Hi everybody!

Things have been so busy lately, I haven't been able to post new pictures.
Thank you so much for all the kind messages and posts on my earlier threads.
I hope you are all having a wonderful 2012 so far!

Here are a few pictures of my look for today~ I made two ponytails, then braided the hair into 4-piece braids, and wrapped them both around into two braided buns.

As always=amazing! HOw long does it take you to do your hair in th emorning> My son was asking he is amazed(he's 17) at how long your hair is.

[Sushi144]

Very pretty, as usual. You have so many great ideas, and you seem to live in an idyllic garden ! ^^

[Ishje]

a truly gorgeous updo!

[arc691]

Aww, thank you, everybody!

@Celtic Morla, tell your son I said thank you :)
It took me about 10 minutes to do this look.

Your hair styles are amazing.

[jojo]

beautiful updo as usual! I am wearing a single braided bun today with little jaw clips!

[Peggy E.]

Ten minutes???!!! That's as amazing as are your fabulous styles! You must be working in extreme "fast-forward" to comb, separate, braid and style all that fabulous hair in only ten minutes.

I spend that amount of time just trying to figure out what to do with the mess on my head!

[hipiji]

Your hair is lovely

[Long_hair_bear]

Le sigh.... My hair is nowhere near that thick or long. :(

[Mommyof4]

So pretty as always! :)

[Kizuna]

That's a really cool hairstyle! :D I want to try that!

[PF Graham]

Following suit - amazing! I've always loved that hair color - my DX had the same color. (secretly, I always wanted that color...shhhhh).

I also like the shape of the up-do - meaning, sometimes all the detail of the bun / up-do can get a little lost but the braid you show here has a great shape when done.

The flower photography is very cool as well!

Lovely absolutely lovely!
I have to say I adore your postings, such pretty updoes and so much colour and vivaciousness, as life should be! :flowers:

[Knotted]

I know I've said it before, but I love your hairstyles! I look forward to your posts :)

[princessp]

I love your posts. Thank you for sharing your beautiful hair and updos! :)

[MandyBeth]

So pretty, but the 6 yo who comes running for your picture wants to know where Whimsey is. But your hair is just amazing as always!

[lapushka]

Very pretty! :)

Thank you so much, everybody, for your lovely comments :)

Ah, that's so cute! Here is a picture of Wimsey I took the other day~ he wanted to take a nap in my laundry basket lid with his Care-Bear.

Aaaaw cute doggy!!! <3

And your hair = Impressive! Incredibly beautiful! And it took only ten minutes to do that?
*jaw droped* o_O

Beautiful pictures too!

[RapunzelKat]

So pretty! Your hair is so beautiful :thud: And you did it in 10 minutes? :agape:
May I ask, have you always been able to braid so quickly, or is it just from lots of practice? I can do really simple stuff in 10 minutes, but something like that would probably take at least half an hour! :shrug:

[Teufelchen]

Really stunning again. :flower:
maybe I can do these styles as well some day.

[Nilaihah]

Wow, so pretty! :thudpile:

[BrightEyes]

Beautiful. Your hairstyles are always so stunning:)

[jeanniet]

Lovely! :)

Thank you so much, everybody! @RapunzelKat, I was in a hurry on Sunday morning so that's why I decided to fix my hair this way. Whenever I am not French braiding, it automatically takes me less time. Usually it takes me about 15-20 minutes, I guess, to fix my hair. Unless it is something new and complicated, or I'm having trouble getting my hair to do what I want it to, of course :)

Here's something funny I just had to share with you all: The Canadian view of Mt. Rushmore -

J says thank you for the picture, and she has the same teddy bear!

[Trish in SC]

Hi there ~ Beautiful! Love to see the hairstyles and the photographs of the flowers as well.

Do you have any step-by-step photos or videos to show the process of doing these fancy styles? Do yo u have a Youtube channel?

And, where do you get those butterfly clips? They are so tropical & fun!

Hahaha!! :lol: Nice :D

[arc691]

Hey! Thank you, everyone!

@MandyBeth - Oh, good! I'm so glad! And how sweet that they both have the same teddy bear :)


@Trish in SC - Thanks so much! I do have a youtube channel, but no hair videos uploaded. Sorry! It is just stuff related to my life here as a missionary. I get all my hair clips at a little store here on my island.

[darklion]

From the title, I was worried that you gave yourself a princess leia hairstyle. I should have known that you wouldn't go there!!! I think it looks magnificent! It looks so comfortable too. How nice that a quicker hairdo is so workable! (and able to be decorated).
I love the pic of Whimsey taking a nap. My guy won't let me take his picture anymore. I think I went a little hog-wild when he was young (erm... outfits and hats and photo sessions and the like). Now, he moves the minute I pick up the camera!!! No pics of my boy Dax. :(

[Qadupae]

Epic hair style as always, Arc ^_^ You are a hair artist.

[*Seraphina*]

Your posts always makes me happy :)

[Lisa R]

Gorgeous as usual!:)
