My Birthday!

Hi everyone!

In my last post I told you all how busy I had been - that has NOT stopped! I also told you my birthday was coming up! Well it has come and gone and I have to say IT WAS THE BEST DAY EVER!! Actually I got to celebrate over TWO days - I'm so special!

The first day my mom and I went to American Girl Place Chicago. I finally got me an American Girl doll! My doll has brown skin, brown curly hair, and brown eyes just like me! I named her Cicely and she is now one of my favorite dolls! I spent a few hours there looking around, shopping, taking pictures, and having dinner at the diner. They even brought me out a birthday cake and everyone in the restaurant sung to me! Here are some pictures.





 I made myself a red and white tutu with matching hair bows. Pretty cute huh?!


The next day I had a birthday party at the bowling alley. The party had a Mardi Gras theme. Me and all my guests had feather masks, bead necklaces, and light up bracelets. We bowled, ate pizza, took pictures, and had more cake! I got lots of great gifts. I made a tutu to match my party theme in green, yellow, and my favorite color purple! Here's some pictures from the party.





I really enjoyed my birthday! Since the celebrations I have been back to business making tutus and bows for lots of people for Christmas. I did manage to sneak in some fun at the Winter Wonderfest, Build-A-Bear, American Girl Place (again), and the Lego store though! Oh, and a visit with Santa & Mrs. Claus! Remember I did say work hard PLAY HARD!!!!



See you again soon friends!

My First Date!

Hi everybody!

Last Saturday I had my first date. Don't panic, it was with my daddy! We went to my school's Father-Daughter Dance. Me and my dad put on our dressy clothes and shoes. Check us out!

 We headed out for the the dance. The theme was a masquerade ball so we had to wear masks. My dad wore a black mask. I did too but I added a sassy feather to mine :)

At the ball we danced together and did the Soul train line. My Dad did the moonwalk! He is great! I loved the father daughter dance!

Have you ever been to a father daughter dance? How did you like it?

Halloween & My Business!!!

Hello everyone! Sorry I have taken so long to make another post. Forgive me? :) I think you will when I tell you want I've been up to.

For Halloween a couple weeks ago I dressed as Trinity-Belle, my own version of Tinkerbell. Check out my reversible green and yellow tutu, black leotard & leggings, & wings! I topped it off with a yellow butterfly clip. To make everything even more special I dressed my doll Tiana up as a rainbow fairy. She is wearing a tutu dress that I made personally for her plus a hot pink & purple bow my mom made!




I did not go trick or treating because it was too cold. I did go to a Hallelujah  celebration at my church though. We also had a party at school where everyone dressed like their favorite book character and shared their stories with us. It was fun seeing my teachers dressed up. I wish I had a camera to show you all pictures.

How was your Halloween? What were you dressed as?


Since I've been missing in action I'll add a bonus to this post! Other than schoolwork and dance the other reason I have been busy is I have my own business!! I am so excited! I make tutus and hair bows. Last Saturday I had my very first craft show so I had to make a lot of stuff to sell. My mom works for me and she helped since I can't handle the glue gun yet :) Here are a few pictures.








The show went great and I had a good time. My nana, cousins, aunt, godmom, and godsisters all came to support me! There were lots of people selling lots of stuff. It was fun getting their business cards and giving them mine. I can't wait until I have another show!


I have to go now - I have 7 tutu orders to fill! I still can't believe I have a business. I want to be a fashion designer and my mom says this is a good way to start building my dream. What do you want to do or be when you grow up?!

Treasures from my mind - THE FRESH BEAT BAND!!!

Sunday I went to downtown Chicago to see The Fresh Beat Band live in concert! This was my second time seeing them in person but I was still super excited! I put on my shiniest, most blingy outfit and headed out to party with the band :)

My mom and I took the train downtown and it was an interesting ride. This was my first time on the train in a long while except when I took the Amtrak to New Orleans, Louisiana. That was different though :) When we got off the train we were right in front of The Chicago Theater where the concert would happen!


I had a great time and really enjoyed the show. Here are a couple shots of the FBB in action:


After the show was the VIP after party. There I got to play, sing, dance, and decorate my own rockstar!


Then came the best part, talking to the FBB and taking a picture :) They even remembered me from the last concert - I felt so special. I'd say it was a really great day!

Treasures From My Closet - Outfit of the Day

Hey everybody! Today I felt really sassy and cute so I thought I'd share my outfit with you! :) Treasures from my closet today were a cute pink printed batwing shirt, dark skinny jeans, and black ballet flats. My mom got the Bongo top from Sears, the jeans are Denizen from Target, and the flats are Steve Madden.

I think I look really cute! What are some of your favorite outfits?
