Kelli from Kelli's House hosts Show and Tell Friday. If you have something special to share, this is the place to show it. It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, or a treasured collection. Go to her place to join in the fun!Allow me to introduce you to Brittany, my granddaughter. Her proud Dad, our son, took this picture.
Brittany is a senior at Cypress Bay High School and quite active in voice and drama. She's President of the drama club. She has an amazing stage presence and can hit some awesome notes.
Although I'm a proud Grandma, this is not just my opinion. Now, she has proof that it's not just her family cheering her on. She recently competed in a county-wide competition and received straight SUPERIORS--the highest rating--in every competition--solo, large group, and small group. Most importantly, she won the Critic's Choice Award for her solo; that means that out of all Broward County Schools, she ranked best!
She's a sweetheart too. I wrote about her here when she went on a mission trip to Peru last summer. Her Papa (Johnny) and I are busting our buttons!
Judith from Judith’s Quiet Moments gave me The Spreader of Love Award. Judith is a Salvation Army Officer who lives with her husband, Nigel, in the UK.
Then, Susan from A Southern Day Dreamer gave me the same award. Susan is amazingly proficient at things-computer. She’s been Blogging for less than two months and she’s soaring!
Since I am permitted to “nominate as many blogs you want to,” I will offer this to YOU if you’ve come to visit and leave me a comment. You KNOW I ❤ comments!

Hi Sally, Your granddaughter is just beautiful and then to have a lovely voice too. I can hear the pride in your voice :>) Please tell her Charli and I are sending congratulations her way!
You have every right to be so proud of your lovely granddaughter and her wonderful accomplishments. How blessed you are!
Have a good Friday :-)
Your grand daughter is lovely. I have a daughter who got straight superiors in both singing and viola, all during high school, so I know just how hard your grand daughter had to work for those, and how talented she must be.
Whoa - if I keep commenting on your posts, and then posting the awards at my place, I won't have space to put anything else on my blog. You deserve every one of them!!!
Sally, that is great news about your precious granddaughter! She is such a darling girl, and I would love to hear her sing! I know you are proud of her and with good reason! :-)
You deserve those awards, friend, and you do spread that love around. You always make me feel loved, and I love you right back! :-)
XO,
Sheila
Congratulations to your granddaughter! That's awesome and she looks very happy about those awards too. I hope she keeps up the good work in drama and goes far. It's a tough field to get into after high school. Best of luck.
Oh, how wonderful for your sweet and pretty granddaughter. I know about bustin' buttons...been there..done that!!
Like those little clapping hands, too...
Congrats on the award and thanks for letting us have it, too. You are such a sweetie..

Sally, this photo says it all. Look at those trophies. I would be bursting my seams too. She is not only talented, she is beautiful as well. Love your bragging rights today.
I rec'd my book yesterday. I am thrilled. I am stock piling reading material for my recovery time on my new knee, Again. sigh!
Hugs...Jeanne
Orchids to Brittany and congratulations to you and Johnny. I can almost see your big smile!
You certainly have a right to be proud of your granddaughter. She's lovely, and wow, what talent.
Congrats on the award.

Charlotte
I know you are so proud of this very talented grand-daughter!
Wow Sally... You do have a talented Granddaughter. Where will she go to college? Will she major in Voice and/or Drama??? Sounds like she could have a great future ahead of her in theater--if she chooses. We have a neat playhouse here (Cumberland County Playhouse)--and they put on great plays year 'round.
Congrats to you too. I took your award to put on my sidebar. Thanks so much!!!! That is the easiest way to do it I think--when people are not left out!!
Congrats again to your grand... Wow!!!
Hugs,
Betsy

Congratulations to you granddaughter, so cute and so talented! Congrats to you too for your award!
Glad you love comments and one of the fun things I like to do is stop by each day and read what my blogging buddies are up to and then post a positive comment because in this world there are way to many folks ready to tell everyone what is wrong. OK that was a little bit of a rant!
Your grand daughter is lovely and you must be so proud of what an accomplished young lady she is.
Have a Great Friday!
Roberta Anne

She is so pretty, Sally, I know you are proud of her. I would love to hear her singing.
Sally, it does look a lot like it except there is no Wall Mart. Kathy
I took the Spreader of Love award because I liked what it says..nice!! Thanks.
Yes, I have worked for my church before but I have to go there..plus like you said no pay..I need that. I have looked on line and well you know the scams that are out there. I just think some wise,business person is missing a great chance.
Your granddaughter is beautiful..Congrats on her awards..Great and you should be proud!!
I know that you are proud of your sweet GD! And you should be! Look at all those awards! Kudos to Britney!
Oh, and congrats on the award!
Congratulations to your grandaughter! That is wonderful news, she sounds like a very lovely young lady.
Congrats on the award... much deserved!
Sally did you know I have a Brittany and she was also in vocal and drama? She attended a great school of Arts here in Ottawa, then she decided in grade 11 after numerous award and plays that she "didn't want to do it anymore"... all that work, time and not to mention $$.
I hope your Brittany reaches for the stars. It sounds like she's on her way.
Congratulation proud one.
Love Claudie

Hi Sally, Brittany is adorable...and TALENTED! She needs to go on the show where folks sing and compete...I never watch t.v....is it American Idol? I think that's it. Wish you could link to a video or put one on your blog so we could hear her sing.

I am commenting on your topper today :). Your backyard looks just like my sister's. She lives in Rockledge, next door to Cocoa Beach. Her little back yard is pretty much identical to yours, you lucky ducks!
