Thanks!
127 Kelli October 20, 2009 at 10:18 am: Ooh, ooh, ooh! My daughter takes a combo class of ballet/tap/jazz for 5 year olds and her favorite part is ballet. (I think she may be the only one who prefers the strict tone of ballet over the fun tap and jazz part!!) So I would have the book inscribed to read “To Emma, dance to your own music and find true happiness.” But, I’d love the soap and other gifties too! Emma also has eczema and we can only use very natural things on her sensitive skin. So either gift–I’m a winner..but only if you choose me!!!!
128 Linda October 20, 2009 at 11:35 am: I would love this for my niece. Plese inscribe: Sophie, remember to dance like no one is watching.
