Madison's favorite princess {as of right now} is Tangled (AKA Rapunzel), which is her hair-idol!! When I heard Disney on Ice's "Dare to Dream" was coming to town I just had to take her AND I managed to keep it a surprise until the day of the show. Thanks to "Julie's Corner" & my loyal clients, I got her front row floor seats!!
Since she is in love with Tangled I knew that would be the outfit of choice & that store bought was not going to cut it for my lil princess!! (some might say she's a lil spoiled but I say she's just right) And the search began, putting several ideas together until I had everything set!
I have say, it came out pretty darn good!!
And although Madison has butt-length hair, it wasn't long quite enough for Tangled's hair...what did I do next??!! I made her some hair extensions that touched the floor! She was ecstatic but still had no idea what it was all for.
The evening of the show, I finally revealed what it was all for! She was excited but didn't really know what she was about to see! From the moment I took her out of the car until she got back home, she strutted her stuff! Oh and let me not forget to mention; with every single compliment she received, she would prance around and be sure they saw the entire outfit! (ha-ha) I do believe she felt like a true princess :)
(Yes, I even went as far as putting the wild flowers in her braided hair just like Tangled)
During the show, she was handed a "Tangled" doll - boy oh boy that was it! You couldn't wipe the smile off her face! She didn't want to put it down! And did I mention that she didn't sit much - she spent the majority of the show singing and dancing right on side the ice!
((And of course I had to get her the matching crown to top off the outfit!))
As sad as she was to leave, she kept the smile on her face! The excitement in this child's eyes was worth every single penny I spent! Words cannot explain the joy and fulfillment I felt that night and EVERY single time she talks about it!!
I didn't post this to get others to buy a Tangled outfit from me because no amount of money would be worth the time, effort & love that went into it - some things just can't be duplicated! This post is simply just an attempt to share a piece of the magical joy I felt that night! <3
Looking forward to many more magical moments with my beautiful Tangled Princess!
