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!!!

YOU CAN EARN UP TO 3 WITCH IDEA ENTRYS..

(1) First Witch Idea - every fan gets one entry to posting an idea... so feel free to post one idea....

Get Ready for a Summer Packed of Fun!!

SUMMER TIME SPECIALS, GIVEAWAYS, PHOTOGRAPHER FEATURES AND CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAYS!!

This summer in an effort to start committing myself to posting on my blog and offering loyal customers specials,giveaways, info and links I am making a blogging schedule. I am hoping to keep to this schedule and have fun doing so. Blogging doesn't come easy to me I'll be the first to admit I hate to write - I always did in school I am a drawing person - a creative person and well my grammar isn't always the best.

So here is the summer schedule ... so take a moment and sign up to be a reader of my blog WHY? because I don't want you to miss out on special coupons, some FREE giveaways and neat birthday ideas I plan to share this summer.

This FRIDAY I will start my first giveaway of the summer - so get signed up before then to find out what you can enter to win!! EVERY OTHER FRIDAY WE WILL FEATURE A GIVEAWAY OR SPECIAL ALL SUMMER LONG!!!

In addition, make sure you are signed up soon as a follower, its hard to believe my Hannah turns 5 this summer it seems like yesterday she was just a little girl wearing tutus now shes growing up - to celebrate Hannah's Birthday and the business I will be doing a wonderful giveaway the week of her Birthday (which is this summer).

PLUS, I am looking for photographers that own some of my tutus!!! Every "Tuesday" I will do a "FEATURE TUESDAY POST" and feature a photographer - the feature will show some shots - talk a little about the photographer and why they choose to start taking pictures, etc. So email me today info@hannahstutus.com and title your message "FEATURE ME PLEASE" so I can plug you into a date and send you a list of cute questions for your feature.

I also want to share some of my favorite sites with you - having 3 kids under 5 I am always on the search for cute things and love to feature other business owners like myself hopefully once a week I'll have a new person to feature with their business so if you want to be part of this feature send me an email so I can chat about you on the blog.. I know for sure I recently have stumbled on to some cute sites for party stuff yes my little boy is 5 mths and I am ALREADY planning his 1st birthday theme I am "thinking" whales but I am not sold yet - carnivals and sweet shoppes catered to boys sure sound enticing (not because I want to eat all the candy). So I'd love to feature great places for favors, invites, tags, gifts and much more all summer for other moms like me that love to party plan.

Lastly, I get loads of adorable pictures sent in so I want to show those cute shots that moms, grandmoms, etc have gotten of little ones in tutus - just every day shots.. so customers that want to be featured email me a picture (note I do not list children's names on my web pages I will refer to the picture as Ms. H (first initial only). By sending your picture in to be featured I hope to perhaps do a little contest with customer featured photo's later this summer. I will try and do a feature once a week showing some of the cuties wearing tutus!
