Well first and foremost, I am cruising on my secret project. And having fun, it's ended up being pretty simple. I hope to have it done by this weekend, and to do a photoshoot then. Here's some more parade pics! All of these photos were taken by Dragon. And THIS was when we managed to get way, way behind the rest of the rebels. I can't figure out how that ...
Friday night, we managed to cram 4 people and 4 costumes into the car and hit the road to Jackson, where my grandparents live. Chase was going to go see a band with my cousin that night there in Jackson, so Ash, Kevin and I curled up in the living room and watched movies. We went to bed pretty early, since I wanted to try to be on the road by 7:30. I ...
Well first off - the hotel messed up the rooms, and the March of Dimes people came over and straightened out as best they could - we ended up with a big suite for all of us. It was pretty nice! I wish the Marriott had something like that for Dragoncon that wasn't like, you know, $5000 a night or something, because that would be so perfect for me, Chase and ...
Memphis ZooBoo was LAME compared to the Nashville zoo. We basically just wandered around, got free ice cream sandwiches. Chase got some attention, a handful of photos with kids, but I might as well have been wearing normal clothes (I was in Leia, since it turned out too cold and drizzly last night for WW or Belle) We had fun anyway, but we're not going to go back next year ...
WOW!! The Make-a-Wish event in Clarksville yesterday was awesome! The event was supposed to be from 1-3, we ended up staying until 4 because there were SO many people there, still waiting in line to get pictures with us! I couldn't believe how many people showed up -- we raised almost $1400! I didn't take many pictures, but here they are, in my 2007 Trooping folder. Here's one group pic I found: Chase ...
So, most of this time, this puppy is going to be displayed next to my MR Leia gun (don't know how just yet) -- and when it's not looking pretty on my wall, it will hopefully be part of a future costume of Chase's.... ;) Don't they look nice together?? LOL

First off, my new toy came today! oh heck yes... New Leia pics we took a while back-- I want to do the Rebel Legion trading cards this time around, so I needed better pics of some of my costumes. Next up - padme lake dress -- stormtrooper -- imperial officer -- maybe the parade dress Although, speaking of that, when I was cleaning and organizing my costume closet the ...
This was an awesome event we did on Saturday, for the Shelbyville Humane Society. Chase signed lots of autographs, including an autograph on a lightsaber The Sith Lords pose for their yearbook photo. stormtroopers! Chase as Vader and stormtroopers Me and Chase The emperor loves hamburgers ok i'm bored of typing so the rest are in my 2005/2006 Trooping Folder. this upcoming weekend is horrorfest... and the next is pumpkinfest. busy, ...
Last night was fun! Cold Stone Creamery's Ice Cream Social for Make a Wish. It was a little cold though - I'm going to have to start digging out stuff I can wear under Leia for the Christmas parades. At least I can layer underneath that dress! LOL One lady there with her kids told me they had just bought the Leia costume for her daughter - and that I ...
