Hello my Cookie friends,
WOW! It's the word for my last several weeks. It's been too cold and Why won't this snow melt??? There is just so much snow with even more on the way.
Anyway, cookie baking might be on hold until spring which isn't a bad thing because this girl has been crazy busy preparing for my first dance competition. I've been busy with dress rehearsals, privates lessons with my AMAZING Choreographers, getting into character, last minute costume design changes and alterations, our annual Competition Cotillion is tomorrow, and next weekend my first regional competition of the season. It's been so fun getting ready but the time just raced so fast.
Here is a sneak peek of three costumes for 3 of my 10 Competition dances for this season.
The Waitress, for which I'll be dancing to, "She Use To Be Mine" by: Sara Bareilles
Sway, this ten inch brimmed hat is EVERYTHING!! I'll be dancing to "Sway" written by: Pablo Beltrán Ruiz originally written in Spanish and reworked by Norman Gimbel in English.
And I'm BEETLEJUICE!!! For which I'll be dancing to. "That Beautiful Sound" from the Broadway production of Beetlejuice.
As diverse as imaginable, these dances bring me so much joy to perform and I can't wait to share videos with all of you after my performances!
Now, I'd like to take time to thank ALL of you. Your cookie purchases have helped me pay for a lot of my dance tuition and choreography fees, you all have kept me going with my dance dreams and baking dreams. While I've said it before, it's worth saying again... it takes a Village and I'm so thankful and thrilled to have all of you as part of my village. I really can't thank you all enough for the amazing support you've shown me.
With all my thanks and love,
Hunter Addison
P.S. Can't wait for warmer weather so I can open my little pop-up bakery again, I miss all of you and our conversations.
P.P.S. isn't my 'Lydia' adorable?!?! I've been blessed to partner with this beautiful dancer for 3 years now.
