We will be taking Christmas order from December 5th - 15th. Anything order by the 15th is guaranteed to be delivered by Christmas.<br />
<br />
As you may have noticed, our shop has been somewhat on the down-low this calender year. Between heart surgeries, a college graduation, internships (here and abroad), a destination wedding, competitive seasons and schedules in high school and beyond, and a wedding reception...there hasn't been much time for tutu making. But Christmas is here, and the time for tutus and Christmas pjs and jewelry making is upon us!<br />
<br />
In celebration of our reintegration into the Facebook and selling world, we are having a Christmas sale starting today and running for the next 10 days. Here are just some highlights:<br />
<br />
- <a href="http://2000tutus.blogspot.com/p/shop_26.html" target="_blank">all tutus are <b>25% off</b></a><br />
<br />
- <a href="http://2000tutus.blogspot.com/p/shop-clothing.html" target="_blank">custom flannel pjs</a> and Christmas tees are available for order one again<br />
<br />
- we have a <a href="http://2000tutus.blogspot.com/p/shop-auction.html" target="_blank">first look buy now auction preview</a> happening<br />
<br />
and lastly....due to the recent popularity of <a href="http://2000tutus.blogspot.com/p/shop-jewlery.html" target="_blank">our custom charm necklaces</a>, we are adding a new item to our jewelry page - custom charm bracelets! We are so excited about these bracelets! They will officially debut in February in honor of CHD (Congenital Heart Disease) Month and MK's heart repair anniversary! We are thrilled to have them available for Christmas, as well!!<br />

We've been wanting to roll out our Christmas sale, but we wanted to make sure we were prepared to do so! Hopefully, we're in a holding pattern, health-wise, and we're happy to offer a few of our most popular items for sale as you're [hopefully] wrapping up your Christmas shopping.<br />

Thanks so much for continuing to support our adoption! We still have some expenses to pay off, and we are now incurring expenses for our little one's medical needs.

Actually, several little updates.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">First of all, we are just so grateful for those of you who have purchased t-shirts so far! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And necklaces and tutus and pjs and shirts and dresses and hair bows!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Every penny spent brings us just a tad closer to little miss Mary-Kate.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But we have quite the way to go. My mom will be blogging all the details on our fundraising to date and what we have in store before we can travel to China a little later today. She might even share sweet little update in the form of a photo or two of our teeny little bit of a girl. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In the meantime, I'm lowering prices on our "changing the world" tees to $20!! Our goal to sell at least 28 of each color and style!! It's a great big goal, but it's also a great big message to share with a world that sometimes needs a little change.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBiXOcVORxTnORRq8G1z2eBqky9jfEW6TtXvpOLwg8WwIv2ftswQKD_1M9O1zR74N7twL_S4RE53pA_pd2vUdPMfX-Xw4dM7BWFYDhq80qGH-8AIxBkEWe4ZeLrNis51LCNJ255Y_oSh8/s1600/first+step+tee+collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBiXOcVORxTnORRq8G1z2eBqky9jfEW6TtXvpOLwg8WwIv2ftswQKD_1M9O1zR74N7twL_S4RE53pA_pd2vUdPMfX-Xw4dM7BWFYDhq80qGH-8AIxBkEWe4ZeLrNis51LCNJ255Y_oSh8/s1600/first+step+tee+collage.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So share with your friends! Have them share with their friends! Adoption groups, school friends, Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops! And go in together on orders! With each order of $100 or more (whether it be on shirts or any of the other fabulous items in our <a href="http://2000tutus.blogspot.com/p/shop_26.html" target="_blank">shop</a>) we will throw in a free <span style="color: magenta;"><i>2000 tutus</i></span> tote bag!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVIo3bxaK04RsXIAbEwC5-_nF-s4bgyhTUT309_AJNthCz6ehjFn0_u1HN6JnU1iYQHt1gUvq71h0jAjcKMXVScZSoRnsb0Gwu44ofPXojcbSqdFtgg6DJHP7vc1LjY1tbePFllGcbYe8/s1600/tutu's%2Bbag.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVIo3bxaK04RsXIAbEwC5-_nF-s4bgyhTUT309_AJNthCz6ehjFn0_u1HN6JnU1iYQHt1gUvq71h0jAjcKMXVScZSoRnsb0Gwu44ofPXojcbSqdFtgg6DJHP7vc1LjY1tbePFllGcbYe8/s1600/tutu's%2Bbag.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Also, we will be creating an order form for our t-shirts for any of you out there willing to take orders over in your neck of the woods. Contact me at contact.2000tutus@rocketmail.com to find out more information about helping us sell these shirts and meet our goal!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">p.s. If you've already purchased a "changing the world" tee, please know that we'll be contacting you about refunding your $5.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">p.s.s If you've already made a purchase of t-shirts that is $100 or more, your order will still qualify for our tote bag special and one will be included in your order.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">p.s.s.s. We'd love to lower the price on our "love makes the world go 'round" tees, but the two-sided printing raises our costs a bit. </span><br />

Which is, I guess, Black Thursday?? And then morphs itself into Cyber Monday?? We held strong till at least midnight on our own shopping, just because it's, you know, a national holiday!! And while I'll admit I'll be joining in the crazy for a few choice store deals, online shopping is SO my kind of shopping these days. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To kick off the holiday season, Mindy is releasing the first of her clot</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">hing line items, custom-made flannel pajama pants and sets! Christmas pajamas are a big deal in our house! Everyone looks forward to their new pjs on Christmas Eve, and we mark the calendar for as many pajama days as we can cram into Christmas break! And, of course, pajama days come with movies, popcorn, board games and sinful amounts of junk food!</span><br />

