2 weeks until NAM!!

We are so excited that NAM is two weeks away!!
 

 

We have been practicing our intro, working on our art contest, and resume. NAM offers a couple optional contests...art is one of them. They give you a regular size sheet of paper and divide it until 4 squares and the pageant girl has to draw something they love or their interests.

Art-Done!



Resume. Each girl has to fill out a form that acts as her resume. We've filled it out on a draft sheet so all we have to do is put it on the resume sheet provided. :) The answers to the resume questions help the judges when it's interview time.

Resume- Almost Done!



Another optional contest is the Best Thank You Note! We got this in the bag!

Thank You Card- Done!



In the mail the other day we received a package from NAM that gave information about video taping of the pageant. Let me tell you...pageants are not cheap! Once you get the Sponsor Fee taken care of...there's the dress, the shoes, the hotel stay, hair do, and of course the EXTRAS.



If you want the video....$$...if you want pictures by the red carpet...$. If you want to go to the workshop for pageant rookies...$.



FYI: The extras are how they get you! So have your money ready!  Just letting you know so you won't be surprised if you decide to pursue the pageant life!



But we are still excited and this will be an experience she won't forget! :)
