BOOK WORM ANGELS AND BARNES AND NOBLE

I am really excited to have this event!!!  I hope you can participate!  It is for a great cause!! On February 12, Barnes and Noble has agreed to donate a portion of proceeds on purchases made with our code number to my favorite charity, Book Worm Angels.  I want to get everyone in the local area to come and meet local authors, buy their books, get their autographs - and by doing that - it raises money for Book Worm Angels!  YAY!!

What is even more exciting is that if you cannot come to our Barnes and Noble Event on February 12, you can order on line for the next 5 days, use that code and it STILL raises money for Book Worm Angels!

We will also have a coloring contest for gift cards and we will have photo opportunities!  It is going to be great!  Please come and support Book Worm Angels!  If you are able to read this, thank a teacher and groups like Book Worm Angels!

Love,
Peyton

Miss America Pageant in Las Vegas

January 20, 2002

Wow!  The Miss America Pageant was absolutely AMAZING!!  I cannot believe that I was able to watch Miss Wisconsin crowned as the 91st Miss America.  All of the state queens were so smart, soooo beautiful, and sooo talented!  I was really honored to be there and be a part of it.  I even got to stand on the stage in my crown and banner!  We started the day with my a brunch with my sister National Queens.  It was awesome getting to know them.  We are going to have such a great year!  I am so excited!

We toured Las Vegas and went up the Eifel Tower! It looks just like the one in France!  I was able to pet a lion cub!  Her name was Coco and she was sooo soft!  I loved New York, New York and the Paris Hotel the best.  We walked for miles and my legs really hurt!


One of the highlights of the weekend was seeing Ciara, Miss Oregon Jr. Pre-Teen.  We became friends right away at nationals and the more time we spent together in Las Vegas, the more fun we had!  I am so thankful to have met her and become such good friends!

Make sure to check out the NAM Blog where my dad was featured!  That is really cool to see him there!  The website is:  http://www.namissrocks.blogspot.com/

That is all I have for now!  Make sure to check back tomorrow night for details for my Book Worm Angels event!

Love, Peyton :)

Upcoming events

Please mark your calendars for Sunday, February 12, 2012.  I will be at the Barnes and Noble in Vernon Hills (Hawthorn Mall) in the early afternoon with some of our local authors.  Proceeds from all sales will benefit Book Worm Angels.  Hopefully we will also get to see some of our local "celebrities", too!!!  More details to come, so check back here often, BUT SAVE THE DATE!!!!

Looking forward to going to, oh, I don't know, LAS VEGAS in 2 weeks!  I will be at the Miss America Pageant with my mom and dad, as well as some other NAM royalty.  I hope I have the chance to meet some of the older girls competing!  How fun would that be?

I also get to fly to Houston, Texas, in February to do a national photo shoot for NAM.  So excited!  Although I have been to Texas before, I have never been to Houston.  They might do things BIG in Texas, but they don't know what they are in for when I get there!!!  I promise to post lots of pictures.

TTFN - Peytie!

Coming Soon!

Welcome to my blog page!  You will get a great view of my year as the National American Miss Jr Pre-Teen Queen for 2011-2012.

Mostly, I will provide this page to list all of the ways we can use our small voices as kids to make a big difference in the world around us.  YOU CAN HELP!  I will make a part of this blog page specifically for you to post how your small voice makes a difference where you live!  It will be fun!

So stay tuned for some fun pictures and keep your calendars ready for the events we will list!  It's going to be a great year!
