ChunkyMonkeyBumz TuTu {+Review+}

ChunkyMonkeyBumz is my new Etsy Store (YAY!), and I make a variety of children's things, and crafting things. I have some scrapbooking layouts, and some reusable wipe, and my favorite, the TuTu's!

My Tutus have an elastic waist, that is either 3/4 in or 1 in thick, with D rings to keep it together. The elastic to to ensure that the tutu is not too tight on your little one, and so it is adjustable so it grows with them! It is also made so the extra elastic can be hidden in the tutu so it's not noticeable. This all makes it better than the one size tutu's. I would have to say that these tutu's are PERFECT for 12 months-8 years.

D Rings and Elastic

The Tulle that these are made with are longer for better twirling, and the colors are coordinated perfectly. I can also make custom tutu's. I love all things for little girls, and hope someday to have a girl of my own.

I have several different "stock" styles that I have, and are ready to be shipped.

Styles:

Rockstar

Ocean

Princess

Go Green- Rainforest

Now, This is my adorable cousin Carly modeling my tutu's! She is in dance, and absolutely Loves these!

She is modeling the Princess Tutu in the First Photo and the Ocean Tutu in the 2nd Photo!

Please look at our Etsy Store: ChunkyMonkeyBumz for Affordable, durable Tutus!

Zodiac Signs Changing is Good for the Hubby & I!

I used to be a Gemini & Hubby used to be a Aries...Now I am a Taurus and he is a Pisces

Taurus and Pisces love compatibility:

This usually is a very happy combination. Taurus is a strong, authoritative figure who can provide security and stability for vacillating Pisces. Trying to help Pisces make all of their dreams come true, tactfully and reliably encouraging them, a persevering Taurus can achieve all what he wants from these relationships. Success of their sexual harmony depends on the Taurus. These two can share a great deal of their appreciation for beauty, art, sensuality and just about any of the finer things in life. Pisces is easily clouded by emotion but can be brought to reality by Taurus' down to earth nature. Taurus can be helped to dream by the Pisces personality. There are good prospects for interesting affair as well as for healthy marriage.

Homemade Surprise for my WONDERFUL Hubby!

I decided tonight to make my husband a well deserved gift. He LOVES cookies, he is just a regular ole' cookie monster!

I found this recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies at Allrecipes.com and Changed the Chocolate Chips to Andes Mints chips! He Loves the Andes Mints, I can't wait til they are done, because of poor timing on my part he will smell them when he gets home from work before they are done, but hopefully he will LOVE THEM! I'll post a photo of the cookies when I am done!

Photo Edits-Winter Wonderland-The neighborhood Kids

Our neighbor has two little girls, ages 4 and 6. They are Jacob's best friends. Today they were out playing in the snow. I thought this was a great photo opportunity for me to get some practice on editing and photoshop. (I would LOVE to get the full version of Photoshop, but the trial will do for now.) My camera isn't the greatest, but it works, and thats why I need to edit! lol Enjoy!
