I own and rock people’s faces off teaching ballroom dancing at Dancers Studio in St. Paul, MN. My husband and I compete professionally in American style and wrangle eight children in our spare time. I’ve been teaching and competing in ballroom dancing for over 25 years and have lots of opinions on it. I am an expert by any means, but there are quite a few dancers who are better than me and I have a solid knowledge of basic technique, so suck it.

Holiday Cheer : Day 20

Day 20 : decorate "trees".

Confession: I am a holiday bargain hunter.  I pick out the majority of my birthday/summertime/Christmas/Easter goodies and then wait until after the holiday to pick them up for 90% off.  

All my twinkle lights? $1.94.  Score.

Last year, I snatched some little kid craft kits for 70 cents and  I AM THE SMARTEST.

We've been doing a lot of cosmetic work on our soon-to-be dance studio, so it's been a handful to MAKE CHRISTMAS MEMORIES and PAINT ALL THE THINGS.  But I unfurled this neat kit with foam pieces and they were happily making fancy trees for hours.

Strangely, Zoo was most amused by them.  She enjoyed taking the paper off the sticky backing for the smallest pieces.
