I thank everyone who helped me get to dance camp once again!! It was my third year and also the 70th anniversary for the dance camp!! I got to reconnect with old friends and some great teachers I have had over the years. I also got to meet a bunch of new, great teachers who taught some amazing dances. I am so glad that I got to show my peers what the life at dance camp was like ! they really loved it and we are going to perform and teach the new dances we have learned. Once again thank you all so much for the help and I hope for many more years to come!! * these were the girls that came with me to camp!! I have gone to dance camp two years in a row now and I have had so much fun!! I have met so much more people. And have met a whole new dance family !! I am planning on going again this year so please donate ! I can't wait to go again this year!! The girls in the picture from left to right is: two girls that were in sussefusse with me and the next girl is my roommate of two years, then there is 7th grade me !! I have been wanting a hamster for so long and saving my money from my business and my mom made sure I budgeted enough to also buy food and bedding for him for the future. On Thursday the 5th i got my pet hamster! I was walking home from school and I got home and nobody was there so I went to my neighbors home to see if anyone was home. Everyone was there so they opened the door and asked me to come in. My mom was talking with my neighbors and at first they had the hamster in his cage covered in a towel and they surprised me. At first they thought that I didn't like him but I didn't even see that there was a hamster in the cage. Then I saw his tiny little nose and i just was so excited and it was a Sinterklaas miracle! My mom is Dutch and their tradition is to put out the wooden shoes at night with food and water for Sinterklaas' white horse, and he comes and puts chocolate coins in our wooden shoes!
Our school had a craft fair and I got to be a vendor and I was right in the front of the kids vendor hall.
I sold some of my things, I sold some monsters, earrings and aprons. I sat next to my friend Esme. It was so fun! My mom got to be the Pocket Fairy, where kids go up to her and give her a ticket and she gives them a little gift from her pocket. The next craft fair I did was at Arbor Lodge Coffee shop and I was vending with my friend Aidan. We had lots of fun, I sold some of my big monsters and earrings, and we bought some hot chocolate. When we started the Modified Style PDX designs, my mom got some fashion illustration books from the library. I really enjoyed learning how to draw in the fashion way. I drew this picture, and it was my favorite, and people kept complimenting me and my mom on it, and we thought we could put them on t-shirts and iPhone cases! I drew it on lined paper, so my Uncle Joshua took the lines out and made it nice. You can buy my illustration merchandise at my Cafe Press site! I am so excited about all the different things we can get, like water bottles and shopping bags and lunch bags! So many cool things! Go look! One of my mom's friends asked on Facebook if anyone had kids from 9-18 to be a part of a video for the hospital, and my mom knows how much my brother and I like to act, so she signed us up!
It was for the Behavioral Health Center, so when families and kids have to go there, they can watch this video and not be so scared. I was really happy I got to be a part of this, not only because it was fun, but because it will help families not be so scared during a hard time. When we first got there, we got pizza and soda and sat around a lot and waited, because that's what you do in show business. So then we went into the main area, the parents had to stay down stairs. We weren't allowed to wear shoes. My brother got to play video games and I got to read a book and they took video of us doing that. Then we got to play outside for awhile, and our parents came out to watch. I drew on the sidewalk with sidewalk chalk, and talked to the therapist and my brother tossed football. It was so easy and fun and we got to meet some other really great people and do service for the community! Last year I modeled for my mom who made a dress for Modified Style Portland, and this year I get to be a designer! I am really excited about being a designer this year! With Modified Style, we go pick out our bags of fabric, then have to design with just the fabric that is in the bags. We also get to pick out some notions and lace and buttons to go on it. We got to go to the Fabric Distribution Party on July 25 and pick out our bags of fabric. We put our name in the drawing and even won some sparkley fake fur! My mom and brother are designing too, here we all are, with our bags of fabric! I will post more pictures as I go! The show is September 26 and you can get your tickets here!
The gown I designed got to be in another fashion show my mom was a part of! I was so excited it was showing again! Here are some pictures. If you want to purchase this gown, you can buy it on my mom's Etsy Page. The model, Torrie, unbuttoned the shoulder button at the end of the runway and showed the back. Mom said there was applause! People loved my design! Here's my mom on her designer walk with Torrie in my purple gown!
I made this dress for my mom for Mother's Day. I didn't let her go in her sewing room at all for awhile while I made this, so I did it all myself!
I put it on the dress form and then covered the dress form up so she wouldn't see it. She had to wait until Mother's Day! She loved it! Happy Mother's Day to the Best Mom Ever! |
