Haircuts.... by Isabelle



This morning, I made some cards with Isabelle and Caleb.There was an online challenge. You are supposed to make a card within 45 minutes and you can upload it to the gallery if you want. Last night, Isabelle helped me make one card.
Today the first challenge was posted at 10 AM (mountain time). Isabelle and Caleb were excited, and picked out a few word stamps that they might want to use while we waited for the challenge. We knew that it was going to use crayons, so we were ready with those.
The challenge was to use leaves to make leaf rubbings and put it on a card. We went outside and picked some leaves, and then they did the leaf rubbings. They each got to pick some cardstock to use. After that, Caleb lost interest and decided to go outside.
Isabelle continued. She cut out her leaves, stamped some words, drew some more with crayons and added glitter. Then she decided to take her scissors and cut some more leaves off the trees... Sounds perfectly reasonable... right? About 5-10 minutes later the doorbell rang. Our neighbor noticed that Isabelle was giving Caleb a haircut, and came over to let me know. When I went outside, I saw that Caleb had hair all over him and there was hair everywhere. I then noticed that some of the hair was pretty long.... I think you can see where this is going.


I took a picture of the back of Caleb's head while he was sleeping. I didn't think he would hold still long enough while he awake. Some of the spots on top of his head look almost bald. His hair is maybe 1/8-1/4 inch in places.
Isabelle was happy with her haircut. She said, "I like haircuts." Maybe I should hide the scissors!
I have appointments for myself and Isabelle to get haircuts on Monday morning. I thought we would get her bangs trimmed, and maybe a couple inches off of the rest. Now I think she is going to get a very short haircut. There are some spots that are only a couple of inches. I will post pictures of how her hair turns out on Monday.

Stamped Notebook Cover

This weekend I did alot of stamping. On Thursday, I went to Michael's and picked out crafting things for my mother's day present. At Jonie's, I made this notebook cover for a mini legal pad. I will put more projects on later.
