Annabelle Claire ~

Here are some pictures of Annabelle, my lil sis!  For the photo shoot, we dressed her up in one of my (personally) favorite sun dresses of hers : )  We also sat down and drew pictures with crayons and glitter, and a can of paint brushes!  Most of the pictures turned out to be princesses with glittery crowns and dresses!  We headed out and found a tree to "decorate with them"!

I did a "messy bun" in her hair so she could use some sparkly new hair clips : )

Reaching up "high" to tape her last "glittery" pictures on

Hope you enjoyed!

Ballet, and savings!

Just some old pictures of my little sis!  She's taking after me!  We had dressed her up in a new, expensive ballet outfit from our Aunt when she visited, white tights, some hand-me-down shoes,

and lady bug earrings.....wich equals ADORABLE!!!

She loved her new, full, fluffy skirt!  I love the velvet leotard on top!  She wore hand-me-down shoes then, but now she has pink Ballet slippers!  She wants to take Ballet lessons now at our local YMCA, so, like i said, she's taking after me : )

I'm saving up to take Ballet lessons at an Academy/school near us!  I have a savings jar that has $5.10 in it so far, and a paper that reminds me i have birthday money coming too, so in all i'm wanting to saveup $100 to get a good ballet outfit and shoes : )  So, in all, with the money i'm going to earn from doing work around the house, and from my savings in the bank, i should have around $60??  But, i'm in no rush!  Wish me luck!

Oh, and do you guys have any advice on how to save up money??  All of my ideas have failed : (

Thanks!
