Dress Up - September......

.....Just about made it in time for September's Dress!!
Wow, we are now on
Dress #9
for Margaret's Wonderful Dress-Up challenge!
-oOo-
I had so many ideas for this month's frock
...but a school theme won!!

-Inspired by the quietness left by all my 3 sons returning to School, College and Uni after the long and busy Summer Holidays!-
Even, Barney is missing the boy's noisy antics!!
-oOo-
Anyway, here is my September Dress.....

I had this fab school themed paper in my stash,
(I just love the little faint children images and school-like handwriting).
Distressed it a little and added some gingham ribbon. rik rak, lace, abc letters and lots of lovely buttons!
-oOo-
Only 3 more dresses to go now!
...and I really must make a little wardrobe to store my collection of outfits!
Now, pop over to Margaret's blog to see all the other
Stunning September Costume Creations!
Thanks for Looking!

You are so good at these dresses, I love the school themed one, the paper is gorgeous and very unique. Love all the embellishments too and the ribbon is gorgeous. A fantastic piece. Hope Barney is ok, my little girl is hyper at the moment. Have a good day, Tracy Evans x

Talk about just making it! I think I just made it in time to leave a comment in September (at least it's still September in my time zone).

Your dress is so school oriented. I love the little school related vignette you set the dress in, too. That attention to detail makes it extra special and sweet. I really love this dress.

I just wanted to say that in addition to your amazing dress, I love your matchboxes!!! Do you put toys inside of them? Or are they for decoration? They look darling!!!
