The Original Poof

Remember the original poof?

The bang flower, that sat like a crown upon your head, dusted with Aqua Net hairspray and immovable by wind - or any force of nature, for that matter. It could withstand dance recitals, drill team practice and riding in cars with the top down.

It could often be found alongside tuck and roll jeans, blue eyeshadow and your boyfriend's class ring.

A by-product of this creation included bathroom walls and floors covered with a layer of spray, virtually impenetrable by Soft Scrub.

My mother used to tell me it was too much, too big and too stiff. Should have listened to my mom, then I wouldn't have senior pictures like this one, still displayed publicly in my grandparents house.

Every time my husband sees this picture, he just shakes he head and says, "Whoa. Now that's some big hair."

  2. I LOVE this picture of you - and your hair! We were fans of "Aqua Net" - and man did it hold - our bangs could be set to a 90 degree angle on our forhead for an entire day! There was nobody running their fingers through my hair!

  3. I LOVE it!!!!! I have similar pictures. Our spray of choice on the cheerleading squad was Rave #4! I would hold my hair out from my ear, spray and then hit it with the hairdryer! Talk about impenetrable! Thank goodness it didn't all break off in chunks! Great post!

  7. (Insert sigh here). I kinda miss the days of big hair. How can you be Southern and not? And it sure beats the alternative...thinning hair.

  8. LOVE IT! One of the best things my mom ever did for my sister and I was refuse to let us cut our hair into bangs (we had terrible cowlicks). At the time I was so upset with her, but now I also don't have any incriminating photos!

Star Wars Gift Bag Tags

Two years ago, for Walker's Star Wars birthday, I created Yoda tags to attach to the gift bags for the party. Little did I know these bag tags would become so popular on Pinterest! To date, these tags have been repinned almost 500 times!!! So I thought since there's so much interest, I'd add them to my Etsy shop . So now, for just $8.00 - you can receive the file electronically and print them for yourself! I jazzed them up a bit with some sliver glitter puff paint on the light saber and some silver ribbon to attach to the dollar store bags. Print as many or as few as you want! So, if you are planning a Star Wars party, check them out ! And may the force be with you!

Baby Shower Inspiration Boards

I got all excited about the baby shower inspiration board contest over at Sippycups Are for Chardonnay , but only ended up submitting this first one on time. I managed to pull the second together this weekend just for kicks and loved the colors, so thought I'd share here. The first board is call "Nesting Instincts" and the second is "Over the Rainbow". I think I could get addicted to creating these things.
