PRINCESS GABRIELLA TURNS 3 1/2


Princess Gabriella (my next door neighbor) is a little over 3 1/2 years old and it's high time she moves out of the "Winnie the Pooh" decor and into the "Glamour Girl" bedroom. After painting her bedroom walls a 'high stylin' bright Purple she had Mom paint her toy box Bright Pink (one of my very favorite colors, just in case you didn't know).

Well in her very sweet and tiny voice (sometimes!), Princess Gabriella asked Cathy if she would please paint her toy box something pretty and very girly. I was more than happy to oblige.




Yesterday Gabriella's toy box received lots of beautiful roses which danced over the top, front and sides of her beautiful, 'Big Girl' toy box, then Fairies and Glitter (of course!) were added for the final touch. It was a big hit. She is just "Tickled Pink" with her new toy box from Cathy's "Glitz and Glam" station.

Finis!

Wow Cathy,
Beautiful chest. I bet Gabriella (beautiful name by the way) is so happy with her new toy box. But, I bet she would rather spend time in the fairy cottage. If I wasn't afraid of getting sent to the "home", I would dress up in tutu and crown. I would always carry my wand, and make sure there was plenty of fairy dust to go around. But alas I don't look well in restraints, lol

Ilove the contrast between the sweet little girl and the music.
the box is wonderful! it would have delighted me when i was a little girl.
Now the song calls to another part of me. Who is that singing / is it one of the Dixie Chicks? I guess it is random that the song came on just as I was reading the post but it was perfect for me today!
Love all of it.
