STICK to HAPPiNESS!

Jana and me on Christmas 2009
note sign behind...
"SEEK HAPPINESS"

My OTT Sticker colletion
to take to competitions...
(and I have 4 more binders in my basement)

Jana and Me in a duo from 1988
called "BOSOM BUDDIES"
Jana was only 7 then...
(but we will always be Bosom Buddies)

We did our last Tap duo together in
1998 to a song called
"THAT FACE"
... and I will always LOVE that face of her's!
She also did a tribute to me at my 99 recital
in the upper left corner,
and kicked it up a notch to "SO and SO"
in the bottom right!
She wore that costume for a solo called
"IMPOSSIBLE DREAM"
as well!

It doesn't matter where you go,
it's who's beside you that counts.

and you believe in your dreams,

Today my daughter Jana and I will be an adjudicating team for the first time together. We have both judged before... but never together... so it will be a new chapter for both of us. I know it means a lot to me, and will once again bring me a huge sense of pride and happiness to see Jana in this next level of her dancing. 

I am an "over the top" high maintenance adjudicator, though... hehehe... 

It has always been a sort of trademark of mine to have stickers and lots of them, so my collection continues to grow! When I first started adjudicating I took a little envelope of them, but now I have a fill blown zippered binder system!

 I take a lot of stickers, because for me they provide happiness! I like to try to match the color and or costume theme of the dances where ever possible... so I take a huge selection. I will continue to use stickers...and 

STiCK TO HAPPiNESS!

Search for ways to compliment the deserving; seek to encourage those who are trying;

give assurance to those who are doubting...

STICKERS bring me HAPPiNESS!

This weekend while I am watching some jazz and some  tappiness...

I'll get out my stickers...

 to bring on some happiness!

I know I'll enjoy the time I can bond...

With my dear sweet daughter, 

of whom I'm so fond!
