Happy Friday!!

This is the kids first week back at school after Christmas Break and I feel like its been a crazy week of running and doing things. Glad its Friday!

Its hard to believe there is only about 5 weeks until Valentines Day, I already feel like 2012 is whizzing by! So today I wanted to highlight some of my favorite Valentines Designs that we have available now for ordering on our website www.hannahstutus.com. I love any occasion that I can do creative things for a party I already have planned the little things I am making for my 1st graders and Preschoolers Class Parties I'll show those ideas perhaps next week.

Good Morning Followers:

I know I have already started to pin ideas from cards, kids party set ups and favors for Valentines Day. So I wanted to share this sweet tutu picture with you today.

Giveaway week of August 9th thru Sunday 15th

Well as the summer comes to a close we will only have a few more weekly giveaways BUT

we will still do specials and giveaways once a month or so. It's been fun and this week I decided to change it up to a bright and fun tutu before the last few giveaways (which are Halloween sets!!)

Our cupcake splash Tutu was created to match a 1st Birthday set that Target offers online

one of my good friends was having her little girls party done in this theme so I took the napkin and created.. then of course asked my friend Kerry to make an adorable set of bloomers to match...

So after we created we decided to have Misty at http://www.mistyjonesphotography.com/ shoot some shots of this set and offer it. The tutu features red - purple - yellow - and teal.. so quite a different mix of colors its finished with a red bow. The size we have for the lucky winner is a 18.5 starting waist with the 8/9 length.

This adorable tutu would be great for any little girl in the 1-2 yr range

(give or take depending on their waist size)

Giveaway week of August 2nd thru August 8th!!

Are you ready for Fall?

I know I am! I love the fall - I feel like we have been stuck inside all summer

between the chicken pox invading my home and these hot hot days we

haven't gotten out too much (our little red headed baby sure isnt a fan of the heat)

So I am ready for cooler days so I can get outside with the kids

and let them run some energy off.

Not to mention the Fall is one of the best time to do photos in my opinion,

trees changing, pumpkin patches, just love it.

As we finish up our summer of giveaways we will do a few different giveaways

to help our customers get into Fall and Halloween!

This week I am giving away a Sweet Fall Tutu as shown in the beautiful
pictures by http://www.tracyjoy.com/ its a 18.5 starting waist and a 8/9 length

The winners are...

Thanks to all that participated... we only have a few giveaways left for our summer giveaway time so if you haven't tried to enter yet - its not too late. I'll be posting the next giveaway later today!!

Last week we asked you to submit ideas for either a witch tutu or fairy tutu - to complete the look we said we would include a pair of wings and/or witch hat to match for the winner ~ the winning person gets their look created for them (within the limits of our supplies on hand). So I look forward to creating a set for each of these winners based on the idea they presented with what I am able to do!

This week I choose to have 2 winners, 1 selected randomly by http://www.random.org/ and the other selected with the help of one of my favorite photographers (http://www.mistyjonesphotography.com/).

Congrats to our winners, I will be contacting you within the next day to get some sizing details so be sure to measure those little ones waists, the winner can have a tutu up to a 20 inch starting waist and max length of 10/11. Winning custom items will take up to 14 business days to be made along with 3 addtl days to ship to you.

Our random winner is:

Poster #13 (rem our instruction post counts as post #1) A Lyons...
My second idea would be a rainbow sherbet fairy. Tutu with lemon and a hint of hot pink and citrus tulle. Tutu could also be embellished with ribbons in those colors as well. Wings in lemon with some sparkle in them.

Our selected winner for their idea is:

Poster S Bailey ...
Idea - My favorite flower is the Stargazer Lily so I would base a Lily Fairy on this - the tutu would have dusty rose tulle and white for the petals. Maybe a few lemon pieces for the stamen and depth. Pink wings and of course of lily on a headband.

Congratulations to all there were many many great ideas!!

Lets design a witch for...

I know you have probably been waiting all day for me to post the winner for the Design a witch tutu giveaway we did this week! I am a little behind on things this week and today, because a few days ago one of my kids broke out... what started as a few spots on the face evolved to spots all over and a chicken pox diagnosis. They "say" if you get this and you have had the vaccine it "should" be milder, well his face is absolutely covered and all the rest of his body. So my 3 yr old is a little miserable and this is also preventing me from getting into my studio as much as I normally do (dont worry its a NO chicken pox zone!!). Anyway it shouldnt affect make times .. they may be at the longer end of the range for the next week or two ..but since we can't go anywhere I'll probably try and work in the studio some extra this weekend to help with the work time I am missing to snuggle with the unhappy boy. Just hoping my 7 mth old doesn't show up with this (he isn't old enough for the vaccine) ... and hopefully it will skip Hannah. We have laughed and said our luck will be on day 8 of Mr C's another child will start with it, then on day 8 of that just when we think we can escape to public again another child will get it.