My favorite (no surprise) is the China doll print. But we have lots to choose from!!</span><br />

As i</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">n </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>we need to get the show on the road</i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. It's time to JUST DO IT. And someone should really stop me from using cliches to make my point already. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But, seri</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ously. We've been at this fundraising for just about THREE YEARS, people. And while it is nice and comforting to raise lots of money ahead of time for this thing called adoption, we've come to the begrudging conclusion that God doesn't always work that way. After all, the first time around, we had exactly the amount it took to pay the application fee when we started, and not a penny more. We thought it might be a little more </span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">comfortable</i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> for us to have a chunk of the money ahead of time for this next adoption. Why do we assume that our thoughts are </span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">His</i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> thoughts? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don't get me wrong. It is wonderful to be able to plan ahead, set goals and put money aside for adoption expenses. And we've done that to the extent that God has enabled us to. But it's clearly GO time. In fact, the more obstacles we've encountered, the more obvious it's become. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As time allows, I'd love to share more about those obstacles and the story God has been writing for the last few years. But it's, like, the end of November, and our application was accepted at Lifeline over a month ago to get this party started!!! It's time to put our money where our mouths are. We're upping the ante. We're in it to win it!</span><br />

Is she rockin' it, or what?! </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Hallie is one of Caroline's ten Guangdong sisters. And I'm telling you...each and every one of these girls has a larger than life personality. Even the shy ones. I adore them. I feel so blessed to know that Caroline will always be connected to the ten of them. They are all within a few months of being the same age, and no matter the combination, whenever they are together, they fall into a comfortable familial relationship. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">To top it all off, their families are of all shapes and sizes...some with lots in common, some with little in common...and yet, those families seem to have that same sense of comfort with each other. Bonded by these eleven baby girls and one hot but happy afternoon in a Guangzhou conference room, we are truly a family. It's the craziest thing. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> And you know I <i>love</i> crazy.</p><p><img style="border:0;" align="right" src="http://i39.tinypic.com/2gtyvy1.jpg" /><br /></p>Cindy Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03909636830406739852noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174935092605786824.post-75522087428268808172011-04-19T12:48:00.000-07:002011-04-19T13:00:45.905-07:00tutu cute tuesday...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY6uffETIAxlMqVpW9OxRxSB4QmfZlK50uuxCIS9416rAUvRv_7jUZLT99PGeeYXPgJ5L4NLmuSshSbwX0D5RLIA9k5nqL91jMNB-JbnUt5QZ6Z2vnJ8yyBteebizX3ea7ybH59gZ5DDo/s1600/Evyn.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY6uffETIAxlMqVpW9OxRxSB4QmfZlK50uuxCIS9416rAUvRv_7jUZLT99PGeeYXPgJ5L4NLmuSshSbwX0D5RLIA9k5nqL91jMNB-JbnUt5QZ6Z2vnJ8yyBteebizX3ea7ybH59gZ5DDo/s400/Evyn.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597386623256082338" /></a><br /><p style="text-align: justify;">This is Evyn. Is she a doll, or what? She's wearing our strawberry shortcake tutu, and we think she's about as sweet as she can be. So we just had to share.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In fact, we have an ever-growing collection of sweethearts modeling their <span class="Apple-style-span" ><i>2000 tutus</i></span> tutus, and we're feeling a little selfish, keeping all that cuteness to ourselves. So every Tuesday, we'll feature a new photo. If you haven't sent us a photo of your little darling in one of our tutus, now's your chance! Just email it to <i><span class="Apple-style-span" >contact.2000tutus@rocketmail.com</span></i> and make a note that we have your permission to post your photo. Of course, we will always protect your privacy by only posting a first name. And we'll also be ever so happy to have your photos for Mary-Kate's scrapbook so that someday she can look at all the photos of the beautiful little girls who helped bring her home. That's pretty sweet, too, eh?</p><p><img style="border:0;" align="right" src="http://i39.tinypic.com/2gtyvy1.jpg" /><br /></p>Cindy Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03909636830406739852noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174935092605786824.post-4157535417885154592011-04-05T10:23:00.000-07:002011-04-05T11:18:25.835-07:00things are hopping...<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNZwsclJI_cYd_btvNRPPEVFLugkf24m_T5WE20T7eMDZT1eDrMI4YCR2CFI_2MAWiijTLT54EaqqJss5MEEt-FQAMAl_U80wUTqvVSQCIwxXD3EypocFC1_M6YVEfmNWglLiYIbHB8oo/s400/DSC_0121e.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592153259670017890" /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>...in tutu town!</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMp5a7KsYrBAXVmcJHPtM_Yin_34LTYTjd_TVkhFRKtSiXkGkQYGWeXGDXAkfVlhqQOI3GxH5RypULqsnvKghaI5vjKHYvhQ5fbOC7JXjzF5y_GRVqSegtrEaIfqrczXtufuEVsAl90_4/s400/DSC_0033e.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592154945984250546" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Our new <i>somebunny loves you tutu</i> is what to wear this Easter season!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfSgNnO0gKP5_WS3cerxIOnOEBd5_5BaWIbGnhkH9dLXDCJBDVHp6sobaX9yY5ASH_qRK-oiQq0RnVYKcBQ4EUMycuYBiHcaeuFXTKPvHQpvhvBrdMPvCLSbYQu7ic76DtvL3slEpOu64/s400/DSC_0097e.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592156599737573522" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px; " /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Paired with the <i>somebunny tee</i>, it's the perfect outfit for an afternoon of egg hunting.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Our latest holiday tutu is so delightful...it sparkles with four shades of glitter tulle, along with lots and lots of sparkle tulle in all colors of spring.
