And here's Nina trying on her new gymnastics outfit.



KeaShay of Little Lady & Me: A lot of Style for your Little Lady sent in these pictures of her beautiful daught, 'Lady'.

"We didn't have a tiara so we did 2 strand twists up towards crown of head in the "shape" of tiara - well at least my version of the shape."



Darlynn sent in pictures of her daughter K'Lee with a super cute bun style, and wearing her Princess Tiana outfit before heading out to see the movie.

The Princess and the Frog

Repost from December 2009

What a long day! First we stopped by Chuck E. Cheese for a few hours.











Off to see The Princess and the Frog. Two tickets, please.





I was a little upset that they didn't have The Princess and the Frog poster to take a picture with.



Lets find a seat. All the way at the top!





Random video. I loved this song, actually, I loved all of the songs!



After watching The Princess and the Frog. (a kid had her attention, lol)



We LOVED this movie! It was so cute. She stayed laughing and dancing. She got up out of her seat once to dance for a second, lol. I was tapping my foot the entire time too. Great music, great message. This was A's first time going to the movies and it was well worth it. I don't want to give out too many details, so take your kiddos to see it!! They will love it! :D

Edit: A's grandma asked her how the movie was and she replied "It was GREAT!!!" and started jumping up and down. I wish I would have caught that on camera. We spent the night here looking at clips and playing games. She said we're going back to see the movie tomorrow. I asked her if she has $20. :)

I would like next weeks Hair Share to be The Princess and the Frog theme. So any pictures you have that have something to do with it, whether it's an outfit, you were at the movies, etc, send them in! beadsbraidsbeyond@yahoo.com Thanks!! :)

Princess Tiana Bun Picture Tutorial

Repost from 2009

I wanted to make a big bun in A's hair, so I used an old long sock of mine. The bigger the bun, the bigger the sock, the smaller the bun, the smaller the sock. It all depends on your personal preference.

1. Cut the end off of the sock

2. Start rolling the sock into a donut until you get to the end, & you're done!

1. Put hair into a ponytail

2. Slide the sock all the way on to the ponytail

3. Lay the hair all around the sock, and with a smaller tooth comb or boar bristle brush, smooth the hair down. *Note* You are not brushing/combing through the hair! Just smoothing it down.

4. After smoothing the hair down a bit, add another ponytail holder around the bun. *Note* You should not have to wrap this ponytail holder around, simply put it on top and leave it alone.

5. Gather up the left over hair, and pull it to the back of the bun.

6. Start twisting the gathered section around, then start twisting it around/under the bun. *Note* You may also be able to just push the left over hair under the bun, but this is what works for us. You can also leave the leftover hair out and curl it by doing coils or use flexi-rods, or whatever else you want!

7. You're done! Add a bow or headband!

  If you want to leave a little hair out on the side, part it out before you make you bun, take the section of hair and just start twisting & twisting & twisting, let it go and it should make a cute little clumped curl. I think it is technically called a coil.

 Usually when I do a bun in A's hair, I just put it up into a ponytail, then start twisting all of the hair around, then wrap it all around the ponytail holder, and add another ponytail holder ontop. I think it comes out just as cute, not quite as big though.
