Chibi Ninja

The Halloween curse strikes again! I get sick every year around this time. I am finally on antibiotics and have hopes of recovering soon. Needless to say, I have been slightly out of my mind for several days so this post took a little longer than planned to get up.
When my niece and nephew started taking karate I had hopes that they would grow up to have my dream job, NINJA! 


This cute set is for my nephew's birthday next week.
