I don't know if I've ever told you, but I have got the CUTEST flower girl in the world. She is four (which, when you ask her, comes out more like "foe") and when she was younger, she was always like a little person... not so much a baby or toddler. She's tall and thin and LOVES to get dressed up and be pretty.
One of my favorite things has been finding and making little presents for her. It's so fun to find things for little girls who will just fall in love with the stuff that you give them. She already has a flower girl t-shirt that I made her (so she can be like the bridesmaids who all have shirts). I also got her a gift that I got all of the bridesmaids because I knew it would make her feel special to be like the "big girls".
I saw a super cute little flower girl camera on the Wedding Channel Store and go that for her. I wanted to get her one of those kids digital cameras, but they are just as expensive as the ones for adults!!! So, she's getting this super cute camera that has 35mm film, which I didn't even really know they still made...
I have also included my Flower Girl gifts as part of my DIY adventure... here are the things that I've MADE for my precious little flower girl...
Wedding day is going to be LONG, so I made her a coloring book to keep her busy during the "wait" parts of the "hurry up and wait" day...
I put pictures in that will help her follow what goes on throughout the day. Those are my shoes for her to color purple :-D
Like I said... she really likes to be dressed up and pretty, so I also had to make something that was one of a kind for her hair. I was thinking a flower headband or a cute little ribbon crown, but I found this video and fell in love with the end product, so I made here this...
ALSO, her dress is homemade (by J's mom) and it's coming back to Texas with Jason after his trip home this week, so there will be pictures SOON!!!!
SUCH great ideas!!!

Stephanie, I hope you see this/get an email about my reply. There are bunch of cute ones at http://www.fantasyjr.com/wedding-coloring-pages/ and for a lot of them, I just googled things like "wedding coloring page" or more specific like, "wedding cake coloring page. Then I just right clicked and use "Save Image As" and then put all of them in a word document. It was REALLY easy!
