Not that I underestimated you, I just didn’t think that many people would have the time to whip up so many gorgeous, handmade dress up items. They’re all done so beautifully too. Seriously, what talented ladies you are!

I had originally wanted to post pics of all the items as they came in but there were just wayyy too many. (which probably would have been boring at some point anyway, you must be getting tired of posts with “tutu” in the title) So instead I’m going to feature a few of the ones that came in (show & tell is always fun) and also give a list of thankyous. If I’ve missed your name please let me know, unless of course your tutu is in transit. I’ll go by the post office a few more times over the next couple of weeks & will send out the final shipment to the Princess Alexa Foundation on Aug 15th, that will give anyone who might have sent it out on the 31st a bit of time to get here.

So take a peek at these beautiful donations…I wish I could show them all but here’s a little taste.How gorgeous is the Snow White tutu Stephanie from Obella-roseo.blogspot.com made?! And those flower & fish tutus from Kathryn in Indiana, amazing! Stacia from “Little B & Me” made that adorable teapot tutu using Jess’ tutorial for the Dress Up Skirt. So did Katie in Kentucky, except she made 5, yes, FIVE beautiful skirts! Wow Katie. Wow.Elizabeth sent the most amazing box of polka dot dress up skirts & superhero capes with masks. How incredible are her sewing skills?? Seriously, I’m jealous. I somehow misplaced the name of who made the awesome packaging for her tutus, whoever you are you get a big gold star for creativity! (Sorry) Christy in Texas put together her own method for making these three beautiful white net skirts, so pretty! Brenda from Jersey Girls Treasure Box made this gorgeous green garden tutu along with um, EIGHT others! And some very lucky little girl is going to get that beautiful princess tutu & headpiece from Debra.This box blew me away when I opened it. Those are 11 bags of tutus with matching wands & superhero caps with masks. And my favorite part?? The capes are reversible from Superman to Batman! Seriously Dana & Karen, you are something special. I’m thinking an etsy shop at the very least. Bravo ladies!
This box of goodness is all from Michelle in Michigan, give yourself a pat on the back lady. (and your hands a rest from knotting all that tulle!)I thought Stephanie’s patriotic star tutus were a neat twist.
And all 8 of these gorgeous colored knotted tutus? From Kristen in Georgia. Incredible right?!

Carrie from Greenbean’s Crafterole sent the most amazing box of tutus with sweet butterfly wands. Look at the details she put into her 8 tutus too! Man, those little flowers are charming.

So there’s just a few, I so wish I could show more but this post is already getting super long. I do want to take a minute to say thankyou to each of you guys for your donations though if I haven’t mentioned you already. Also if you included a blog address or business card I linked to it below. I hope everyone will go look at everyone else’s blogs. Then we can all be a bunch of tutu obsessed blogging buddies. (:
