Katherine Alderfer Fundraiser Tutu for Riley Hospital

In late May 2010, Katherine was diagnosed with a very rare auto-immune disorder called Juvenile Dermatomyositis. This disease can cause debilitating symptoms including muscle pain and weakness, ulcers, rashes, severe fatigue, lung and heart problems, calcinosis (muscle hardening), swallowing and digestive problems. This disease has no known cure and strikes 2-4 out of a million. Some children will experience remission, but others will battle the disease their entire life. Medication can help relieve the symptoms, but there is no known cure.
Katherine and her family were blessed to find help at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, a two and a half hour drive from their home in northern Indiana. Each week Katherine and her family visit Riley for Katherine’s treatment. The Alderfer family has come to appreciate the quality care and attention that the Riley team has provided Katherine. They have especially come to appreciate the hospital’s Art Therapy Program. Riley’s Art Therapist focuses on the emotional well-being of the patients while minimizing the adverse effects of the hospital experience.
It is in Katherine’s honor that Little Diva Tutus has created the Katherine Alderfer Tutu benefitting the Riley Hospital for Children’s Art Therapy Program. As this program grows, its impact on other children like Katherine can flourish!
Katherine designed her own tutu using a beautiful blend of colors which can be ordered here.  Little Diva Tutus will donate 30% of each Katherine Alderfer tutu sold to Riley Hospital for Children's Art Therapy Program in honor of Katherine!
To date we have donated $750 to Riley Hospital for Children!

New Car Seat Guidelines

Little Diva Tutus Parents:

Have you heard about the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) new car seat and booster guidelines?

New guidelines have been announced from AAP, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and they have made significant changes!

The new guidelines are as follows:


New Rear-facing Recommendation: Parents are to keep children rear-facing until 2 years old, or until they reach the maximum height and weight for the seat as noted in the manual.

New Boostering Recommendation: Children should ride in a belt-positioning booster (that means a high-back!) until they are at least 4 foot, 9 inches, AND 8-12 years old.

It is also now recommended that children stay out of the front seat until they are at least 13 years old.

Stay informed, read more about the new guidelines by visiting:http://shine.yahoo.com/parenting/aaps-new-car-seat-guidelines-change-rear-facing-booster-rules-2466904.html , and keep your Little Diva safe when traveling!

Paint your Washer & Dryer!


I came across this blog post today and just had to share it. I love the polk a dot design and I think this would inspire me to get more laundry done...at least for a month or so. (wink wink).

Want to know how she did it? The original blog and tutorial can be found here: http://www.fivedaysfiveways.com/2012/02/try-it-tuesday-how-to-paint-washing.html

An Inexpensive Gift Idea from Little Diva Tutus




Another fun & easy DIY gift idea!

We threw a surprise party for my sixteen year old on Saturday. We had a super fattening candy bar. I saved money by purchasing vases & candy at the Dollar Tree.

After cleaning up I thought what can I do with these vases? I already have a bunch saved in my cabinet...I didn't want to add to unnecessary clutter.

I decided to make these for my sister who, like me has a wine theme in her dining room.

Total cost...$1.00/each vase ~ Wine corks purchased through eBay (I bought 100 for $10 or $15) ~ Tealights...I have a bunch because I light them often.

This project is so easy...

Simply line your wine corks in order inside your vase, be sure to put one in the center to balance it.

Continue this all the way up, using a shorter cork for the center of the top. Push your tealight into place. Make sure the tealight is secure.

I don't recommend lighting these unless you are watching them...maybe at dinner or something where you can watch them constantly. I like them more as decor and the best part is, if you need the vases, dump the corks into something else and your vases are ready for another use.



Happy Crafting!

DIY Fabric Softener - Cost: $1.43!

The recipe below created 2 1/4 containers of fabric softener for $1.43!

I made it a goal of mine to cut out unnecessary spending this year...now, don't get me wrong, I'm sure I'll still splurge from time to time, but generally speaking I'm looking for areas I can cut back on. Laundry was one of them. Each month I found myself buying Tide, Downy and Downy Fabric Sheets. I decided that I didn't need both liquid fabric softener and fabric sheets so I cut out the liquid.

Missing my liquid Downy in each load (I really miss that smell) I started searching for alternatives...and I found this one on Frugal Girls.

I am so pleased with how easy it is to make and the savings blew me away!!!

What you'll need:








6 cups of hot water (I brought my water to a slight boil on the stove top)



3 cups of white vinegar



2 cups of Suave conditions (use your favorite scent)



Instructions:



Mix conditioner and hot water until the conditioner is completely dissolved.



Add the 3 cups of vinegar and mix well.




I used a whisk to start and then switched to a spatula to make sure the conditioner was mixed in well.



Once it's dissolved, you're done! It's that easy!!



Using a funnel, pour your fabric softener into a used, clean container. I used my old detergent bottles.



The original instructions state to use your Downy Ball, which leads me to believe you use the same amount you would if you were using a store bought fabric softener.



I will post my results as soon as I've completed some laundry!



Price Breakdown:


1 Family Size bottle of Suave conditioner: $1.46


1 Gallon Vinegar: $2.38




Use: 2 cups of Suave = .49/cup = .98


3 cups of Vinegar = .15/cup = .45


Total: $1.43!

