Coaster Craze

Just a little something I threw together sometime last week. I love making coasters, and this one is one of my favorites. It's so ruffly and has a great weight to it. It's very photogenic, too!

Finals tomorrow! So excited!

Have a lovely Monday, everyone! ♥

For some reason this summer, I lost four pounds. I was a toothpick to begin with, and I reckon that the stress of this last semester got to me. However, even though I want to gain those four pounds back, I will not complain for the moment. Last year, I found this beautiful dress at Goodwill...but I only checked the length to fit. Turns out it was two or three sizes too small, removing it from the possibility of being a part of my Sunday wardrobe. Until now, of course. I had the revelation last night and tried it on. It was a perfect fit, and I got to wear it to church this morning.

I'm easily amused, as you can see, but I just wanted to share with you what the pattern of this dress is. It's got a fabulous color scheme, and I wish I could keep wearing it. I'll just have to wear it as often as possible before it's too late. =P I love white, blue, and brown dresses, and this one is ruffly and gorgeous. So simple.

Two more days of class, and then I graduate! Keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I head in for finals on Tuesday. It'll be a long day of testing, but I'm not dreading it -- I just want to get it done!

God bless you all on this wonderful Sunday! ♥

Charity Haircuts on a Saturday!

I am up so early this morning to ready myself for some serious haircutting today!

I am going to go be a part of my local Give a Kid a Chance get-together, volunteering right up there with doctors and dentists to help children in families that can't afford much. The children will get free clothes, backpacks, teddies, medical exams, and, of course, haircuts -- my department. I have been looking forward to this event for a almost two or three weeks now, and today I am off to finally do it! Some of my cosmetology classmates are coming along too, along with my instructors, and the salon in town that I adore will be coming to join the haircutting forces!

I am wonderfully excited to use the gift God has given me for charity.

So, I'll be there doing that for several hours today, and then I come home and study. Finals are coming (the final finals! Hoorah!), and our state board exam drills are coming to a close. Wish me luck and pray for me, will you, readers?

I have no fancy pictures right now, so this one will have to do....

This is my Debra mannequin sitting in my hood dryer. She's so comfy there. ♥

Have a blessed Saturday, everyone!

(P.S. I am SO ready for Fall.)
