Fun, Fall and a Giveaway!

Comments Now Closed!!! Stay tuned for the winner!

Update: As we come down to the last few days of the giveaway, I've decided to add a couple of new ways to enter!! Scroll down to the "ways to enter" and have a little "look see"!! Good luck!

------------------------------------------
Or, perhaps, more appropriately titled "A Fun, Fall Giveaway"!!! I am sooooo excited to announce a very cute giveaway that's been in the works for a bit!

Adrina, maker of the loveliest tutus, tutu sets, and tutu costumes (they are too, too cute!!) has graciously offered up a custom tutu costume (sheesh, say that five times, real fast!!) for a giveaway! Here's just a couple of samples:





Aren't they adorable?!! To be more specific, you can be (well, probably, your daughter, niece, granddaughter, cousin, friend, etc...not really you, you know?!) the proud new owner of one tutu costume of your choosing-any size up to a size 6x. The two above photos are just a sample-or you can design your own!!

Now, how exciting is that?!

So, here's the gig...

1. For one entry, leave me a comment, any old comment will do.

2. For two entries, visit Adrina's Etsy shop, "Happily Ever After Creations", and leave me another comment telling me which tutu costume is your fave.

3. For three entries, blog about this giveaway and link back to me!

New ways to enter:

4. For four entries follow my blog!

5. For five entries, follow me (5crookedhalos) on Twitter!!

(Make sure to leave me a comment for each of #4 and #5--to get your entry...and it you already follow me, let me know!)

Good luck!

    ReplyDelete
  72. Goodness, gracious! Those are some seriously cute little tutus!!! I am torn between a favorite....either the "spraypaint" outfit, a birthday outfit with their age, or the adorable ladybug/cupcake costume. Do I have to pick just ONE favorite? If that's the requirement for the second entry...I will have to say the ladybug! Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  73. oh my gosh, I don't even have to visit her site to tell you which one I'd pick ... the cat one on your blog!! That's EXACTLY what my 6 year old described to me, when she was telling me what she wanted to be for Halloween this year. I had already gotten a visual of myself shopping at JoAnn Fabric for the tulle, and broke into a sweat just thinking of it : )

    ReplyDelete
  74. Ooooh Fun! I'm sure Daisy could use one of those!

    ReplyDelete

Coming soon...

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

Crock-Pot Fajitas

You! Yes, YOU!! You must stop whatevertheheck it is that you are doing, and make this recipe. Right now. Tonight. Well...wait. You should probably finish reading this post first...you know...so you know how to make it... But then...STOP! STOP everything, make this, and thank me later! Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story ! And this story ...which, well...is the same story, just told two different ways! ;) So, you can thank her...I guess. Well, in any event...prepare your tastebuds to be tantalized! You'll need this: And, this: You'll also need chicken breasts or steak, but since photographing your "main ingredient" is, like, soooo passe, I've left it out. ( Ahem... ) Just keepin ' up with the times, friend. So...slice up those peppers and onions into cute little strips... And...try your best to not slice up the little fingers that are sneaking away pepper strips... (Lemme just inte
