So, I was Marie Antoinette & he was...... a guy in a robe & mask for Halloween! It was soooooo fun to play dress up! I've been missing out on a lot of fun! Marie Antoinette is F A B U L O U S! I think I will dress up like her on a daily basis, minus the wig :)

Because I couldn't find a costume for Marie Antoinette exactly how I wanted it, I DIY'd the living daylights out of my own!

Wig- ebay

ear rings- from my wedding

pearls- costume jewels from mother

brooch- thrift store

Victorian purse- thrift store

corset- ebay

thigh highs w/pink bow- ebay

blue pettiskirt- used kaiya eve couture skirt from ebay, spray painted by me.

LASTLY... my shoes...- purchased brown boots from thrift store, spray painted shoes blue & hand painted designs :)

til next Halloween!

I FEEL LIKE AN ADULT! lol. So funny the things that make us feel like "grown ups"! I chaperoned Boopity's first field trip last Thursday and it was a blast. I was also given the chance to get to know his teachers and I must say that I really like them both!

one of his teachers picked up a pumpkin for Kailynn-James :)

his teacher is really fun!

Casper's castle caused lots of tears

I find it hilarious that the little girls in his class all ran to hold his hand! It's funny NOW...

his teacher tells me that every time she tries to take his picture, he covers his face or gives her a blank stare. LOL. Wonder if I traumatized him by snapping his picture every day of his life!

:issue: repeat clients

repeat clients are GREAT! When they come back, you know you're doing something right~

:issue: post{ing} 101

wow, this is post 101 for my blog. It sure doesn't feel like I've posted that many topics. COOL!~

Just felt like posting pics from a recent personal project of mine called "The Dreamweavers Children". I took about 2 weeks to shoot my entire story for a submission to a contest... Imagine how crushed I was when I received an email notifying me that submission was closed and my story couldn't be added into the contest :-/ { I submitted on time, not sure what happened}

I guess sometimes it has to be like that. I was very proud of the work and thought I'd share some of the images.
