A Very Special Project

This was an order for 4 shirts for 4 little girls to wear during Race For the Cure. But, not just any little girls. These are 4 little girls who lost their Me Me to breast cancer not long ago. I knew their Me Me and she was very special. I was honored to make the shirts and for me, it was a reminder of how breast cancer affects people and how important it is to support this cause!

A Few New Ideas

Here are some of my latest projects!!!
The first picture was an order for a solid red tutu. With all of the ribbon, rhinestones and gadgets in my cabinet it was hard for me to stick to plain red, but in the end I'm glad I did! It turned out beautiful and looked great on her, too!!!! Awesome idea, Rachel!!!!

This was for my mom!!!! She kept talking about needing just y-shirts to wear, so she told me to make her one. Obviously, this is to wear around Christmas, but I thought it turned out great! She was pretty happy with it as well!! It is on a long-sleeve black t-shirt.

This is awesome!!!! I was so pleased with how this turned out! It is designed around candy canes, but one special thing is that in the tutu are randomly placed jingle bells!!!!

This shirt is for Laci!!!! She has been asking for something for her, so I made this for her but I can make more! (for any team)

I have two more orders completed, however, I want to get it in the people's hands before I post pictures!!! But, I will post those as soon as I can!

Daddy Time

Brad and the girls played football in our bedroom! They ended up ruining 3 shirts and a couple of pillows! But, who cares? They had a blast. Well, Laci did. Megan didn't like looking like a turtle! She was like Humpty Dumpty. Once she fell down. she couldn't get up!!!


Laci was hot and tired afterwards, but didn't want to take her shoulder pads off, so she could play later!
This morning they had a kid's class at Home Depot. Brad and Laci went and she built a fire truck!

Yesterday, Laci was laying in the floor and Megan dropped a baby doll right on her mouth! She got a busted lip! She is mighty proud of it!

New Business????...What??

Well, it's true!! I am turning a hobby into a business! I have been making tutus for over a year now. Brad said I either had to sell them or quit buying the stuff to make them! So, here goes!

The name of my business is A Princess Can Play, Too. The basis for my business and my idea has been growing rapidly in the last four years!!! When Laci was about 2-3 months old we were planning our first trip to a Benton Panther game to watch my brother play! I spent an entire Friday looking for a CUTE outfit for her to wear to the game! All I could find were the generic screen printed shirts and the smallest I could find around town was a 2T. 4 years and another daughter later, I am still having the same problem! I realized very quickly that finding something CUTE AND SPORTY for a girl under 6 was tough! So, I started to make my own! It has been a hit and I enjoy seeing what I can come up with. I do custom tutus, shirts, bows etc.! The possibilities are endless!

My first show will be at Old Fashion Day in Benton! It's October 11th, 8-5:30 downtown at the courthouse! Come by and check it out! Here are some of the things I have done to give you an idea of what I am doing! Remember, these are custom and can be done with whatever you want them to say or any color you would like!

MAKE ONE TO SUPPORT YOUR FAVORITE TEAM!!!!

USA!! This outfit was made for a little girl who was born about 3 weeks ago. She was born and her daddy is in Iraq! He will be coming home this month to meet his daughter for the first time!

HOLIDAYS...NO PROBLEM! I am working on some Christmas ones right now!!!

AWARENESS!! October is Beast Cancer Awareness Month. Little Rock Race for the cure is Ocotber 11th. I have already had an order for several of these shirts! A percentage of all proceeds from the sale of these shirts/outfits will be donated to breast cancer research!

Hobbies!! This one is so appropriate as today begins bow season!!!!!

That is a small selection of what I have been working on! I am coming up with new ideas daily and getting ideas from others! I hope to have a website up and running so I can post every item as it gets completed! If you have questions, ideas, want to make an order, or simply encourage... you can respond to this post or email me at amberbo12@yahoo.com. Thanks so much!

What a Weekend!!!

