Pictures of Ballet Recital





Ballet Recital~ Saturday, June 7th, 2009

We really enjoyed Melina & Krisztina's ballet recital on Saturday!



Our family proudly watched as our ballerinas danced to the song, "When You Wish Upon a Star"

The girls got their hair done right before the rehearsal ( thank you Colleen!) and had the practice then we came back to the recital~ Everyone did so good~ What talented young girls... and a few young boys too! ( the boys did a Hip Hop style dance)



Here a just a few of the pictures we took this weekend!



Enjoy!

It's Been Awhile

It's been a while since I have Blogged but here goes~~

Our family has been slowly, very slowly, getting over our sickness and I think that we are back to our pre-sickness form.

Our son, Edddie has turned 21!! Happy Birthday Bud!!

I wish him all the blessings as he makes his way through life. He lives Back in Ohio an and am sad that I didn't get to see him on his birthdy. I miss him terribly... :(

Krissy and Leeni have been getting ready for their ballet recital~ they really love to ballet and it is so cute watching them. Today they recieved their recital tutu's and the girls will look like little princess'. We are planning to have a big cookout with family and friends after the recital to celebrate.

well, til next time~

I am really excited about sharing Bead For Life with you!
I cannot remember how I first learned of Bead For Life and the colorful, paper beads the women of Uganda make by hand. Bead For Life employs poor, Ugandan women and puts them to work by making and selling these fanastic beads.

I feel very honored to be able to help these women by purchasing their beads, which helps them and their families end the circle of poverty. So for this reason, I wear the beads proudly.

Want to learn more about Bead for Life and how you can help?
www.beadforlife.org

Would you like me to design something for you using these paper beads?? Please contact me at: dawnsabo2604@yahoo.com

God Bless!






Sick, Sick, Sickness Go Away!!!

This has been just a rough couple months for my family. We have all suffered through an endless stream of flu, viral infections (in which our Leeni ended up in a hospital stay at Children's Hospital) and now we suffer with bad colds and coughs! When will it end?? Not soon enough for us!!

Here is a picture of our girls enjoying kite flying before the sickness came! We had fun that day with the neighbors running home to get their kites to fly!!

Leeni's Home & Spring is Coming


My beautiful little daughter who has been so sick and had ended up int he hospital hooked up to an IV, is home and on her way back to a full recovery!!  And boy is she full of energy!!!

Now that my Leeni is feeling better, I can get back on track with my jewelry and add a few new things to my shop.I have been getting a few more orders, which excites me greatly and encourages me to create more new designs. I am looking forward to  creating a spring line with bright colors, new patterns and cool unique beads! I love spring and hope my customers will too!

Any day your child is sick is a difficult day~

Leeni (Melina) woke up in the middle of the night with a fever and in the morning, Leeni was burning up wit ha high fever around 103. I waited til noon to see if it would go away, but sadly,I took her to the doctor.
As I drive her to the doctor, she sits quietly and no one talks as we drive the long two miles to the office. (Please remind me someday of how good it is to hear two five year old girls giggling and chatting way to loud in the backseat!)

We get to the docs office and we find that Leeni has a bad infection in her throat and ears that is causing the fever and vomiting~ We leave on the way to the store for some meds to cheer up a sick Leeni~

I pray that our little Leeni will wake up tomorrow her old self~ Pray for sick children everywhere~

On a much lighter note, I have been designing something special for a fellow "Estian"~ (Hi Reeze!) I have completed it and want to proudly show it off~ She liked it so much as well as the bracelet and earrings I made to match! I love the bright colors and the look of spring and summer~What fun it will be for her to wear it!!!
