CanCan at Mom Most Traveled is hosting the Fall Blog Giveaway Carnival, so I thought I'd jump on board with a giveaway of my own.
The prize: One tutu of your choice from my Etsy shop
Who can win: Anyone, the world over
To enter: Leave a comment on this post, telling me which tutu you would like to win, and who you will give it to. You MUST do this to be eligible; I will delete any entry that does not follow these directions.
Extra entries: No need to subscribe to my blog or follow me on Twitter. I'd love it if you did, but I need something a bit more meaningful for those extra entries. Since my Etsy shop exists solely to support our charity, CARE Package, Inc., you will gain one extra entry for each dollar you donate to our cause. Simply paypal your donation to us at care_package@hotmail.com and leave a second comment below stating you did, and how much (or email it to me privately at melanie_odette@yahoo.com). Best of all, since we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Paypal doesn't deduct any fees for your donation, which is tax-deductible!
Drawing: The winner will be selected at random from all entries received at midnight EST this Friday.
Good luck!

Well, I know I just bought a few for Jen, but my little 4 year old neice is having a bit of a tough time coping with the fact that her parents split up about 1 1/2 mos. ago. I *know* she would love the "Cherries Jubilee" or the White and Aqua the best probably. Anything that doesn't have black really. I've spent hours thinking, crying, and praying about the situation. I wish I had the money to fly back there and spend time with the kids.
They were both in youth leadership at the church he worked for, and eventually it lead to a bad situation. Sis-in-law made some less than desireable decisions which led to her getting kicked out of the church and her husband kicked her out too and wouldn't let her have the kids. She only got to see her kids around 4 times after that, and now she is in a Christian "treatment center" through a church for 6 months in Maine. I know it's hard on the kids, especially the youngest to have her mom and girly influence (she is completely convinced she's royalty lol) so far away. Since they'll still be apart for Christmas I thought it'd be kind of sweet to help offer a little love from a mother-type figure.
As I said I feel slightly guilty entering the giveaway when we just bought a few for Jen, but we really can't afford to buy another right now. We ended up with an almost $200 charge from the pictures the company that came to the PX took a year and a half ago. And this is in the midst of preparing for our 8th anniversary, Jenica's birthday, and Christmas on an E-3 salary. I don't mean to throw a pity party, but that's my reasoning for entering this. If you like I can rephrase and reorganize this when I'm not half asleep. Now that I've shared TMI with everyone, I should go to sleep. I tend to babble when I'm tired so I'll shut my mouth now and go to sleep. Good night. If you feel that this doesn't live up to your standards feel free to delete it. I just knew if I didn't write something now I'd forget lol. So, really good night this time. :)

I've been a follower of your blog for a long time. My daughter would love a tutu. I am not able to purchase one because my husband is laid off, but it would be so nice to give her one. I really like the ivory, red and green one. I could even save it for christmas.

Hi, My name is Chad, I came across your contest and thought it would be cool to win the Medium Tutu - Red and Black for my daughter Mya. She just turned 1 but she is not too much smaller than my 2 year old kyle. Even if it didn't fit I would hang it it her room until it did. Thank you for the chance.

I've been following you for a while. I have three daughters, ages 9, 5, and 2.5. They love to look pretty and love to dress up, and any color they would love. Any at all. They are not picky. My dh and I are both in school, so money will be tight for a long long time. lol So my girls are not picky.

With christmas around the corner, I would give this to my cousin's daughter. She's 6 and I think she would look lovely in the Eggplant, Emerald and Ivory tutu.

If I won I'd pick the Medium Tutu, Extra Long - Red, Green, Ivory - Christmas. Then I'd buy one because I have two daugthers a year apart and with pretty things I have to treat them as twins.
