Warning!

Turning 11 is hazardous to your health. It makes you turn quite orange. This is dd's costume for an orange birthday party she attended today. We paid less than $12 for the whole thing, including nail polish and hair dye, thanks to the Salvation Army store and the dollar store. The pants were too orange, so she used my bleach pen and made cool designs on them. She bought fabric at WM to make her belt and matching hobo bag. She's very into DIY.
Her efforts paid off, as she was the runner-up in the orange contest at the party. She won a $5 gc to Coldstone Creamery :-) Yay dd11, you go!

Wow. That's very... orange. LOL! I kinda like it! My dd9 thinks a color-themed party sounds like a great idea.

She's so cute. I just want to give her a SQUEEZE. Ha,ha! Bad orange pun. Sorry.

But she is adorable. And congrats to her.

LOL Mary--the winner had more layers of orange, and also big funky huge orange sunglasses ;-) DD didn't begrudge her status at all tho--especially not with that Coldstone gc ;-)
