Originally uploaded by Shopping Diva.

I finished all my 2005 Scrapping!!! Or at least I think I have until a mystery photo appears from no where. So now I can concentrate back on to 2006. I don't like to be more than a year behind in my scrapping, so now I can continue to scrap the pictures I want to in any order.

Gemma's Jazz Dance


Gemma's Jazz Dance
Originally uploaded by Shopping Diva.

We had a very busy day today. First we went to the IATSE 873 Children's Christmas Party. They had bouncing playgrounds for all ages, hamburgers and hotdogs, popcorn, cotton candy, face painting, cookie decorating, crafts galore, story telling, a magician, and of course Santa Claus and a gift for every child.

From there we headed to Brampton so Gemma could join Grandma Giles and her cousin Hayley to go and see Cinderella - the play. All 3 of them had a great time.

Then back in the car to go to Trinity Bellwoods Community Centre for their Holiday Showcase. Gemma performed her Jazz dance by herself (watching her teacher do the moves) in front of a bunch of strangers and she was amazing. No stage fright on her part. We have the DVD version if anyone is interested.

And then home for everyone to crash.

I WON THE SPLITS COMPETITION!!!

Today at Gemma's Gymnastics class they had a little Christmas party, and to add to the fun they had a competition for the parents. We had to do a front roll, a cart wheel and the splits. So earlier in the day I thought I would practice and once I realised how good I was I thought this was my competition to lose. And lose I did not! I won the splits competition hands down!!! Woohoo!!

A Ballerina in the Making

This is Gemma doing a performance for us today at her ballet class.

Gemma has come a long way in her dancing. She now extends her legs, points her toes and shows a true emotion. She has the natural grace to be a dancer.

I used the Bohemia Christmas papers for this LO. The ribbon is from Maya Road, and the flower and metal embellishments are from Imaginisce.

The picture was taken last week when we went to visit Santa at the Bay on Queen St., after the parade.
