Hair

My oldest just started Kindergarten and for her first day I wanted to do something extra special with her hair. After asking around and doing some good ol' google searching I found some really fun and inspired blogs (see my sidebar) that really got me excited about hair. So for the last week or so I have made bows and flower clips looked at tons of ideas and here is a weeks worth of super fun, really easy hair ideas. I know there is only about 4 ways (that I can come up with) for my little man's hair, but I thought I would throw those in here too! I am not going to include in-depth tutorials for these pictures (most of the are self-explanatory) but I will in future posts; there are just too many this time. If there is one that you really want to know about leave a comment and I will be happy to explain it!
(Sorry, I loaded the pictures backwards, so they are a little out of order)
After looking at all the pictures I think I need to work on more hair accessories... Anyway...Image
Image For this one I did a side part and did a reversed french braid (I don't know the official name) then took the end and added them to a pony tail and put all that into a messy bun. It took a little longer than the rest of them, but I think it was because I really had no idea what to do for this day, and just started, this is what I ended up with.
Image We call this dinosaur hair. It is just spiked up all over, a cute look on my handsome little guy!ImageImage Really basic here, a zig-zag part and pig tails. I thin the over sized flowers finish it off!

This is not what I was going for, but I loved it more than my first thought. It is french braid across the back of her head, then in a bun. It would have been cute to leave it as a side pony tail, but I ran out of time to curl the ends.

Image From the top... I had seen this on a couple of blogs, but thought since she has some curl it would be cute to pile it up in the back

My hubby calls it her little weed... I think it fits! She has got some natural curl so I just put a little hair spray in it.

Let the Creativity Begin

Welcome to my new blog! I decided I wanted to create a blog where my creative thoughts and projects can go. I welcome anyone with an idea to share! You will notice that I did not say a “good" idea because there is no such thing as a bad idea when it comes to getting creative. What seems like a bad idea to you can inspire another.

I will be posting anything I feel is creative:
quick fix meals-or not so quick meals
funky, spunky and adorable hair dos
photography
sewing projects
Digi-scrap pages/projects
things I try and fail--maybe you can fix it ;)
and anything else I can come up with!

So comon' Let's Get Creative!
