Well it is finally all over!! We have spent the last 10 weeks traipsing into town so that my youngest, Sarah (nearly 9) could practise & learn to dance to partipate in a Junior Debutante Ball which was being run as a fundraiser for the Make a Wish Foundation for critically ill children. We had 22 young couples doing their debut & they were all georgous!
Here is a photo of my Sarah & her partner David. (Looks like the carefully prepared hair do was already mucked up by this stage after playing outside first!)
We were very proud of her as she & her partner had to answer questions on stage in front of 250 odd people & they spoke extremely well. They were also in perfect time to the music whilst their little group of 18 performed 'The Jive' for all of us. Quite a few were so nervous that they sped along & got themselves a little confused. They were aged from 5 yrs to 9yrs in this group, then we had another 26 older kids up to 13 yrs old doing the Tango afterwards.
It was a good night & lots of fun & raised lots of money for the Make a Wish Foundation.
Thanks to her Auntie Helen who made this dress for her daughter Tess, to wear as a flowergirl in a wedding last year. It fitted fine and was well complimented!
Back to quilting now....have been really good this past 3 weeks getting 8 customer quilts done! Haven't done this many since March with all my travelling and other business's to attend to. Feels good to get some quilting done & the cupboard cleaned out some....
cheers
Tracey

Tracey,
She's a doll and the little boy doesn't look too shabby either. Isn't it nice when kids can participate and enjoy themselves?
They are adorable!
Tracey - your daughter is beautiful!
BTW - if there were 250 "odd" people there, how many "normal" people were there? LOL
Oh Tracey - they are so precious! What a nice thing to do for some very special kids.

They look darling!
Glad you're in the blog community Tracey, it's a fun thing to do but a bit time-consuming when you get into it.
Your daughter looks so cute, we did our deb when we were 15 and still have the awful photos to prove it. The little kids look so wonderful though, I'm glad the events are still being held.
