No more friend!!! :(

Ok, so I don't know how many of you have heard about my constant friend over the last several months, but *sniffs* he finally died. :( I guess the torture of being jarred and banged around finally took its toll. So, what I'm trying to say....I GOT A NEW MUFFLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No more hearing it bang around under my car when I'm driving down the road, no more hearing it rattle when I start the car in the morning. I am ecstatic!!!!!!!!!!!!

So here's my old muffler, still connected.
If some of you don't know what a muffler is, just follow the exhaust pipe and you'll see it.

Daddy taking his SawzAll to it.

Not sure how many of you, if any, have ever looked inside the tube of a muffler.
Well, it's not supposed to have those big rust holes in it like mine did.
All the metal that rusted off is what was making the loverly rattling when I drove. 

Shiny, brand new, beautiful muffler!!!

No more sounds. Bliss!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's funny, Mommy just pointed out that my profile says that this blog will be a window into a dancers life. Yeah well this is this dancers life, complete with cars, prom, horses and whatever else I've blogged about. Hope you guys are still enjoying it!!!

Prom '11

So Brooke at the florist in town asked me to come in and help her with prom orders last Friday. I complied because I LOVE making boutonnieres and most of the time the kids are happy with them. We do get the occasional complaint that the flower looks dead but they wanted it spray-painted brown so what do they expect?? But we do get some special orders that are fun to make. Here are some pics of what Brooke and I did. She made the wristlets and I did the boutonnieres. :D

We tipped these guys to make them purple

This one was fun to make!!

I wish I got to wear this one

Gerbs are such happy flowers!!

This one was my favorite to make

Brooke was having quite a time figuring out how to make this one work

A lot of the kids wanted feathers this year, it must be the 'thing'

Modeling this one was cool.
The girl who wore this one had a leopard dress,
so Brooke  didn't use a wristlet band, she used wire to attach it to her arm.
You can see the front wire on my hand.
