Sweet Memories

If you have a little girl chances are you sent her to ballet classes. I'm sure some of you sent your girl to softball, volleyball, gymnastics or even chess classes and I hope they loved it. It's about your kid having fun. That's all I care about but since this stamp is a ballerina it's taking me down the nostalgia trail. When my darling daughter was a little girl I took her to the dance classes the town ran. At the end of the year they had a recital. We were asked to get a pink nightgown for our girls to wear as their costumes. This stamped image so reminds me of this event. The dance number was supposed to be a dream sequence, hence the nightgowns. We were also asked to have them bring a teddy bear or stuff animal. Liddy wanted to bring her stuffed bunny and this stamp set comes with a dancing bunny, all the more to remind me of her first recital. The big night came, hubby and I and my sister-in-law Tako were in the audience anxiously awaiting our little angel and finally her number came and she and all the girls were so darling and THEN, the girls were supposed to hold the animals in their arms like they were dancing with them and twirl in a circle with them and that's when Liddy put the bunny in her mouth and whipped around in a circle and Tako and I were almost on the floor we were laughing so hard, I had tears in my eyes and I nearly wet my pants.
