Beanfield Boogie Crispilious Dance

Princess Emma fell in love with the Beanfields Chips that I reviewed. 

She wanted a bag of her own even. 

So she was willing to do the Beanfield Boogie Crispilious Dance. 

What would you do to get a bag of Beanfields?

You can read about these great chips at Amazing Chips and Found the Perfect Chip.

Passion for Princess Emma

I told you yesterday I am up for blogger of the month over at Giveaway Blogs. It is a poll thingy that you vote on one of three. I am Lenore Webb (yeah, my real name) there if you wish to add your vote...well for me that is.
Well they are sponsored by UPrinting, the online printing company that has sponsored so many of my giveaways here. They have been so nice to me, honestly.....don't even pay me for that one. But they have opened up to so many other things. And here is a newest one.
I have a chance to win $100 and a 16x20 rolled canvas from GiveawayBlogs.com and UPrinting.com. They are having a photo contest with the theme of Passion. I was thinking of my passions. The first that popped into my head was Dancing. I love Dancing. But then family is also a major passion of mine. If you could just see my walls covered in generations of family photos. And then it occurred to me that I could have both for my passion. HOW?
Well you hear me talk all the time of Princess Emma. That is College Girls lil sister (actually half sister but we never think that way). Isn't she a beautiful Princess?
I just love her expressive face. And her love of fashion. Emma is always playing dress up here, at home and heck even in the stores. Look how well she can pull off this hat!

Well, Princess Emma adores dancing. She has given us some of the best ballets I have ever been too and right here in our own home. One day she danced her most expressive ballet all to the theme music of a TV show playing. We all had to clap and cheer for her.
Of course she can get her dance moves in. Here we think of her as being Ninja Emma. But actually she was getting her dance into the groove.
I think it is the joy on her face that gets me so. And of course knowing that she is showing us how her heart is so happy. You just have to smile when you see her dancing. Well since this post is an entry to the GiveawayBlogs.com photo contest. I have decided that if I win, I would have the following photo of Princess Emma be the 16x20 rolled canvas print.  I did not take this photo but a great friend of mine did.  Jayde has some beautiful art work and shares it over on her Shutterfly gallery.  I am so lucky to have this photo of Princess Emma done by Jayde.  I know that if I win the rolled canvas print would go to Princess Emma's parents as a gift.
What do you think? Or is one of the others your favorite? What would be your passion? And how would I spend that $100? Bills or Food?

I love shoes! Do you?

I share my love of shoes with my mom and my CG.
We have so many--honest!
I have over 40 pairs of shoes! My CG is about the same. And my MOM!!!!
OMG--she has at least (and no kidding) 80 pairs of shoes. (Let's not get into purses.)

So your not going to be surprised that I was thrilled to go looking online for dance shoes. CG was looking for the costume department for some affordable ones. Now most girls will provide their own. But if your going for a uniform look then you have to supply them. Thank goodness they did not need to find shoes for all the people in West Side Story.

As I was perusing through sites, I was ooohhhhhing and aaaahhhhing at so many. I swear I drool. If you think this is odd then let's not talk about vintage dishes. So what is your passion? Or is that indulgence.

I think I need some Dance Shoes too!
You should know there is always time to dance!

There is always time to dance!

Well I am not sure if this is the end of the week or the beginning of the week?
Sunday
A full day to say the least. I did sleep in til after 8 am again. Whoo hooo two days in a row. But had an early call that my ex sis in law was not going to make it through the day. I am so sorry for her daughters and mother. I know she has hurt for some time and now that ends. I remember some really good times with her growing up. She always treated me well. What is better than that?
I made 6 pizzas and took them to my great niece's 1st birthday party. And carried my daughter's sister who is 2 to the party too. Yes my daughter's sister but not my child nor step child. She had a grand time discovering that swinging is not really scary at all but great fun. And was delighted to see my sister made a birthday cake just for me. One without icing. How sweet of her to think of me that way.
My daughter's puppy is ill though. Poor thing "puked" through out the night and most of the day. I have gotten him some pepto bismal and pedialite. I have used this on previous dogs who where ill and had good results. I am hoping to stop the upset tummy and runs so he stops losing weight. And to keep his fluids and electrolites up.
Other than that? Well cooked, did dishes, cleaned up after people and animals but took time to see a movie. So was good in that manner.
My darling hubby has been sleeping the majority of the day. But with him working 75 hours this week and taking his interferon treatment last night after 1 am. What can I expect. Poor man working so hard to get so little. Works a 40 hr job to bring home right at $100 a week after taxes, child support and insurance. Has to work a second job of 20+ hours just to get a little more. Does not leave him much free time at all.
Still not sure what we are going to do about daughter's car? Hope to talk to neighbor tomorrow to see if he can help us? Pray for that one!
Otherwise. Well, life. It is what it is. Good, bad and ugly...or better yet, it is what we make of it. And as I always say----There is always time to dance.

Just a swinging'

As I said I live in a little town in central Texas. This last Saturday night our local VFD and ladies aux sponsored a street dance on our town square. It was fun to take a twirl across the town and to tap our toes to a little country fun. Sunday was a day of rest, well was suppose to be. Instead we had a pipe break in one of our bathrooms and the place was baptized. So half a day of trying to stop that. As usual we could not get the parts we needed in this small town so we have a gaping hole in the wall of our bathroom. And the pipes are cut off so we can not bath in that room. Funny enough the door handle came off in that same bathroom this morning and locked my poor hubby inside. I was out walking the dogs and he was inside banging and trying to get out. Well it is always something you know. Yesterday was my 2nd wedding anniversary too. My hubby is still working two jobs so we did not get to go out, but I made a good dinner and a nice hot cake that we bathed in butter for dessert. So life here is doing the usual. Nice to know I can sit on my veranda (porch for others) and enjoy the breeze blowing through the wind chimes. I hope you have time to do the same there!
