AMAZE-ZA-ZING


Hello everyone and welcome to this edition of"My Sister is More Talented than Your Sister!" ToTALLLY kidding...but seriously!

My dearest sister Cindy is an amazing artist and story teller! Her little girl Bella just had her 1st birthday this past weekend and it has not only been a milestone for Bell's but Cindy too! Cindy over the past 6 or so months has been customizing (as in drawing an readapting) classic disney fairy tales. So far she has completed cutom versions of Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Beauty and the Beast...and by custom I mean she drew all the pictures, adapted the story, and will place your very own little princess's name in the story! For example, my neice Whitney's favorite princess is Sleeping Beauty, therefore in Cindy's custom fairytale creation Arora is replaced with Whitney and Sleeping Beauty (the cover) is changed to Sleeping Whitney!

I don't know about you, but I was obsessed with fairy tales growing up and always had a desire to be a little princess. I think most girls have had that desire at somepoint. Any who... Cindy's books are truly an awesome work of art and true labor of love! Definately go check out her blog (there is a link through my blog to her's under "Hadley Ever After".

She truly is amazing Cher! Nevertheless, your whole stinkin' family is that way! You have all got some amazing abilities, that's for sure. How are you? I commented on Cindy's blog, asking her what she was charging for those adorable princess tales. Do you happen to know?

It depends on the type of binding you want. I know that just in printing costs alone it's over $15 a book, combined with binding and the customizing of the name/cover/hair color etc... They are $30 or $35. They are pretty cute though! She needs ideas for little boys so if anyone has any ideas pass em along!

Dearest Cheri! So, i told some people about this, and my sister in law is very interested in buying a few of these for her daughters and neice. Question... is the total price for the book and the decorative cover $35?
