Spring Time Tilda

Good Morning Friends!! Yesterday after I picked up my daughter from school, we decided to do a "girls hangout day" together so we went and got our hair done. We both cut and had our hair highlighted. I told the lady I wanted a few chunky "brown" highlights in two different colors to make it look natural. I even provided a photo of the color. . . well, when I was at the salon, because of the lighting, it looked okay. When I got home, my husband said "why do you have blonde hair". . . I'm like "it's not blonde, it's brown". He's like "did you look in the mirror?". Well, I stepped into the bathroom, looked in the mirror, and lo' and behold, some of the highlights were "blonde"! Argggghhh! Okay, I'm Asian. . .Asians don't have blonde highlights.

I was a bit bummed. . .I paid good money, I have the urge to head to the store, buy hair dye and reduce the overly lightened parts of my hair but at the same time, I feel like I would be wasting the money I paid. I mean it don't look bad. . . on a white person! LOL!! It's not so bad, luckily it's just "highlights" and it is mixed with dark and light brown colors but I do look like a surfer chick. . .you know with blonde streaks!

Has this ever happen to you? I rarely have my hair done because I've had a few disasters and I get really upset knowing I wasted my money. My daughter's highlights and hair cut turned out beautiful. It looks really natural!!

Anyway, about my card. . .I colored Tilda with my Copic Markers. I added that flourish thing sorta last minute. I'm not sure I like it but that's okay, I'll leave it. . .it's something different.

Do you see Tilda's face. . .well it's popped up a bit because I messed up on her original face. LOL! I didn't want to waste the rest of the image so I just went ahead and stamped the image again, color her face, and remounted it over the original image.

What are your plans today? I still need to finish my laundry. . .it's been 3 days since I started, do some chores, and maybe I'll take a few photos around town.

Well, whatever you do. . .hope it'll be fun!!

DD's New Hairdo

This is a photo of my daughter's new hairdo. Nothing drastic. She had her hair layered a bit and highlighted with brown streaks. I think it turned out really nice. For my daughter, doing her hair is a big deal because she's a "wash and wear" sort of person. She's seriously low maintenance. She doesn't do her hair or use make up. I sort of talked her into getting her hair done. Luckily, they didn't do anything drastic to her hair or she would have been mad at me. She's happy with the results and I am too.
