Twist Braids and Step Ponies to Bun

This style is one I borrowed from Babes In Hairland. If you haven't seen her blog, you haven't seen hair! ;) I totally love my girl's red hair, don't get me wrong. But you have got to see the ridiculously thick and beautifully healthy hair her daughters have! Okay, so here's the link... CLICK ... to this style. I had to change it up just a tad for Miss Sass's short locks, but it was still fun and cute! 

Thanks to the twist braids, this style has a little bit of shape at the top front. I think it is pretty, but simple and could be dressed up or used for everyday. --I have to make a quick note on this pic... My big boy here cooked pancakes for breakfast and then did his best to clean the evidence off of his shirt. Lol. He is a total sweetie who loves to cook! So, please excuse the messy shirt! ;)

Summer Wedding

I made this headpiece and accent band set while trying out a new style of hair accessories for my shop and Little Miss fell in love! ;) She asked if she could wear them and of course I said yes!

So, this style is actualy very pretty and wonderful for weddings or really any event. You can dress it up or down. It is also pretty easy to achieve... that's my favorite part! ;) 

Simple Twists Into Poofy Piggies

This is a pretty simple style to do, but it turns out really adorable!

A Curly Do - Detangling and Braiding

Okay, so I had the pleasure of hanging with my sweet niece again... and of course we did some hair! ;)

---Do you see my Little Miss in the background? She managed to get herself into several pics, *sigh*---

Simple & Pretty Flower w/ Curls

This is another style that I previewed last week. I loved how pretty it was! ;)

Go check out this Giveaway!

I promise I haven't forgotten about those posts I gave you a peek at earlier! But while you all wait for me to get my bum in gear...

Check out this fab Giveaway for a gorgeous dress and headband set! Very chic, I'm in love! Lol, if you haven't heard of All Things Ribbon, this will be a special treat for you! There are som truly incredible hair things over there!

In other news, my camera lens jammed and I am dealing with this cheapy digital thing... ugh! So, after those few posts you saw previewed the other day, all the pictures will be set on quality level: crappy! Bitter? What? I'm not bitter.... Okay, so it will take a couple weeks to get it fixed, so I hope you all will stick with me for those posts that have so-so pics. ;)

We Picture {This} Flowers - Photo Theme

I'm sure that it's a huge surprise to all of you, but I like to take pictures now and then. ;) I would love to start entering more photo contests and there's no time like the present, right? So, here are a few of my favorite pictures with flowers...

It's funny (to me anyway) that I didn't have a favorite hair flower picture, but maybe it's just because I had so many to go through I just didn't find one yet. ;)

This post is being entered at We Picture {This} A Mamarazzi Blog. There are some truly incredible photog mommies over there and I look forward to the days when my own photography is even close to that level! Needless to say, you should go check it out if you like looking at beautiful pics of adorable little kids. ;)

Looking for Models ... FREE Bows

Okay, you all have seen my bows and I have had a good response. However, they just look better when they are worn! My Little Miss Sass has modeled some, but she is just one girl and a young one at that! ;)

I am looking for several of you out there who would like to do a little trade... I will ship you a few bows for FREE and you email me some pics of your girl (or you!) wearing them! Easy peasy, right?

If you are interested, leave a comment or email me at merynne@gmail.com. I would like photos to use for my Etsy shop. You DO NOT have to be a professional photographer! I am looking for clear photos with the bows visible and nothing crazy in the background. ;) Several people will be selected, so don't shy away if there are already commenters. I look forward to hearing from you!

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!

I do have a winner, 2 winners in fact! ;)

If you've forgotten what the choices were, go back to the original post here.

Okay, without further ado...

New Flowers, Simple Braids

Okay, I've dragged this out long enough... today is the last day to enter the Giveaway! I will announce the winners on Wednesday. Good luck to everyone and thanks for entering! ;)

You can change this up a bit by doing puff braids or twists. It works for everyday or dressy if you add some curls...

I parted out the front, ear to ear, and put french braids on either side. When I got to her ears, I continued with a straight braid and secured the ends with an elastic. Then, I used our new flower clips to hold the ends back.

This looked cute and pretty, in my opinion! ;) And Miss Sass loves her new flowers!

Overlapping Angled Puff Braids

Before we get started with today's 'do, I want to say thanks to everyone who has entered the giveaway. Your comments are very sweet and greatly appreciated! For those who emailed or are planning to email me pics: I had asked for you to share your hairstyles for an extra entry... I am planning to put these photos in a future post. If you would like yours left out, please just let me know. ;)

If you haven't entered the giveaway yet, check here for more details. Thanks again to everyone for your support! I was thrilled to see that I have 99 wonderful people following my blog, WOW! ;)

Right, now on to the hair...

This is my new favorite style. I have done pigtails, a low ponytail, 1/2 up, and this one. I think this time looked the best, but I'll list some more with this basic idea. I just love the way it looks! ;)

This is a VERY simple style to do; it just looks a little more complex....

Giveaway Time! All NEW items! ;)

I just love to do Giveaways!

New from Kathy's Krafts, these are totally unique clay sculptures for bedroom decor! My mom-in-law is super creative!. We love all of her things, but these new princess tiaras and shoes are just TDF! ;)

Relaxed Curls & Bun on a New Model w/ a New Flower

Please welcome my lovely niece, The Diva! A beautiful child with enough attitude for 2-13 yr old girls. ;) She agreed to model for me and I was so excited to fix her curly locks!

Winner of the Giveaway!

Sorry to post a fake this morning!!! I forgot that I had scheduled this one to start, but hadn't adding the pictures or selected a winner yet. Oooops!

Well, first of all, here are the winner's choices...

First a rocker zebra pair. These are great for scene hair like this look,

http://tinydiva.blogspot.com/search/label/Scene%20Hair

This is a brand new pair.

Twist Me Up

I love love LOVE how this flower clip came out! ;) Naturally though, I only got one shot of her wearing it, and not really a great one either! Geez. ;) Anyway, this was a fun style and one I have done again since because I just like the feel...

Yummy Yellow Flower Clip

Sis chose the style today and the hair acc. She went with yellow to match her shoes and shirt. I liked the choice and it made for an extra happy girl! ;)

Messy Bun with Braids and Flowers

This is a pretty simple style, but it looks really cute. It is just perfect for days when you're in a hurry.

Lovely Updo ~ A Poof & 2 French Braids

Finally a new style! ;)

This was inspired by a style I saw on a tv show...

It was pretty easy to do, but I did adapt it a little for short hair.

Sunflower field. Not a new style... yet!

As I was going through last month's pictures to see if maybe I missed a hairstyle - I didn't, dang! - I found these. ;) This is out by the sunflower field behind our church. Okay, so just a ponytail, but she does have a new flower in her hair, which is going up in the etsy shop soon. ;)

This first picture made me laugh because she was scared of the bugs. She refused for quite a while to take her hands out of her pockets.
And then I just loved this last one... not sure why, I just really like it. ;)
Okay, thanks for visiting another off-topic post... actual hair posts coming soon!
