TUTU GIVEAWAY!

In honour of the CSN Stores review I’ll be doing (my change table arrived in the mail today! That’s a lot faster than I expected, we don’t have any room to set it up yet, but there’s my first part of the review… large items arrive quickly!) I am going to be giving something away, myself. I’d pretend to do a dramatic drumroll slash moment of suspense, except I’m pretty sure you all read that title already, so never mind. This giveaway is for this specific tutu! I would call this toddler-to-preschooler sized. It’s nearly ankle length on a two year old who has short legs like a one year old. Yup, that would be my kids sizing last year. I was kind of shocked this summer when I noticed she had legs. She’s in 3T pants now and as you can see, it’s below-the-knee to midcalf, depending on what you kiddo is doing. The elastic waist makes the sizing very flexible. You could put this on a five year old+ if you wanted to, it would just get shorter as you went along. Throw some leggings on and call it a day. (I’m partial to black and white striped leggings with a tutu. Love.) The above picture probably has the closest to real-life color representation. In person it’s a light purple tutu with shots of fuschia. If you’re looking at this for a photo prop, it will photograph as a hazy white-purple with shots of pink. I’ll note that that’s a silk scarf, not some long piece of TP. For the record. I’m sure you could care less about what she’s looking at and much more about how to win this tutu.

Click on the CSN Stores link and then do one of two things. Either:
A) leave a comment and tell me which piece of furniture you want on the site (very competitive pricing and free shipping on more expensive orders… especially tell me if you’re buying something so I can live vicariously through you, I love furniture!)
Or B) on the very top of the page, click on "View All 200+ CSN Stores.” Then leave a comment telling me which of the stores you’d be most likely to waste an hour or so browsing. Not that I ever waste time doing things like that.

To get twenty extra chances to win, come over and do all my laundry, including folding it and putting it away.

Don’t forget to make sure I can get ahold of you… if your comment is the one drawn randomly and your email address isn’t linked to your comment in some way, I’ll announce the winner and give them a week to contact me. If I don’t hear anything back, I’ll redo the draw.

CONTEST ENDS FRIDAY, JUNE 25, NOON CENTRAL TIME.

CONTEST IS OPEN TO ANYONE WITH A VALID MAILING ADDRESS IN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Okay, so, granted, I have a birthday party that I should be planning. And/or preparing for. And/or baking for. But, like all good crafters, when I have something important to do... I do crafts instead! ha. So, first we have what we will pretend is a before like you can't see that I started working on the bottom there already. And pity my wilty flowers. And now we have the after! Tadaa! The ribbon and trinkets are just to jazz it up a bit. Bling bling and all that. The idea for that part, by the way, comes from Inspirational Home by Jeanne Winters. If I had a more inspirational charm I would have used that, but I had been making a bunch of these blue and white things and decided to toss three of them on.
The jute is just from dollarama, and the vase was a gift but probably also from there by the looks of it ;) This takes a while, with a few bucks and a glue gun you can have a stylish vase! Good project for when you're watching toddlers "move it, move it!'

And more tulle came in today! I finished my tutu! I'm so tickled. DD is a busy girl, too, as you can see. Even a princess needs to mow her lawn, kids.

She is divalicious. She grabbed the sunnies and put them on herself. If you are curious about the extended broom, that would be her new boyfriend.

I am not the only busy girl around here, as you can see. "I love 'Cole!" he says.
