Similies and metaphors can not adequately describe the monumental event tonight. Alyssa, the lustrous pearl of my life, was accompanied by her date, Cori, to the prom downtown. Donned in a gown of cool black satin and flowing, silky chiffon, Alyssa was breathtakingly beautiful.

I can't choose, so all of the photos today are the Photo of the Day

It all started with a pattern.

Notions, fabric and pins EVERYWHERE and it ended up looking like a mess.

By the time I was finished, there was also a HUGE mess on the floor. So many black threads!!!!

Alyssa's eyelashes look perfect. I don't know how she can make the eyeliner line so straight.

The boutonnière and the corsage were made by Cori's mother, Heidi.