So needless to say I am normally answering replys right away and have been a little ahead of the make time but this unexpected sickness is slowing me down a little.

I definetly had fun reading all the witch ideas.. many were elaborate the giveaway was for a custom witch tutu you pick the colors and ribbons ideas (so there were many ideas that went into more detail with extras that I just don't keep around so if your idea is choosen the tutu will be made as close to the idea within the parameters of what we have supply wise and what the giveaway stated as far as design (you pick colors and we do the ribbons) also many gave elaborate design ideas for the witches hats again I'll try and make as close for the winner but the giveaway does state it will be made to match the tutu colors with our fancy look that we normally do so some things I will not be able to do with the supplies we keep at hand... just wanted to mention since there were definetly some amazing ideas but Halloween supplies are so hard to keep in stock that every year I decide on specific designs/items to offer and thats what I offer .. with living 30-45 + minutes from most stores I don't always have the luxury to special shop for designs (like I used to) now that I have 3 little ones and work this business full time... so I hope the winner will love what I design based on their idea posted).

We also had to delete a few entries - if they weren't posted as the blog and discussion rules mentioned to be fair and not have extra entries we had to delete :(

So the winner chosen from http://www.random.org/ this week is:

Facebook Discussion Post #12!!!.....................Chris Colbert-Kelly

The idea posted was:

My first and favorite idea is a Sassy Witch. She would have the shades mostly of Hot Pink but also Black, Lavender and Melon. top it off with Polka Dot ribbons! Her hat would consist of tulle and Polka Dot Ribbons and a Big Hot Pink Bow!! Sassy and Classy!

We will be contacting you shortly for sizing please remember the tutu can be made to any waist size 20 inches or less and up to a 10/11 length !!!

Thanks to all that entered our next giveaway will be posted shortly and well we only have a few more weeks of giveaways so now more than ever you will want to keep up with what we have in our giveaway since there will be a Halloween set with matching bloomers and a fall tutu with matching bloomers and a few more cute items to be won over the next few weeks.

Check out the new exciting giveaway!!!

I make it no secret that I LOVE Halloween ... me and my kids are already talking on a possible family costume .. one child likes to say we will be the Incredibles ... I am not opposed but I certaintly have a hard time envisioning me and my husband wearing a unitard for the evening.. one wants us to be all Star Wars people .. another the characters from Yo Gabba Gabba.. I am undecided last year we waited until the last minute and I was putting together the final touches for my husbands Scarecrow costume and my mean witch (I was VERY pregnant and a witches dress was about the only costume easier enough to accomodate my large belly) on Halloween day.. I have to say our costumes will probably be done last minute again this year. (Ironic, as I tell my customers order early to avoid the rush....)

My favorite costumes this year are all the little witches I am offering, I LOVE making witches we are offering about 7 or so witches designs .. BUT customers can also custom create their own witch look all I need to know is the colors you want and I can make a set perfect to your little girls color preferences. So don't feel as though you are bound to the colors of the witch sets I show .. if you want to create your own look always feel free to email me info@hannahstutus.com .

So this week the giveaway is going to be pretty BIG!!! I kept going back and forward and decided that so many of our fans and customers love the witches .. that ...

We needed to do a witch giveaway!!! YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT... SO HERE'S THE DETAILS ...

Think of how you would like to see a little witch done (colors) do you want just fancy ribbons or the modern big polka dot ribbons the mod witch set offers... then we want to know ... all posts must be made in our discussions area on facebook. We will then custom create the winning witch idea for that person ... the tutu can be custom made up to a 20 inch waist and up to a 10/11 waist. We will make a witches hat to compliment the look of the witch tutu for the winner..

**Please note that the witches hat will be made to compliment the look with flowers and greenery tulle and ribbons only.

THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE GIVEAWAY!!!

{TUTU PHOTOGRAPHER FEATURE} Miklus Photography located in Virginia

This week'd feature photographer I met through a very good mutual friend of ours, Chris. Our sweet friend, Chris that did many of my photos passed away earlier this year after battling cancer for years. She is missed by so many, but she also brought many people together through her friendships with many many fellow photographers. Just a week or two ago Karen posted a picture that I loved and we both had to comment on how it reminded us of our friend Chris and a picture she would of taken. So I am pleased to feature Karen of Miklus Photography this week. I love looking at the fabulous pictures she takes and she's been a customer of mine for several years.

