i have a lot of things to be happy about right now:
one main thing is how much i am loving school!

this is helen. yes, i named my doll head.
and this is her very first updo! it was way fun! good, eh?

i have now successfully done:
cornrows
french twists
braids (fishtail and french)
manicures
shampoo sets
shampoo/blow-outs
and my not so favorite,
finger-waving

we are moving into color now, so to demonstrate and practice mixing colors...
we made THESE!!
first, the notes and a homemade color wheel:
+ 15 vanilla cupcakes that were amazing. =)
i loved mixing colors. this is something i can see myself doing in my freetime! lol.
the whole gang:
i thought they turned out beautiful!

i loved this pic so much i made it into a new blog button!

in other news, i'm reeeeally glad tomorrow is friday.

new season.


::photo via ffffound

for some reason, this made me think of the transitioning of seasons.
summer to fall.
it's late november here in good old utah and there isn't any snow...

umm. mother nature. what's up?
really.

i have been in such a creative place lately.
i have also been getting zero sleep.
it's currently 6 am, i am at my parents house for the weekend, and i have been up all night.

today i plan to:

make Christmas cards.
talk my mom into busting out all the Christmas decor.
make soup.
snuggle the cutest baby on the planet.
get happy mail packages ready.
package etsy orders.
get ready for my first day of school on MONDAY!
finish this little project.
hopefully take a nap.

did i miss anything? probably. hah!
what are your saturday plans?