Changing it up a bit...

Instead of just talking about tutus and what Little Diva Tutus is doing next I thought I'd expand this blog into some of my favorite DIY (Do It Yourself) projects and information.

We will still keep you up to date on what's going on at Little Diva Tutus, but add a few projects and information I have found helpful in as well.

I hope you enjoy our *New* blog and share it with your friends!

Samantha Harris Shows Little Diva Tutus some Tutu Love!


There is something to be said when a business that started out with an idea, a little cash and a lot of hope gets a little recognition!
I (Melissa) had the great pleasure of meeting ET's Samantha Harris at a Pre-Oscars Studio in Beverly Hills a couple of weeks ago. There, Samantha told me that her new Little Diva, Hillary would be wearing a tutu by Little Diva Tutus in an upcoming photoshoot for In Touch Magazine.
To say the least I was thrilled and quickly ran to my phone to update my Facebook status with the good news!
This morning I saw the above photo and story of Samantha and her youngest daughter Hillary and there she is....in a tutu created by Little Diva Tutus! Little Hillary is wearing our popular Lily Tutu. It's created with a mix of bold, fun colors!
Our great thanks goes out to Samantha! Just seeing this photo brought a HUGE smile to my face!
Be sure to follow Samantha on Twitter
To see the entire photo spread pick up the newest issue of In Touch magazine!

Remembering Layla Grace Marsh


Little Diva Tutus had the great honor to celebrate the life of Layla Grace Marsh at a Pre-Oscars Event in Beverly Hills, CA.


Some of the celebrities we had the great pleasure of gifting our one-of-a-kind Layla Grace tutus were ET's Nancy O'Dell, ET's Samantha Harris, Gossip Girl's Kelly Rutherford and Laila Ali!

Layla's tutus were such a hit, we ran out before the end of the event! We had a feeling that might happen, so we had special Layla Tutu cards made for celebrities and press to redeem for a FREE Layla Grace tutu. We did this in hopes of raising awareness about the Layla Grace Children's Cancer Research Foundation as well as Pediatric Cancer. We hope that Layla will touch their hearts as much as she's touched ours!

To date, Little Diva Tutus has donated nearly $4,000 and $230 in products to the Layla Grace Foundation. We donate $15 for each Layla Tutu sold directly to her foundation! To order your own Layla Grace tutu, visit us HERE.

You can make a direct donation to the Layla Grace Children's Cancer Research Foundation HERE.

Please keep the Marsh family in your thoughts and prayers on March 9th. Join us in remembering Layla on Facebook HERE.

If you can, Please help 6 y/o Parkers mother pay for his funeral expenses

As a mother our instinct is to give our hand for a boost, our arms for a hug, our shoulder for a tear and in some cases open our wallet for a donation.


Little Diva Tutus is teaming up with celebrity couple Renee and Scott Baio as well as other fantastically generous boutiques to raise money for Parker's funeral.


Little Diva Tutus is hosting a 3-Day online auction to help Parker's family. Up for bids is a Custom Tutu, a Personalized Diva T-Shirt, Matching Leg Warmers as well as a Matching Hair Accessory.

In addition to the $100 donation we've made, we've donated another $79.94 in money donated by our customers and fans to the Bailey Baio Angel Foundation.
Renee Baio is the kind of mom who steps in when someone needs help. Parker's mother needed help and in a moment Renee was accepting donations through the foundation and made her own sizable donation to the funeral home.

However, you don't have to bid on our items to donate. You can make a direct donation in any amount to the Bailey Baio Angel Foundation HERE !

*Please note* that if you make a direct donation to BBAF, leave a note stating "Parkers Funeral Expenses".


You can also help by spreading the word of ours or any of the other boutique auctions benefiting Parker Hammons funeral expenses.


You can read more about Parker HERE.

Thank you for your continued support and love!

Thanks A Lot Facebook!

Thanks a lot Facebook!
Due to a recent change in Facebook rules, Little Diva Tutus is forced to change the way we do giveaways and contests!
At this time, we are hosting 2 contests that now have to be changed.
1) 25 Days of Christmas Giveaway...we will no longer be allowed to contact winners via Facebook or announce them on Facebook.
Winners will be announced this blog and Twitter Page.
2) Win a Years Supply of Little Diva Tutus has now been changed to a Penny Sale.
The "winner" of the Years Supply of Little Diva Tutus will now be required to purchase the prize pack for a Penny. Upon winning you will be required to send us 1 cent via Paypal.
We will continue with our plan to create a YouTube video on the Little Diva Tutus channel of the drawing and share the video on this blog, the LittleDivaTutus Twitter page as well as the Little Diva Tutus Facebook page.
So, why the new rules? My guess is that it's about the money. When people refer their friends to Facebook business pages such as ours they lose out on advertising fees. I assume that before long, businesses will be required to pay a monthly fee to keep their fan pages.
To read more about the new Facebook Rules, click HERE.
Thank you all for being loyal Little Diva Tutus fans and customers! We appreciate each of you and look forward to another Divalicious year!