Featuring Miklus Photography

How did you find yourself in photography?
I've grown up around photography. My uncle is an amazing photojournalist
and he was always taking pictures of his nieces and nephews as we grew
up. As an adult I look back at the images he took of family members and
it strikes me at how he didn't just take a picture, he captured the
essence of his subjects. You could look into that image and be
instantly transported back to the time and place that image was taken;
even though that person was no longer with us, because of that image you
could still feel them. I wanted to do that too. I wanted to capture
memories, snippets of my life so that I could go back and remember a
time that had already passed. I started with shooting places I visited
and then began shooting the children in the family, including my own.
Showing the relationship between my daughter and all her cousins was
very important to me. As an elementary school teacher, I loved
photographing my students interacting with each other. After the birth
of my second daughter, my husband encouraged me to merge my love of
children with my love of photography. I became hooked! Here I could do
what I loved...playing and interacting with children. I could spend my
time capturing those precious moments in time and preserve so that one
day their parents could look back and "feel" that time again and again.

What is your specialty?

My specialty is children and maternity. Maternity images are so
magical, invoking strong emotion. I love documenting that special
miracle taking place within a woman and helping her to feel as beautiful
as she truly is. Children are just wonderful to work with! I love
spending my time playing with them and capturing that special smile or
look that is the essence of that child...the look that makes mom say,
"That's my baby." When I get that response, I am thrilled because to
me, that's what it's all about.

Do you prefer to shoot indoors or out?
I love the control that I have working in my studio...I'm comfortable
there. However, I love the excitement and spontaneity of an outdoor
shoot. Allowing children to just be themselves in an outdoor
environment is so much fun for me...I can really see their personalities
shine. I love finding the perfect setting to create a really original
image fitting to the subjects personality and I love the sparkle that
natural light creates...it's beautiful and the colors are amazing!


Do you have any tips for aspiring photographers?

Keep shooting! If you love photography the best way to learn and grow
is to keep on shooting. We are our own toughest critics, but don't be
afraid to push yourself to try new things and to keep improving.


What do you like about Hannah's Tutu's?

What's not to love about Hannah's Tutu's! The colors and designs are
wonderful! Looking at Hannah's Tutu's is like a child looking through
the window of a candy store where each colorful treat looks more
delectable than the next!
The quality cannot be beat...they are so well made and lux...no other
tutu's can compare.
Last, but not least.....Lisa's customer service is wonderful...she works
hard to provide her clients with outstanding customer service and it is
very much appreciated ;)


Thanks so much Karen, for taking the time to let us feature you this week!

On a side note this week we took a different approach to our giveaway and let fans/followers enter on our facebook page rather than our Blog .. the majority of feedback we rcvd on the page and from messages was that our fans like the giveaways on the Facebook page it was easier.. I am certaintly all about easy I have a crazy life trying to work full time .. juggling 3 kids that are all very young .. and keeping up with everything else..

So this week's giveaway post will try out a new entry location ... we will try a few options out and make a final decision. I want the giveaways to be fun and easy for all so be sure to send me a message post on here on the facebook page or email me and let me know your opinion ..

Our new giveaway will be posted shortly with some more great information on how you the customers and fans can determine the amount of the gift certificate we will put in the giveaway the week of Hannah's 5th Birthday!

Thanks to all that entered this week and to all those new fans, customers,

we certaintly appreciate you!

If you are a customer of mine .. there is no doubt that you have looked at our Birthday Bash design and ohh and ahh'ed over it. This design has been our best seller for years... last year Renee submitted a sweet picture to me of the Birthday Bash design to use I just loved it!!! This year Renee has shot several other designs for us, such as the Sweet & Sour Lollipop Tutu and we have several new designs that she's working on photographing currently (I can hardly wait to show off!) So keep an eye out for more of Renee's pictures on our sites!

Now a little bit about Renee....

How did you find yourself in photography?
I have always had a camera, always the one wanting to capture those memories. Well after I had kids my passion grew...people started making comments and asking me to take pics for them, and so I am here.

What is your specialty?

I would say babies and kids.

Do you prefer to shoot indoors or out?

I much prefer outdoor natural light.

Do you have any tips for other aspiring photographers?
If this is your passion, don't give up keep practicing and learn from your mistakes. It doesn't have to be perfect, to be beautiful.

What is your favorite thing about Hannah's Tutus?

The tutu's are the best! So full, extremely well made and the color mixtures just stunning. Lisa is super sweet too.

Any other tad bits you want to tell us about...

little known fact..I love photography so much, I have a tattoo of my first SLR.=)
