Dance With Me Academy

Saturday was the Dance With Me Academy's dance recital. "Miss" Stephanie did such a wonderful job. I was so exhausted by the end of the day from just having two girls participate, I wonder how Stephanie felt with however many students she has in her six classes plus being in charge of the whole thing. She put the picture I made for her on the program...very cute if I do say so myself.

Does this picture help you imagine how difficult it was for me to put make up on this kid?

Isabel is in the oldest class and they did a cute sassy tap number.

Joey gave his girls tulips for doing such a great job!

Jewish Fairy Tale Feasts

Almost a couple of years ago I emailed a publisher complimenting a book I really liked that they had published (Fairy Tale Feasts by Jane Yolen, Philippe Beha and Heidi  E. Y. Stemple.)   She replied to me, then passed my email along to the authors and illustrator.  The other day I received an email from Heidi E. Y. Stemple.  She created the recipes for the book. Hello Sabrina--

A long time ago you wrote to Interlink books to compliment my book Fairy Tale Feasts.

You said you hoped there was another book like it.  I came upon your email in my inbox today while cleaning out the (oops) 374 saved emails and I thought I should write to tell you that we are, right now, working on a Jewish Fairy Tale Feasts.

It will take a couple years to come out (I'm just working on the recipes) but, it will eventually show up at a bookstore near you.

Back to the kitchen!

Heidi Stemple

Maybe she was just trying to advertise the new book, but still, I think it was very nice of her to email me!

Do you see the similarities! Also, they have the same quotes, "Look what I can do!" and "Doooooon't!" (with the leg push.)
