Deep breath... Ok so here it is---> I have decided to STOP relaxing my hair and to let it grow "AS IS"...

What this means to me is that my hair from now on will always be curly and kinda look like this for a while...

or this

or like this

when it's dry

LOL yeah similar to a Minnie Jheri (jerry) Curl that is until it grows completely out. Why did I do this you ask...

...insert Cee-Lo song "Driving me Crazy"

Well I don't right now but if you would have asked me several months ago I could have given some kinda answer.

I am Not my Hair... You know how sometimes you have a bad hair day or you're dressed down and someone out there wants to take your pic. and you say "oh unt ah".....

but they do it anyway---- or maybe you're hanging out and get caught up in a photo that turns bad....

...after all relaxer was cut...
Yes I'm feeling some kinda way right here...

Oh dee dah... that is the way I am feeling right now..Well it's official!

...sike...

and again..

Here is a video that lets you better understand the way I feel.

I'm happy....

I Love Thrifting Event Success

Patrice shopping at the Goodwill in Chattanooga also found a great bargain!

I had a great time and met some great people. Surely can't wait for the next one.

$2.50 Sunburst Mirror

Hi there! Today I want to talk about decorating your walls expensively!! Yeaa

Ok so.. In our Atlanta Studio I have draped the walls with fabric, applied
modern stainless steel panels, and adhesive stencils to the wall.

Here at our family home in Chattanooga I have recently added starburst mirrors, painted stripes and wall ledges.

So first off I want to talk about how I created this purty sunburst mirrors. I found the inspiration from DollarStoreCrafts.com.

Materials (many I already had)
-------------------------------------------------------------
$.97 bamboo sticks (walmart)
$1 mirror (dollar tree)
$1 styrofoam (dollar tree 2na pack!)
$1 smaller mirrors (optional purchased from Joanns)
glue gun n sticks
spray paint

The first mirror here was made for $2.50.. Woot!
(For this mirror I only had to buy the skewers, mirror and styrofoam)

Now this is very easy to make that a caveman can do it..ha

1. Arrange skewers around the circle styrofoam. ( I just pushed them right thru...hint u might want to hot glue them if you want)2. Then spray paint
3. Glue mirror to styrofoam
4. Finally, hang it!

Complete Just add paint

SEE!!!

Like those Drapes. Click here to see how they were made!

To hang:
Hammer a small name into the wall, then push the sunburst mirror onto it. It's just that easy..

Now if you add the smaller mirrors: just glue them onto the sticks in your desired order.

This mirror was made for the same as the first I only purchased purple spray paint and additional smaller mirrors.
