Girly Do's

So, I am the last hair mom to tell you to get your butt over to Girly Do's for her fabulous giveaway.....but do it! Go over and check it out, it really is a good one.

And, I will be doing a hair post soon.

TopsyTail Winner is.......

Number 218, and that is...

Oh....and what the heck, a second winner is Number 141, and that is...

So if you guys could e-mail me your info, I will get these in the mail no later than Friday.

I have to give a shout out Thank You to Blackeyedsue @ She Does Hair/Hair Today (which is it anyway?) and to Jen @ Girly Dos, and to Princess Charmed mom @ Princess Charmed Hair and also to The Story of a Princess and her Hair. You guys are wonderful and I sure appreciate your shout outs, I want to be you! If it weren't for you I wouldn't have had half as many comments. Also, a shout out to Because I was taught to share a great blog that lets you know of contests, sales, giveaways etc. each day, be sure to check it out.

Okay, I HAVE to tell you, I had so much fun reading all of you comments. I laughed at a lot of them because you would talk about how you had one back in Jr. High or High School. I remember when I got mine as well, my mom got it for me via an infomercial. I was in the 8th grade...I think... I was so excited to use it, I still have the same one, and I did use it on my own hair until to about 2 years ago when I cut it all off for "Locks of Love." And, no we are not old!! Also, I laughed at the fact that some of you actually tried to make one...because I too tried, without success!

I can't remember if it was Piper or my little boy, Teague, that bit the pointy end off of it, but I still used it up until recently when I got a new one that includes the Jr. which is really great for the little bugs and for pulling the end of braided ponies through ponytail holders and stuff.

Now, to answer some questions:

They still make them?
As far as I know, they do not make them anymore, but there are a few people/companies that still sell them.

For real all we have to do is leave a comment?
Yep, for real that's all you have to do. And that is all you will ever had to do for my giveaways!

But I'm obsessed...what can I say?
I too am obsessed, but it's a healthy obsession...I think.

Very cool--does it come with lessons?
It does come with a little booklet with instructions.

Do you do a giveaway every Wednesday?
Not every Wednesday, but when I do them, it will be on a Wednesday.

Where did you get one?
E-bay.

I have so many pictures of Piper's hairdos in a folder on my desktop, so make sure you keep checking back. Also, I will be doing more "Giveaway Wednesdays," with more great prizes...maybe even more TopsyTails(?)

Thanks again to all of you!

Wednesday Giveaway! ALL DONE!!

I know, I know, it's only Tuesday, but I thought I would give an extra day to post a comment for those of you that don't check the blog everyday.

I know you've been wondering What the give away might be....and I know some of you have been hoping that it will be a.........

TOPSYTAIL

Well, it is!

Remember only one comment per person. Commenting will be discontinued at 8:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time on Wednesday July 30, 2008. Again, I will use random.org to determine who the winner is. I will announce the winner in the morning (remember morning is anytime before noon) Thursday July 31, 2008.

This TopsyTail is great because it also comes with the TopsyTail jr.. The jr. is great for the little bugs. I have labeled all of the hairdo's that we use the TopsyTail for.

And the winner is........

I love your blog! I love finding new hairstyles for my 6 year old daughter. Bows are always a plus!! (I was not gifted in the bow making department either!)

Tonya, could you please e-mail me? Check my profile.



Everyone, thank you so much for commenting. This was really fun for me, and I can't wait to do another giveaway!

My friend Amber now has a blog dedicated to Brynn's Bows and Blossoms. It will also always have a link here on the blog.

Also, yes...Piper's hair has been cut. I really tried to talk her into not "wanting" so much cut off, but Piper is a little bit stubborn (gee, I wonder where she gets that from). Her reasoning was..."I really want to see what it feels like to have shorter hair." Needless to say, she got it cut. And, it looks beautiful and healthy and it is still long enough to do stuff with. And, most importantly, she LOVES it, and so do I.

However, it is going to be a little hard for me to do some of our old standbys. I also know that Piper's hair grows very fast and it will be long again in a couple of months. Yes...I did cry, but I didn't let Piper see me cry, I wouldn't want her to feel bad or guilty for something as silly as getting her haircut.

Our "ponytail" posts may dwindle because her ponytail isn't as long anymore, but we did a cute one today, and I loved it. I will still be able to do A LOT of great things.

Before the haircut. Sunday with a simple "bug" for church.



During the haircut. (My cousin Melanie, she is absolutely FABULOUS!)



After the haircut. Doesn't it look so healthy and beautiful?


BY THE WAY...What in the world are all you ladies doing up in the middle of the night?

Wednesday Giveaway!

Are you all so excited? My friend Amber made these bows and flowers just for this giveaway. I was definitely not blessed in the bow making area, trust me, I've tried with no avail. Amber makes beautiful bows.

So, start commenting. Commenting will be discontinued at 8:00 p.m. I will announce a winner tomorrow morning - Thursday July 3. And morning is really anytime before noon! (sometimes it's hard to get up and get going when you have nothing to do!)

I will be selecting a random commenter through random.org.

I'm not sure when the next giveaway will be, but it will be on a Wednesday, and I am VERY excited about it!

By the way, you may all have a heart attack when you see my next post. Just a hint...I wasn't expecting it to be so short.

Giveaways.....

So, I have all these great ideas for giveaways here on my little blog. For example: hair bows/flowers, hair tools, organizers etc...However, no one is leaving comments, so I have no way of knowing if people are interested in some of the things that I use.

Comment today, so I know if this will be worth it or not.

I have decided to do "Giveaway Wednesday" so, starting next Wednesday, July 2 I will have a giveaway posted on the blog and I will randomly select a commenter to be the winner. This will most likely not take place every Wednesday, but when it does take place it will be on a Wednesday!

Talk to you soon.
