 If you are already using packages and blueprints for your application
 (:ref:`blueprints`) there are a couple of really nice ways to further improve
 the experience.  A common pattern is creating the application object when
-the blueprint is imported.  But if you move the creation of this object,
+the blueprint is imported.  But if you move the creation of this object
 into a function, you can then create multiple instances of this app later.
 
 So why would you want to do this?
