Tulip Festival and Fabric Scrap Slippers

In April, every year, Thanksgiving Point holds there annual Tulip Festival and this year I was so excited to see the they are holding there first annual Tulip Princess Pageant. Believe me I am not a mom who wants to have anything to do with spray tanning my child or sticking fake teeth in there mouths (which is just weird anyway) However, this pageant seemed a lot more low key, kinda like our raspberry princess pageant up here for raspberry days.

Every year my Aunt Pam always tries to get everyone to go to the tulip festival because it is a good family fun and a great reason to get us all together. I see it the same way. Putting my girls in the pageant would be a great way for everyone to have a fun reason to go down and to be part of the wholesome family fun of the tulip festival. (Aunt Pam is besides herself and I'm glad we can go down and have some fun)

Here is the link if you are interested in the tulip festival or getting your Lil ones in the pageant as well should be a ton of fun! http://www.thanksgivingpoint.com/calendar/events/tulipfestival/index.html

Gracie has been playing princess 24-7 for the past month. I guess it's good practice for the pageant and she will have so much fun with all of the other kids. So me and Grandma Great had a shopping day and went and bought fabric for there costumes, they are going to be shiny and poofy and everything a princess should be. Princess dress construction should begin tomorrow.... Wish me luck.

I figured I would post a couple of pics for grandma great and aunt Pam of the D.I. gems they found for the girls. Love you both and thank you for the fun dresses.

I also made these slippers for Gracie out of some fabric scraps, they turned out so cute! When I make Irie's I will post a tutorial so if you folks would like to make some for your Lil one you can as well!

Happy Crafting!
