Hair: Before & After

So Paxton and I had some changes to our hair style this past week.....

I've been wanting to go a bit liter for awhile now. I had bought this spray that slowly lightens your hair but it wasn't giving me an even look. So last Friday I dyed my hair for the first time!

Friday my mom and I headed to the store and probably stood there for 45 minutes trying to find the right color.....I didn't want a drastic blond....just a bit lighter and more of a Honey blond look.  We finally found the one.

After dinner my mom put in the mousse....and it starting brown.....I was afraid I'd have white hair now....and my mom was joking about it being a wrong pack and my hair turning black.....Well, after we washed it out my hair still looked very brown. I wrapped my hair in a towel and slept on it....

I woke up early Saturday morning so excited to see the end product.....I LOVED IT. Exactly what I wanted.....the Honey blond look. ☺

Oh, and Paxton got his summer hair cut. No more a big furry friend but a "cooler" fun pet! Funny how the weather is cold again.....

Did you ever dye your hair? How was your experience?

Nets You Might Get Caught In

e

Proverbs 12:12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men:

Yesterday we talked about the nets....I know....I mean, what are nets.....they are to catch something right? And normally, whatever is caught won't be happy much longer. So what are some things we can get caught in?

1) Advertisements- The reason we see them everywhere is because they work! Just hearing the sound of the pop and hissing sound when opening a can....don't you suddenly feel like a nice cold coke?

2) Internet- Today it is way to easy to get caught in this world wide web....way to easy we can get a hold of wrong information and land on bad websites.

3) TV- or networks. The TV in itself is not bad.....but the more you sit in front of it you are letting yourself be programed....by who? What are you letting come into your home and heart?

4) Politics- I think us young ladies won't be caught up into this too quickly but there is so much exploiting and lying involved.

5) Conspiracy theories- Though I've never really gotten into them they are SUPER interesting. One thing is sure....the way they say things happened on TV are never 100% true. What REALLY happened with the Twin Towers....it probably was an inside job....but we will never really know and it will not change anything. 

7) Pyramid Schemes- Companies like Amway, Pampered Chef, Tupperware, Thirty-One, Herbal Life.....I am NOT against them. I have many lady friends involved in some of these....and would even do some of them....but they should be treated with caution. They ARE a lot of work and if you are not careful you'll be looking at people around you with $$ signs and be willing to speak to complete strangers about Tupperware....but not Jesus Christ. 

What did you learn about in church yesterday?

Make Your Own Owl Pillow

Today I want to show you how I made the cute owl pillows for the giveaway.

1. Plan & Design your pattern

2. Cut out the body- Pin to secure from moving the pattern

3. Carefully cut out the eye from the pattern & cut out material.

4. Do this with all parts: eye, belly & beak. Pin securely & sew on.

5. Sew on buttons as eyes. Various locations create various expressions. Play around! ☺

6. Pin right-side-in and sew one time around....except....
