trick-or-read, and lots o' curlz.

katie is forever wanting me to curl her hair. alas, the girl has the same hair as her mother: fine, straight, and won't hold a curl to save it's life. when i use the curling iron on her it lasts all of about 15 seconds, and then it is stick-straight again. so, the other day at walmart, i picked up some foam rollers. figured i would give it a go and see if they held up any better. so we rolled her hair sunday night.....

and this was her hair monday morning.


she looked adorable. by the time i picked her up from school that day though nary a curl was in sight. ah, well.

in other recent crafty news, katie's class is having their halloween party on friday, and her teacher asked for donations of halloween prizes. i thought it was a good excuse to make these cute bookmarks, and a good use of lots of my scraps. and, a smart alternative to the abundance of candy that the kids will surely receive.

a rainbow of bookmarks. all 22 of them, ready to go.


i hope they love them!
