dance!

 Within the past 6 weeks my girlies have competed in two competitions and had their recital.

 Sadly, it all concluded with goodbyes.

The only comfort through this were love-ya gifts.

 

Little bit of background info: the senior performance company was paired with the junior performance company in Big Sis/Little Sis format.

Since there are more juniors than seniors...one of my daughters has three littles and my other daughter has two. 

Count 'em...FIVE littles to look for.

 I looked HIGH & LOW for dance-related gifts for my girlies to give their little sisters.

After failing miserably...I dug around my craft room and found these dance embellishments (which I spray painted lime to match the leaves on bright patterned paper).

 

 

Know that the dance embellishments, little frames...even the spraypaint...

 were for separate "didn't get done" projects that saved me when I needed it!!!!

 The old Marlena was looking out for the now Marlena~

who says hoarding doesn't pay off now and again.

😆

I created tags to match, with second-hand ballet stamps I found forever ago.
