First Day Creations!!

Well hopefully you can see her shirt enough to see that it has her name embroidered on it (of which downtown does a GREAT job of for really cheap) and then the ribbons crossing the shirt (of which me does NOT a GREAT job of I'm sure) but she liked it and I was proud of myself as well for even attempting a sewing machine EVER but I managed to make two of these shirts and matching bow on the bottom here, so she looked uber cute I think on her first day of big second grade!!

Play Etc.

Just the program from her play!!

What is that Smell??

Oh it's just Destinee....no need to worry!! Well Destinee is starting to walk in the long, and very strange path of her mother while acting in a Missoula Children's Theater production. I did many of them as a younger kid and they are astonishing to me how well they come out with only a week's practice time and how elaborate the costumes and sets still are!! They've come here every year we've been here but we've missed them by mere days or hours either because of a vacation or well...yeah a vacation both times I think!! Anyway, this year's story was a spoof on Robin Hood with skunks that save Maid Marion while she's trapped in the tower by Prince John by distracting the guards with their uuhhhhummm...perfume!! Anyway I was a little worried she would be embarrassed about being such a noxious woodland friend but alot of her other school friends were playing them too and she was thrilled and did a great job!! So you go my "Drama" Queen girl!!

You put WHAT in your Cake!!??

Some of these next pictures are mainly for those lucky (I use that word very loosely) few that check my blog from the states that wouldn't have already been here to see these "events" take place!! So enjoy Mom,Ivy,and Di!! ;) This was Chris's and my collaborative effort at our second Diaper Cake...and I love how they turn out...they're always so fun and of course the second picture is the recipient of said cute cake!! She's due in just a few weeks...doesn't she look ready!!??

First Day Jitters!!

Actually I don't think there were any of those for Destinee or I for that matter this morning, only the hope that she will do well in her first few months of second grade and learn the things she needs to know...okay so maybe that does sound like jitters but not scared ones or lonely ones, just hopeful learning ones!! Anyway, I will post some of those fun pictures and some recent creations when I find the camera cord!! ;)

Fluffs and Stripes

Well this was the first one I made with the new ribbon Chris brought back from his TDY to the good old US of A!! Don't you love the fluff!! Sorry the second one is kinda bright..don't know how to turn off the flash!!

Missoula's Style

This was this morning's style for Destinee's practice for the children's theatre she is in this week!! I loved how the criss cross came out on the bottom! Even with short hair...score one for the shorties!! ;)
