Your girls are adorable.....I have 3 girls(and 3 boys) that are now teenagers. They didn't have the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique when the girls were small....probably a good thing $$$$$$ .
I would love a link to your blog.
Looking forward to reading your May TR......have a great time!
Cathy

Thank you Cathy!! Welcome to my PTR! Sending you the blog link now!!

Joining along...

Your girls are too cute...

I have 2 boys ages 4 and 2.5. I love having the boys, but seeing your girly pink pictures makes me LONG for a girl!

We are going May 12-19th, so we are over lapping with you!

Hope you have a great trip and can't wait to read your Trip Report.

Hi and welcome!! Thank you! Our trips DO overlap!! I know you must be getting excited--I know we are!!

Thank you so much!!

It's late! It's REALLY late here--like 2 a.m. late!! I've been up making bows and now I can't sleep!! My big show is Saturday--I plan on resting after that--and getting back into full force Disney planning mode! My travel agent called me Wednesday to tell me that she received my Mickey mail!! Along with everything from Disney, she put together a big packet for us (can't wait to get it). I know that she typed up all of our confirmation #s, reservations, etc. and laminated them for us. I guess we'll see very soon what else she has included!! Well, I guess I'm going to pull myself away from the computer. I know morning will come quickly--but thankfully we can sleep in!! Talk to ya'll soon! Good night!

Yes, we want hairbow pics. I spend waaaaay too much money on hairbows. It is a good thing Abby is my only girl...so far. Good luck with the show!
I'm so jealous that you have such a good travel agent. We went to the group that All ears recommends and they randomly assign you and ours was not good. She never called or emailed back or anything so we just did it all on our own. Which is fine but I would have liked the little extras.

I just bought Wiggles tickets!! They are coming to Memphis on August 4th!! Whoo hoo! They just went on sale today and I got AWESOME seats! Here is the link for their USA tour: http://http://www.thewiggles.com.au/us/events/48. We've seen them once before--the last time they were in Memphis--when I was preggo with Claire. Now Claire will get to enjoy the show, too! Sooo excited!! Ok--back to bowmaking!

Ok, I'm all caught up! Good luck on the show! I would love the link to your blog! Can I just say how much I love those smocked dresses. My girls have worn that bishop style smocked dress many a time, and I always get so many compliments! Hard to find sometimes though. I find most of mine on ebay through a seller (store name carouselwear) - she has beautiful stuff.

Loved the baskets too! So cute!

Yay on the Wiggles! I kind of miss them. All of my kids have "outgrown" them! I miss hearing some of those songs, I have to say!

Our trips are getting closer and closer!!

Hi Sara!! I will PM you the blog link! Thank you! I love smocked dresses as well. Believe it or not I find most of their smocked dressess at consignment sales. We have a TON of consigment sales throughout the year here in Memphis--I consign the girl's old clothes and then get to shop the sale early. Fun fun!! 21 days!! Whoo hoo!!

So my show was yesterday. I got there around 7:30 a.m. to set-up my booth. Brent came and helped me set-up while my mom stayed at home with the girls. Set-up went quickly. My booth was in a great location near the front where people enter--the same spot I've had the past 3 years. This year 2 of my friends that make frames were right next to me which was great!! So after I finished my booth I decided to walk around to check-out the other booths. I was shocked--there were at least 5 other bow booths that I saw!! I've always been the only one so that was very frustrating!! Ugggh! The festival started at 10:00 a.m. and the weather was gorgeous at around 80 degrees. But the wind was fierce! My tent almost blew away several times and my bow boards as well. It was crazy--I had everything zip-tied to weights, etc. and the wind broke them! Thankfully a friend of mine showed up as I was crying in frustration (I had worked soooo very hard the past few weeks staying up until all hours making these bows). Anyway, her husband helped secure my tent and boards. I was so thankful they showed up when they did! Then Brent, my girls, and my mom showed up after lunch. They stayed awhile and shopped, ate, etc. At times, the wind was so bad that I was physically holding it down! The festival ended at 4:00 p.m. I ended up doing fairly well but not anywhere near how I did last year. Last year I went home with only 1 board left with bows (I have 4)--not so much this year. It was somewhat disappointing. But at least I have a bunch of bows stocked--cuts down on my work now. Anyway, I was tired and sunburnt. We went out to eat with my parents and came home and watched Bedtime Stories--such a cute movie!! Then I fell asleep on the couch! Here are some pics from my booth:

I love your clippies and your booth looks great. The princess and mouse ears are so cute! Sorry the wind was being such a pain and you didn't do as well as you had hoped. Do you have any more shows between now and your trip?

 

[MaryAz]

So sorry about all the wind-yuck! Glad your friends came to save the day! Your bows look really cute and well made. Sorry you did not sell as many as last year. Do you sell them online??

Thank you Leanne!! I do not have anymore shows between now and our trip--thank goodness. I have quite a few orders from the show to fill. Plus getting ready for the trip--I can't believe it's only 3 weeks away!! No but I only do 2 big shows a year. This one in the spring and another (indoor) show in the fall. I do a bunch of Open Houses throughout the year as well.

All the bows are so adorable! I wish Chelsea was still wearing bows!!!
