Bell Minor Nursing Home: Christmas Visit

On December 15, an amazing group of Queens and Alternates gathered together for a few hours to visit the residents at Bell Minor Nursing Home in Gainesville, Georgia! Each child made at least 20 crafts to bring!

Our Queens and Alternates with Director, Ashley Johnson
It is so hard for some of us to understand why doing these nursing homes visits are so special and important. Many of the residents are at these homes, alone all year with very few or no visitors at all. Most of them LOVE children. Their little faces just lit up when they saw all these beautiful girls! The coordinator at Bell Minor actually allowed us to meet in the dining area, where they gathered a lot of the residents so we didn't have to just go door to door. This way, the kids were able to talk, hug and sing Christmas Carols! Afterwards, we did go door to door to see the residents who maybe couldn't make it down to the dining area or who were just hanging out in their rooms. 

It was more than touching to see some of the residents just sitting in their wheelchairs, staring at all the goodies they were given. One lady had tears in her eyes and told the girls that they had given her her first Christmas card, and it may very well have been her only one. 

I saw several girls transform from being nervous and scared to being warm, loving and caring. Those same girls who were nervous are now already making crafts for our Valentine's visit! Lives are changing in every direction!


All our Mamas! 
 I am so thankful to Sabrina, the coordinator and to Brianna, who works there also. Brianna explained to the girls why their visit was so special and how they performed a Biblical act by doing what Jesus has commanded. In a way, that day, they took care of the sick and elderly. Made my heart burst with love and appreciation.
Brianna talking with all the girls and explaining why their visit was so important. 
We come into this world as babies, and we leave this world as babies. Thank you to ALL who had a part in this day. It's etched in the hearts of many forever!

1st Annual Miss Beauty in the Barn: A Christmas Pageant

On December 9, 2012 Natural Elegance hosted its First Annual Miss Beauty in the Barn. I will say the atmosphere at this pageant was like none other. Everyone is getting acquainted to how things go and it was truly like a family atmosphere. Very laid back and no drama, as usual! I was SUPER nervous about this one only being because I had a TOTAL of 2 hours to set up completely....that is not good for someone who likes to decorate! With the help of some awesome people, we got it done and it looked amazing! 

Our setup! 

Every, little detail

The awards were stunning. Countless hours of budgeting and getting every little detail perfect. I wanted to make these awards unbelievably special for Christmas! We had 3.5 inch and 5 inch gorgeous round crowns, velvet sashes with metallic gold embroidery, velvet and fur capes and custom trophies! All of them were purely amazing!
5 inch Full Round Crowns for Supremes

Thick Velvet Sashes

I'm so glad I chose Jaemor Farm Barn for this venue. We will be having it here every year! Perfect size for 3 subpageants and the setup was just adorable! The kids were able to play in the loft and perfect room for them to dance and have a good time!
