Bummer

So many good things have happened lately, that I hate to be a bummer. My Angel is the most selfless person I know and I feel so blessed to have her as my daughter. She made me so proud this last week. She let go of something she was PETRIFIED to ever let go. Please click HERE to read her incredible story of how she overcame a great fear. She is writing a blog about her view of Cancer, and how her little brother's journey to overcome it is affecting all who meet him. I will give you a clue at the end of this post.
Here's the bummer: my wrist and thumb are hurt again, which means no hair styling other than straightening and simple twists, and also no tutu making. I'm hoping and praying I won't need hand surgery as those don't usually have a positive outcome, and using my hands creatively is my outlet to get through being a mom to my 3 healthy children, and being the backbone to my sweet little boy who needs a strong mama.
I will be going over all my archived hairstyles and doing picture tutorials on my FB page while my wrist heals. They will be put into albums, with step-by-step instructions, as that is quicker for me to post it there rather than here. The FB page is "Dreamweaver Braids."
I am truly sorry to those who may have wanted to order tutus in the next few months. We'll see what the hand surgeon says. So enough sob story, here's some pics of Angel's very sweet sacrifice:


This is 6 weeks afer a 4inch cut, and 1 1/2 inches had alreay grown back.
6 weeks later, 3 more inches had grown. (I know, she has her dad's hair growth genes and yes, I am incredibly jealous.)  Any guesses yet:

Yes, that's 10 1'2 inches of hair tied in a ponytail, in a plastic bag for Locks of Love.
We could have cut an inch or 2 more, but it's 115 degrees here, so she needed enough left to pull it up off her neck and cool off!
The end result:

Her hair is so thick I had to straighten it so it wouldn't "poof" but she loves it, and I love her pure heart. Since I won't be blogging on here a while, please follow her blog http://www.hopeforadam.blogspot.com and please check out Adam's fb page "Adam's Hope" for updates. We could sure use the support :) I hope you feel inspired to do something great for someone today!
