On September 29th I got an
idea as I was planning out the
kids Halloween costumes.
Maybe people would hire
me to make their children's
costumes? I had received
many compliments
last year on their
Tin Man and Dorothy
dresses so I thought it was
worth a try.
Without even consulting Jared,
in about 30 minutes I came up
with the name "Tutus By JuJu"
and photoshopped the name
on last years picture.
One month and about 75
orders later I am resting
after the busiest
month of my life!
I have no skin left
on my fingertips,
Band-Aids cover my
hands from cuts,
and I have a couple of
holes in my carpet due to the
ribbon burner!
I have learned many things
to do and NOT to do for next year.
Main thing, start taking
orders in July and
do not take any orders after
October 1st! :)
The girls have had so
much fun modeling
the costumes!
It soon became a game to them.
Although I only posted the
pretty pictures
there are many
pictures where the
girls are playing
"model" or just
being plain silly!
Below are just a few
of my favorites!
Isla calls these her
"model" poses!
The girls had so much
fun in their "Roll Tide"
& "Auburn Stinks" costumes!
Miss Priss and
her favorite
Hello Kitty!
Isla's favorite this year
was the Mermaid!
I think my favorite
was Strawberry Shortcake!
I'm pretty sure it was Tinkerbell
that made Isla decide
she was going to get silly
with this modeling gig!
Isla said she was flying away!
We had to take a last minute trip to
Dallas during October.
Cousins Julianna and
Johnna Katherine
were able to join in
on the tutu fun!
Nixon acting like a Peacock!
Isla "clowning around"!
Baby sister did not enjoy the
modeling as much.
But she was soo cute!
I am very blessed to have had this
opportunity. It has and is truly a
blessing to my family!
I am happy the girls have such a
good time helping out.
I look forward to making indians,
reindeer, and snowmen this next month!
Julia, you are so talented and just so precious. I'm glad to call you my friend, and my sister x2! :)