Well, this weekend was great! First of all, I do not like to post that Brad is out of town and he was gone last week on an Elk Hunt in Colorado. It was awful with him gone and not knowing when or if I could talk to him!!! He travels some and it is usually okay. This time it was tougher. Probably because it was more like 10 days (or was supposed to be) He wasn't supposed to be back until today, but he had had enough! He came home Friday night and we were so excited!!!!!! Therefore, we had a fun Saturday! We went out to Papaw and Mamaw Grant's farm and played! Another exciting thing about this weekend was that Wes came home from college. It was great to see him and the girls were glad he was home also! He was at the farm as well!!
Saturday night was not as fun. Both girls are snotty and coughing so we had a rough sleepless night. We (and the girls) slept in on Sunday! I'm sure the kids in their Sunday School class appreciated that. They would have coughed and snotted on everyone!! especially Meg! Then, on Sunday afternoon, the Young Adults at church went and watched Fireproof. It was GREAT!! high budget film???...no. INCREDIBLE message??? ABSOLUTELY! I highly recommend it to all couples! It was such a breath of fresh air in today's society! To be able to sit in the theater and hear them say God and it not proceeded with "oh my"! To watch an entire movie without a cuss word or sex scene! And one more thing! My sis watched an interview with Kirk Cameron and he said in the scene where he was supposed to kiss his on screen wife, they brought in his actual wife!!! He said that kissing someone in a movie is no different than in real life! What a stance!

Anyway, here are some great pictures from the farm!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is one of the new kittens they got. They were just the girls' size and they loved them!!!!! this one is looking into the chicken cage and in the back right you can see the peacock!! The cage behind them is the goat pen, but the goats didn't want their picture made!!!! :)
Megan and Laci both got to sit in Poppy's lap and drive the tractor around the field!!! It will not be long before Laci can drive it by herself!!!!!
Megan with one of the new kittens!!!
Laci with the other kitten! Laci carried one of the kittens around all day. They would scratch and bite me but would let her carry them around and play!
We love Uncle Wes!!!!!!

The Wonder Place

Tuesday, Laci and Megan had a "playdate" with their friends Evie and Drew. We went to The Wonder Place. They had a blast, especially Laci! She could play all day there. But, with 3 babies under 2 we had to consider naptime! Either way it was fun and here are some pictures!

Laci at the veterinarian section! She had on her vet coat and was taking care of the animals!
Megan in her chef's hat eating the product!



Megan and Drew climbing up to the top of the tree!
Megan playing dress-up! moooooo!
Evie and Megan at the water feature. This is where the babies liked to hang out. We decided they were thirsty when they started drinking the water out of the toys!

Game Weekend!

I just love football season! The weather is cooler and there is so much to do on the weekends (if you want to). Friday night Laci went to the Panther football game with Sarah (even though Megan was the one wearing the Panther shirt)! Then, on Saturday, we went to a Sunday School game watching party! It was fun and we were all in red and white for that! Although, after the first few minutes we all had rather talk than watch the ballgame! Here are a few pictures of Megan from this weekend. Believe it or not, Laci didn't want me to take her picture...DIVA!

The reason Megan is not looking at me in the above picture is because she is standing on my vanity stool, looking at herself in the mirror!
Almost caught her looking!
Hog Game Day!!!

She was fading fast for naptime! So, I took her picture before I fixed her hair. Sure enough, after I fixed her hair, she would not cooperate and went to sleep shortly thereafter!

She's got her binky. You can tell she's sleepy!

Although I am partial to my kids and think are precious, I am not a mom that is quick to call them the smartest, cutest, sweetest, best, etc. But, I have to say Megan is about the funniest kid I know! I wish I could recall all of the stories that have us rolling! But, when it comes time to recall them I draw a blank! So, as I remember stories I want to record them on here. Not just for the fam, but for me as well! One of her most recent antics is a single word and head bob! She will look at you, shake her head back and forth and say, "DUH". It's like a 12 year old smart alick kid! We just roll in the floor laughing!!!
