twirly dress

Today's daily doodle says a little about how much of a girly-girl I was or wanted to be when I was younger. I did this doodle years ago, but it was because I was thinking about how when I was younger and my mom always made our Sunday dresses/Easter dresses, I pretty much always requested it be a twirly dress. If I could spin around and the dress lifted up to tutu heights, it passed the test. I loved Cinderella's dress, and I had a friend who was a clogger and I loved their clogger dresses with the yards and yards and yards of petticoats. I was fascinated with the dresses I saw where the skirt attached to the hands of the dancer. (Was it a ballroom dance or talent show or play or something on TV? I really don't remember) I loved ballerina tutus and ball gowns and mermaid hair--heh, who cared about the actual dancing or what the story was. The dresses! Truthfully, I'm still pretty much the same. Okay, okay, so that was too long of an explanation for just a silly little doodle, so on with the doodle! Here it is:

btw - 9yes me again)thankyou for the cleaning pictures. They helped motivate me to clean my bathroom (where kids rarely enter), and today I cleaned my couches - twice alredy even! I also came across the flylady site, I am going to try the shiney sink thing- maybe if I focus on only that for a while I could train my kids!

I remember the barbie dresses your mom made. Holy cow! Playing barbie was way better at your house where barbie wore the MOST twirly dresses EVER! Viva la twirl!
P.S. Where were your family photos taken? They're gorgeous.

Monica, yes. That captures what I was trying to get at perfectly. Who cares if they skated the best, they had the BEST COSTUME!

beth, oh, yes, the Barbie dresses were awesome! Thank you for reminding me!

p.s.the family photos were taken at Wheeler Farm in SLC.
