Here's just a few photos from our VERY BUSY St. Patrick's day! We performed at various schools, assisted livings and offices, along with the IDS center, the Landmark center, with Katie McMahon (but that show wasn't in wigs and costumes). Thanks to all of you who were able to come to see us!!

A new look!!



Yes, I got glasses a few days ago. They've taken some getting used to but I can see much better! I'm quite near-sighted.
How do I look??

New Solo Dress Plans!!



Our teacher is starting a solo dress business. She designs them and has someone make them for her. I'm in line for a Fauna Gille Designs solo dress! She has made two for some other girls in the school and now she's thinking up ideas for mine. The sketch is just one of them. It won't be as plain when it's finished, Fauna is a specialist at jeweling! There may be more than 1000 jewels when it's done. I hope to have it in time for St. Patrick's Day, so most of you will be able to see it in person!! Please comment and tell me what you think about this...!
