Im sure this wont mean anything to people not in the uk but esme sent a picture that she'd drawn into blue peter which is a long running bbc childrens programme, it was for comic relief and she drew a cartoon strip using all the comic relief red noses, anyway im sure they would have got thousands of pictures but on comic relief night esmes was shown on the tv ! then this week this letter arrived in the post along with a coveted blue peter badge !....when i was growing up i think it was every childs dream to get a blue peter badge and now esme has one !.....and in owning one she can now get into various uk attractions for free, things like alton towers, london dungeons etc.....so shes chuffed to bits !
she has though refused to have her photo taken wearing the badge , now aged 11 far too cool for photos !...so my no navel is showing it off....
i just thought id add these random next photos of my retro girls, stood together it just shows up more how pretty the one with the plaits is....i made these dresses this week and im not happy with either but they seem to suit these girls well......
Wow, huge Congratulations to Esme! Well done :-)
ReplyDeleteAs to your two retro girls, looking at them both together I really do think they are both wonderful each with their own look, neither prettier than the other just different, but very obviously friends... Their dresses look pretty great as well.
thankyou !!!! xxxx
DeleteCongratulations to Esme! Also to you for the retro girls' clothing, they are both pretty and their outfits are too.
ReplyDeletethankyou !! xxxx
DeleteWay to go Esme! You must be so proud! Really pleased for you!
ReplyDeletethankyou !!! xxxx
DeleteMany congratulations to Esme!! It's so exciting to get the letter and badge from Blue Peter, my daughter was thrilled when she got one - she's 30 now :-) How wonderful that Esme's drawing was shown on Comic Relief too.
ReplyDeleteI adore your retro girls, and their outfits, they are a stunning pair xxx
ooh mikki, how did your daughter get hers ? ive never known anyone that got one ! ...sarah x
DeleteLOL Oh gosh, I can't remember what she sent in, it was so long ago. I'll ask her, she's sure to remember :-) xxx
DeleteYey for Esme! I wish we could see the cartoon strip too!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the red boots! (and the hair on both girls- fabulous! How DO you do that? Wouldn't you like to sell us some /secrets/lessons/tutorials? ;)
Have a great weekend, Kirsten
i wish i could see the cartoon strip again too ! i wish id taken a photo but it was such a rush to send it off i didnt think.....
Deleteas for the girls and their hair, i think one girl looks a bit more fabulous than the other but i think its down to the fact that ones got a much nicer face than the other xxxxx
WELL DONE ESME!!!!! The coveted blue peter badge, what a prize.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter Lindsey did a picture of some Saturday morning puppet when she was about 9 , I cannot for the life of me remember which one , but they sent her a photo and a note to say it would be on tv but we missed it!! because we were travelling on holiday!!!!
Love your red haired No navel, is she new :)?
love your girls in the green and red.
im sure i said about the redhead , i bought her maybe a month ago from shellys...its the one with the dodgy arm ?.....shame you missed your daughters picture on tv....when esme was 5 she won a draw a dinosaur contest on channel 5, we knew nothing about it till the prizes arrived and id not watched the tv when they announced the winners as i had no idea esme would win !.ye of little faith ! (lol) xxx
DeleteI remember you saying about the red now, she is lovely, how many no navels now?
DeleteWell done Esme, it's well worth saying twice!!
5 dee including this one, 4 blondes 2 with brown eyes, 2 with blue....just need to add that sad looking brunette i want...there was a beautiful one on shellys but it wasnt to be but im sure ill be seeing more of her but just not in my house ! (lol) xx
Deletewell done Esme. my elder daughter got a Blue Peter badge with the whole of year 6 at her school when one of their classmates won a comp - the whole year group went to the studios and saw McFly perform a song with the words her friend had written and they helped with a cooking activity on screen - we still have the recording which features my girl wearing the sweater I had made. she used the badge for a few attractions and wears it to give her luck at every music exam. Make sure Esme gets the most out of the badge before she turns 16.
ReplyDeletewow...that seems to take the shine off esmes badge (lol).....how lovely for you to have the recording , i can just imagine how excited the class must have been....as for using the badge, being in cornwall we dont visit "civilisation" much to use it...but at the moment shes just happy to be wearing it everywhere she goes xxxx
DeleteWhat wonderful news! Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeletethankyou !!! xxxx
DeleteWell done Esme, what a super achievement you must be thrilled to bits!!
ReplyDeleteLike you Sarah, I never knew anyone who got a blue peter badge ... I used to watch it but I mostly liked the ones where they made furniture for Sindy dolls, my Mum was really good at making it all for me :) Can still see the sofa now in my mind!
Love, love your redhead no navel, what a beauty, she looks stunning in her white dress.
I think your retro girls are fab, I think they are both pretty & I love their dresses, can't see anything wrong with them at all, I think they're great! Cathy x
How wonderful for Esme to not only win a coveted Blue Peter Badge BUT to have her work shown on the TV as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, since the owner of the badge is too 'cool' to have her photo taken wearing it, to show it to us on your beautiful newish No-navel girl.
Loving your two re-root girls and their very smart retro dresses. Hopefully we might be seeing some of this style for sale sometime soon?
