Days Of Fun!

On Monday we met the director's daughters, Ella and Preslee.  Ella is ten and Preslee is thirteen.  We were shooting in the college library.  While the crew was setting up we played games, put together puzzles, and talked. That was the start of our friendship.

The next day I was sick, but Kylia and Zoie got to play some more with the girls.
   
Wednesday was really fun, and let me tell you why!  We got to the set and ate breakfast. Today we were shooting at a cemetery, and after breakfast we wanted to find a park.  We walked all throughout the cemetery to find the exit but we couldn't find one.  We asked a lady if she knew the way to the park.  She told us the way, and we found two parks, one was on the lake and had a beach.  We had a lot of fun making obstacle courses and playing in the sand.
   
Once we were done the crew was ready to head to the next location.  At the next location there was a pizza place right on the corner.  So we were sort of joking around and asked the girl's dad if we could have a pizza.  He said sure and asked what kind we wanted.  We said pepperoni and he sent some one to get us a pizza.  It was so good!
   
We played in the grass and the director (Ella and Preslee's dad) came up and told us that we were going to be extras in two scenes today.  We were so excited that we were going to be extras all together.  The first scene we were in was us walking out of an ice cream shop with our Auntie and walking around the corner.  Well, Zoie and Ella ran.  The Auntie had to motion them back this way and tell them not to run because we were near the street.  We couldn't talk, we had to mime everything. That was what we were supposed to do if you were wondering.  We had to do it about six times.  The second scene was us playing tag on the grass in the background without talking or laughing.  It was fun!  After those scenes we took Ella to our house and watched a movie.  It was a fun day!
   
Thursday was fun too! To start the day we went to a paint your own pottery place with Ella and Preslee.  I painted a plate, Ella painted a sign that says dream, Preslee painted an elephant piggy bank, Zoie painted a lady bug, and Kylia painted two other little trinkets. While my mom was doing laundry at a lady's house one day she was talking to the lady's brother in-law.  He said that we could

come over and learn about bees and go kayaking.

So we decided it would be fun to bring our friends. After that fun little outing at the pottery place we went kayaking and learned about bees.  We got to stick our finger in the actual honey comb and taste the honey.  It was the best honey I have ever tasted. We jumped off of his pier and kayaked in his kayaks.

 We went back to set and painted our nails with the American Flag colors for the Fourth of July.

 Then we played at the park and made more obstacle courses.  It was a fabulous day.

Action!

Today was our first day on the movie set!  We got to base camp for breakfast around 9:00 a.m.  Base camp is the place where all the actors and actresses get ready. There are trailers for hair and make up, wardrobe, and the main actors and actresses get their own trailer to relax in.  

Since my sisters, mommy, and I were going to be extras today we needed to get our outfits all put together.  After we were all ready we hopped on the shuttle and drove to the set.  They didn't need us for a while but we got to watch and see how they make a movie. After each scene the crew had to get set up for the next scene.  So while the actors and actresses rested we stood in for them so the crew could get all the sound, lighting, and cameras set up and where they needed to be.  We were simply standing and talking to each other.  It was fun to be a stand-in.  

After that it was time for us to get into our position and understand what we were supposed to do for our extra part.  We needed to play behind Ava and Ben while they talked and met for the first time.  We had to do several takes to get just what the director wanted and to make sure all the actors, actresses, and extras did the right thing.  It was hot and humid so we were hot and sticky.  It is hard to pretend to play. :)  Mommy was Ava's mom's double. Which means mommy had to do the part since the real actress couldn't be there.  She would walk down some steps and say, "Ava, dinner."  She did a good job.  After that we headed to lunch.  I got to sit next to Caige on the shuttle, the girl that plays Ava.  She is very nice and talkative.  She is only six years old and is a very good actress.  It was fun talking to her.  After lunch we went home.  We liked being on the set and helping out.  

                               That's me being a stand in.

Fundraiser's Going Great!

Hi everyone!

I've been having great success with my fundraiser.  I sold enough scarves to pay for registration and the first month.  I got my uniform, warm ups, and a bag ordered.
   After one of my soccer games, I was delivering a scarf to my coach.  We shared what we were doing with a few other parents on the team, and by the end of the day we had sold five scarves!!  It was amazing! God is good!  

      I had my first practice in my new league yesterday and it was fun.  I like my coaches and I am excited for this soccer season.  

       I am going to be at church on Sunday with samples and order forms.  If you haven't heard about my fundraiser go to the post that is titled "Fundraiser for Soccer!"  
      Sequins are back on the list!  We have had a lot of interest in them and so I found a way to make them longer. They are still not as long as the other ones, but make a beautiful scarf.  Here are some pictures of different colored scarves we have recently finished.

Black and White Sequins, Blue Variegated, Pink Variegated

Purple Variegated

Order Scarves On Sunday!

Hi everybody!
        My fundraiser for soccer is going great.  I'm still taking orders for the scarves.  I'm going to bring a sample to church on Sunday, and you can order there if you want.  You can still order whenever you want, I'm just going to be at church if you wanted to order in person. :)
       I'm getting really excited for my first soccer practice.  I met my coach and I know a few girls on my team.  I can't wait to start this new adventure!
      Here are the colors for the scarves:
Variegated: Pink, Dark Purple, Neutral Colors, Blue, Red, Silver, Gold, Purple and Yellow!
Silver Lining: Red, Blue, Black, Green!
Metallic: Silver, Gold, Blue!
I took off the sequins because they were a little short.
       (If you haven't heard about my soccer fundraiser go to my post that is called:
"Fundraiser For Soccer!")
       I had my first delivery a few days ago and it was fun!  Here's some photos!  Enjoy :)
   

I wrote bible verses on tags to attach to the scarves.  I prayed and got verses for that one person.                             

New Scarves!!!

Hi everybody!!

We're making great progress on our scarves!  If you want to order one we are still taking orders.  If you have not heard of my soccer fundraiser you can go to my last blog and it will give you all the details.  Here is a picture of two scarves that I have been working on.  The one on the left is black & white sequins and on the right is the blue sequins.  For those of you who have already ordered, thank you so much!  

     The one below, that I am wearing, has been one of our best sellers.  It is the pink variegated.  

     My TC coach said that I have to juggle the soccer ball 25 times in a row before our first practice.  So I have been practicing.  (Normally, without the scarf. :))
