Here is a HAPPY and a WRAPPY picture of gifts for my TAPPY little Grandaughter, MARIAH, who is six years old today! (The red polka dot gifts are for her... and the little blue one with HAPPY face balloon is for her brother, Beau, so he doesn't feel left out!) |
 |
Here is the card I crafted for Mariah! |
 |
TAPPING into some HAPPINESS 6 years ago with baby Mariah in Edmonton where she was born! Pretty proud and happy times for her Grammie D and Poppa Brian! |
 |
Mariah was so tiny at birth weighing in at 4 pounds 11 ounces ... even the preemie sized clothes were big on her! The adorable polka dot WRAP for her little baby basket was made especially by her Grandma Nancy! |
 |
Here is Mariah just yesterday showing me the tooth she lost on Monday night! She was pretty HAPPY with herself, as she pulled it out herself... so grown up! |
 |
Beau here yesterday was in a HAPPY mood, too! |
 |
I spent much of my day Tuesday WRAPPING gifts at my dance friend, Brenda's house! |
 |
Here is BRENDA in her beautiful home showing off some of my WRAPPiNESS! I WRAPPED 54 gifts to be presented at her year end show this weekend. These are for her staff and helpers. |
 |
Mariah will be TAPPING in her year end show this Saturday... this little photo was taken of her at her dance photos a couple of weeks ago at the studio! |
 |
Mariah checking out the plants we bought... flowers make her HAPPY always! |
 |
This picture is a bit blurry but is of Beau with his new basket ball hoop in their yard ... being out doors playing makes Beau very HAPPY always! |
 |
My doggie Shuffle on our deck Monday just after we planted some of the flowers! We were HAPPY we TAPPED into that project before all the rain yesterday and Tuesday. |
 |
Pansies seem to have smiling little faces on them and look HAPPY to be WRAPPED up in these HAPPY little polka dot pots! I got these pots last summer, but they still make me HAPPY, too! |

Brian and I TAPPED into some "PURE" HAPPINESS on Monday while out in Willow Grove to get our plants and see the grandkids! Today is my grand daughter, Mariah's 6th Birthday!It seems like only yesterday we were driving to Edmonton to meet her for the first time... where does the time go? My saying on one of my little quote calendars said this yesterday... "When a child is born, so are grandmothers." -Judith Levy How true that statement is. I can honestly say this "GRANDMOTHER" chapter of my life has been the best one ever for me... I have been all WRAPPED up in HAPPiNESS and TAPPiNESS with both of my grandkids! This week has not only been a busy lead up to Mariah's 6th Birthday... but to the year end shows for BSOBAD as well. Those take place this Saturday, at TCU in both the afternoon and evening! I have traditionally helped Brenda, studio owner and director of BSOBAD, for the past DECADE! I actually TAPPED into helping one year previous to WRAP her year end gifts for her, and have been WRAPPING those up for her every year since! I was the TAP director there when our studios merged in 2002 and taught till the completion of 2008. Then I continued to TAP into office work there, and am still considered on staff. So between my commitment to the BSOBAD studio and to my family and to my grandkids, I am always TAPPING into fun that keeps me all WRAPPED up in HAPPiNESS! We will help Mariah celebrate her birthday over cupcakes with both sets of her GRANDPARENTS tomorrow and she will have a little birthday party on sunday with her friends, too. I talked to Mariah today and she told me how grown up she feels! I enjoyed the finales of some of my much watched TV shows this week. The winners were picked on DWTS and on American Idol. Tonight I TAP into a couple of new reality talent TV shows... "So You Think You Can Dance " and "DUETS" ... and the beat goes on! Today's poem is the one I wrote for Mariah's Birthday card! Today you are the BiRTHDAY GiRL... I love to see you dance and twirl! You are turning a great big SiX! I know you can do so many tricks. You can print a lot of names... And you can also play some games. You like your "Bugs'n'Cheese" a lot, You also eat skittles... each colored dot! And you can shuffle and cartwheel, too, In fact there's so much you can do. You are growing up so fast, So try to make the memories last, Because you are my dear "sweet pea", You just mean the world to me... Birthdays are when you shout Hooray, But YOU are special everyday! |
