Crowning Touch Trunk Show

Last year I purchased all of my wardrobe from the Crowning Touch. Swimsuit, interview suit and evening gown including the earrings! What a great selection they had. I highly recommend that all pageant ladies take the time to visit Crowning Touch on March 13 & 14. Time well spent. The Crowning Touch also donated my gown for Nationals and I have been nominated for best gown in a Mrs. Pageant for 2008! And, as you know, I made top 12! Many said it was because of evening wear. Without a doubt, I will be at the trunk show shopping for a gown to crown my successor!

Turn for the Judges

What a wonderful surprise and honor it was to see that I'd been nominated for the 2008 Best Gown award!!! I am truly touched! The gown I wore at nationals was part of the gift package as Mrs. New Jersey 2008 and was donated by our sponsor The Crowning Touch.

A Note to the 2009 Contestants in the Mrs. New Jersey United States Pageant

My Dear Mrs. New Jersey 2009 Contestant!

Lucky you! What an awesome and wonderful experience you have embarked upon. There are so many moments which will be forever lasting in your memories over the upcoming months.

This past year has been so overwhelmingly gratifying I cannot even put it in words. This wonderful journey began in 2007 as I watched Heather Cunningham being crowned Mrs. New Jersey United States 2007...a very deserving reward. Being a contestant in 2007 was such a great experience, there was no doubt I wanted to enjoy being a contestant again in 2008! Thanks be to God I was afforded the opportunity.

Whomever becomes Mrs. New Jersey United States 2009 will have a year beyond imagination filled with moments beyond compare. Tears are in my eyes as I type this note to you...having lived this experience. We all have the commonalities of life to live, but life is so much more rewarding when you live your dreams!

Thanks must go to Michelle and Christopher, our wonderful Directors. For, if it were not for them, we would not be at this amazing place in our lives.

I wish all of you the best of luck on May 24th. Of course, there will only be one Mrs. New Jersey United States 2009! But, all of you will have had one of the best experiences of your lives!
