a 1940's photobooth.

last night was the swinging-est dance i've ever been to. literally. 

ever since exactly a year ago today...my friends and i have been planning a 40's dance for our annual homeschool cotillion. after HOURS of list making, planning, dreaming, crafting, painting, cleaning, and more...last night was the big night.

and let me tell you...it did NOT disappoint.

hopefully in about a week or so i'll be able to share pictures from the dancing, speaking, singing (three of us performed an andrews sisters song), etc. but for now...here are some of my favorite pictures EVER from the photobooth we set up!

i've been wanting to put one of these together for the longest time (after seeing so many cute ideas on pinterest). it was a HIT! i just got through looking at and editing them all...and i'm just going to say...there are some hilarious ones. 

i love this idea so much.

well...i'm off to take a nap. dancing until midnight and talking until 3am can sure make you feel sleepy. i'll share more later! 

have a lovely sunday afternoon.

xo,

oh...i'm 18.

so...i turned 18 about ten days ago. i didn't do anything crazy or over-the-top. i was in the middle of tech week for oliver, so there was only so much i could actually do. but what made the week really great were the friends i got to spend time with and the people who texted, called, and facebooked me. 

i'm oh-so blessed.

the saturday after my birthday was spent seeing hunger games (squeep!!), eating delicious foods, and staying up until an unholy hour (not necessarily my choice).

i got my license renewed the other day...you know, the license that lasts you six years instead of one (because now i'm a legal adult...what...?) and of course it's the WORST picture i've ever seen. i know everyone always says that about their pictures...but you have no idea how bad this one is. sad, sad day.

i think my very favorite part of the week was recieving the absolute BEST card in the mail. i've never laughed so hard while reading a letter as i did while reading this one. i'd share it's contents...but it's very possible you'd think me, and the letter sender, certifiably insane. however, i would have liked to see the postman's face when he saw a letter addressed to "The Divinely Beautiful Queen Rebecca of the Unnamed Kingdom" from "Ryleigh, the Rebel." 

oh i love my friends. 

freebirds...and why it's awesome.

if you've ever been to freebirds...this post is completely unnecessary because you already know how amazing this place is. sure...the food is great...but the crazy, awesome people who work there are the BEST! they will get out a ladder just to help you put a tinfoil creation up on their ceiling. who does that?! yes...this place rocks.

oliver pictures and review!

i told you about the huge costuming job i just finished up, last week, at the artisan...but i didn't really show you any of the costumes. so here is a quick look at some of my favorite rehearsal/production photos! 

"Costumer Rebecca Roberts did a glorious job dressing the huge variety of street people."

see full review here.

this show was such fun because of all of the mix-matched, low class characters. i loved putting their costumes together. but then the fun, colorful characters had some amazing costumes as well. not going to lie...the artful dodger's costume is my favorite costume EVER.

i loved this opportunity so much...and am so proud of how amazing the show is. if you're anywhere near north texas you should absolutely make a trip out to see this fantastic show. so many cute little boys singing and dancing...how can you resist it?

ta-ta!

oliver...oliver twist!

wow. hey there! life is kind of crazy, huh? 

one of the biggest things i've been working on that i'm excited to share with y'all...is my job as costumer for "oliver!" at the artisan theater. i'm not going to lie...it was a massive job...and i still can't believe i agreed to it (but i'm so glad i did). it was such a HUGE learning experience...and i met some incredible people. 

it was my first time driving to the artisan (alone) several times a week (a big deal for me). i got my own key to the costume shop (eep!). i handled everything from taking measurements, purchases, constructions needs (i got a little help with that one), and putting ALL of the costumes together. luckily a couple of my friends (and my awesome mother) pitched in at fittings (otherwise...i would have died), costume parade, and tech week.

such a fun, rewarding, HARD experience. yay for tackling challenges!

i'll share production photos and the review the costumes got soon (so exciting)!

meanwhile...
