My beautiful DD2 in her prom dress!
Well I think it is time to record a few thoughts about my DD2's prom. Though I say it myself - she looked BEAUTIFUL!! As did all our other young people - once again they have shown us that they "scrub up well" as the saying goes!!I had the afternoon off to act as Ladies Maid!! and believe me I DID! I painted nails - toes & fingers, did the hair - which took 3 hours!!!!!! Rhiannon's hair is waist length, and straight!But what did she want for the Prom - Curls of course. So out came my old fashioned curling tongues (the VERY narrow variety) and off I went, creating ringlets worthy of any Victorian Mama! Though I say it myself- the mummy did good - to paraphrase Sylvester Stallone (I think) LOL. Then a quick spin (like Wonderwoman!!!)and I became Make Up Artist to the Stars! Doing not only Rhiannon's make up but also her friend Sammy's - Dad's taxi whisked me down the street to Sammy's house - where once again I painted a very pretty face with just a soupcon of eye shadow to highlight another beautiful pair of eyes!
Truly it was a pleasure - and to add cream to this rather hectic afternoon - I went to the Prom, saw them all arrive and then snook in at the back - as a supervising staff member!!! Stayed on the Staff table - except when I acted as un official photographer. I will add pics later!So many now to scrap!!
Not only that - they all went on to an "After Prom Party" going on from 11.30 til 4am! However it was with parental organisation, in the barn of one of the local farmers (his daughter Rachel is one of Rhiannon's friends), invitation only, bouncers (local farmers!!) on the doors. overnight accomodation or cars home - dependant on where they live and disco! Since we had to provide home contact numbers to Mr & Mrs C - we agreed she would be allowed to go. I understand it was a success - with no trouble of any kind - and I have my sources - you do in a rural community!!
Have got quite a few pages done in this album now, so thought I would share.
THANKS FOR LOOKING.
Today I went into town to collect Rhiannon's dress for her prom on Thursday this week. I had forgotton how lovely it was. It really is a dress for a princess! A deep rich shade of plum red chiffon with just a touch of beading on the bodice - she will look truly beautiful - to my eyes anyway (proud mamma here).I do so want her to have a fantastic time, along with all her friends. They are a great bunch of youngsters - who are a pleasure to have call round - I think I am almost as excited as they are!! I am so looking forward to taking some photos of them all looking grown up and grand! Hope to share later in week!
Well today is National Scrapbooking Day in USA and it looks like us Brits have hijacked it and adopted it as well. There are lots of scrappy things going on all over I believe, certainly on UKS and on the Design Collective anyway. Trying to get my mojo up and running - but not doing very well really!Here is a LO of DD2 - she is getting so grown up these days!!
the bluebells are in bloom. At lunchtime their heady perfume created me as I walked past the walled garden to the sandwich shop. I think they must be what heaven smells like and I have no words to tell you what pleasure they give me. I love the intensity of their colour, their perfume takes my breath away, the shape of the bells even - in my head I hear them ringing - one of mother nature's masterpieces in my humble opinion.I wish they lasted longer - but then maybe it is the shortness of their time each year which makes them so special for me!
Had a lovely parcel from my dear friend Jamie, and a delightful letter - which I have at my bedside so I can re read it later- thank you so much my dear, proper letter on its way as well.
