I've Been MIA

Hello Bloggy Friends!  I am so sorry I've been gone for the past two weeks.  I had surgery last week and am finally getting around to catching up on things!  Whew, being unable to care for your family and get your normal chores done is hard on everyone.  My boys are definitely happy that mom is back in the kitchen!

Anyway, I am back to work and looking forward to a successful holiday season.  I am planning on coming up with a few super cute holiday tutus.  Let me know what Christmas color combos YOU'D love to see :)!

How Cute is This?!

This little girl has a super nice mommy that entered into one of my giveaways and won the tutu of her choice.  She chose Lemon Burst and as you can see by the look on her face, I think she is in love with her new tutu bug tutu!!  I try to do giveaways once a quarter, so look for the next one in early January, as I just finished my last giveaway a few weeks ago :).

I just finished the trilogy, Humger Games by Suzanne Collins.  Wow!  That is the only one word phrase I can think of that *attempts* to sum this series up and that doesn't even come close to describing how unique, interesting, creative and just plain GOOD these books are!  I tried to summarize this book to my mom the other day and she was like, "huh?!?" so I will leave it to the publishers over at Scholastic to explain it better:

'Twenty-four are forced to enter. Only the winner survives.

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Each year, the districts are forced by the Capitol to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the Hunger Games, a brutal and terrifying fight to the death – televised for all of Panem to see.



Survival is second nature for sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who struggles to feed her mother and younger sister by secretly hunting and gathering beyond the fences of District 12. When Katniss steps in to take the place of her sister in the Hunger Games, she knows it may be her death sentence. If she is to survive, she must weigh survival against humanity and life against love.'



HAPPY READING!!!
