"I recently completed my first project: a book for my daughter.
Laura’s been dancing since she was three, and this year she is headed off to a university to major in dance. So I made her a book to remember all her dance years before the university.
I totaled up all the dances she’s been part of and there were over 100! That meant I had about that many pictures for her book. I also included the dance camps and workshops and the people along the way who have helped her reach her goals. And I found quotes online about dance and added them throughout the book. At the end, I included blank pages for autographs and well wishes for her future.
Now she won’t have to go scrambling through pictures to remember that special group number that was so much fun, or the duets and dance partners, or the solo she danced for her dad. Everything is all right there in her book. I’m happy to say she has her book perched on the bookcase in her dorm room where she sees it all the time."
Thanks, Sue, for that wonderful story of inspiration!!
