    This is awesome! Your costume is fabulous- I'm so glad to see how it turned out. And thanks for sharing your experience at the festival- what a great reminder to push ourselves a little!

  2. This is just incredible. It has made me happy just reading it. Wonderful post! Been following this project from the get-go, and the photos still blow me away. Loved the part about kids'/people's reactions.

    You are amazing! The whole costume is quite delightful but your courage to repeatedly step outside your own box is inspirational! Thanks for adding a note of beauty, courage, and outrageous positivity to my day!

    I think people will be looking for The Flower Girl to show up at different events! And I admire your awareness and sensitivity for all sorts of possible reactions. Falling down- that would have been my biggest fear, too. Enjoyed the dressing up video.

    I love your writing about your fears and how you address them. Your costume is wonderful. I as a 50 something year old adult still fear people in costumes. Something about not seeing the eyes. I've been working on my fears over the years. I'm so glad you were aware of this and approached it in a calm and aware manner. Great job!
