Not Everyone's Mama

I did it, I cut off all of my hair.  I really liked it at first, then I got nervous about what Pato would think and started hating it. 

My mom was with me when I did it, and she loved it, but she’s my mom, she’s supposed to!  LOL  All the DSO designers have been so sweet with their compliments!  You guys made me feel so much better.  And Blythe Evans, she is such a friend!  I sent her a pic on my cell phone right after I did it, and she loved it.  So, then why do I feel so uncomfortable?  Who knows?

 Even Pato liked it when he got home.  I was so worried he’d hate it.

Here’s a before, now my really is curly.  I straightened it the day I took this pic. 

Self Portrait #1:

And after, Cell Phone Self Portrait:

Look at those curls!  My goodness they came back with a vengence.  After she finished cutting it, she just put some gel on it and I left.  As it dried more and more, I was more and more amazed.  My hair hasn’t been this curly since I was 4.  LOL  But, she cut off a lot of the bulk, thinned it out so that it wouldn’t poof on me.  I didn’t want a mushroom head like I had last time I cut it short.

I think I just need to play with it a little and get it the way I like it.  I tried to straighten it last night, but I need new clippies to hold it in place.  Mine aren’t strong enough to hold short little hairs that want to jump out of place.  I also wouldn’t mind a new straightener.  LOL 

I got Kat’s hair cut too, just a little, I mean, there are like 6 little curls in the baggie I brought home that said, first hair cut.  I just wanted them to even it out, cut off the baby wispys, so that those 6 curls weren’t just hanging 2 inches below the rest of her curls.  LOL  And they gave her some little side swept bangs.  She looks so grown up. 

She panicked though.  3 years old and it was her first hair cut, if you don’t count the time that I tried to cut a few whispys off her bangs when she was young and I cut it too short.  Or the time Jordan cut out a chunk.  LOL  I consider this her first official hair cut.  She was so scared.  I got pics of before and after, but I’m going to do a layout of them before I post it here.   I hope they are good, I haven’t looked at them yet.  She was squirming away from the camera, putting her head down, giving me dirty looks.   LOL  (My LCD is broken on my camera, so I can’t see them until I upload them)  And the whole time the lady was cutting her hair, she was like mama, mama, mama, mama.  (Like save me, save me, save me, save me)  I held her hand and talked her through it and when she was done, she was good to go braggin’ about her hair cut.

Oh, when she did mine, I did donate over a foot to locks of love.  (To see some beautiful smiles, check out the recipient page, the donor page is kind of neat too.  She didn’t take my picture yesterday, but that is what I did.) This is the second time I’ve done that.  The first time was when I cut my hair shorter (not this short) after I had Katiana.  That time I did it in honor of my aunt who had just been diagnosed with breast cancer.  This time I just did it because it’s such a good cause.  Though now I’m miserable and want to crawl into a corner and cry until I get used to it, at least my hair is going to help someone else out who could use it more than I can.

Now, off of my whining and on to the bargain bin and my freebie for the blog war! 

Have you checked out DSO’s Bargain Bin?  If you haven’t, you are missing out!  There is so much stuff in there!  Nothing is over 99 cents!  There are 58 products in there right now, and they change every Friday!  You could find elements, alphas, kits, templates, a little bit of everything.  And sometimes, sometimes we sneak in a full size kit!  You really should check it out.  It’s called the Bargain Bin for some reason.  LOL

And the freebie …

 I really liked how yesterday’s template turned out.  (And if you downloaded it before I fixed it, scroll down to yesterday’s post to redownload it.  It was saved as a flat image yesterday on accident.  It’s now fixed and in a PSD format, plus I added a link to my dear friend, Blythe Evan’s new freebie – It’s gorgeous, dahlings!)  So, I made one that might help you make a similar 2 page layout with today’s and yesterday’s.  Kind of grungy, kind of ripped.  Hope you enjoy it!  (And I have triple checked, this one is in PSD format)

Remember if you download, leave some love – I could use it today.  LOL  And please don’t send your friend’s to the direct download link.  Send them to my blog to check out the goodies on their own.  (And don’t forget the other DSO designers on the right – see if they have new goodies for you!)
