I love how it turned out - this is also a permanent dye, so it will last a good long while. It's awesome in a ponytail. Best part? My friend loves it :) Hard to cheer someone up from across the country, but I do what I can. Her surgery was last week, and although she is still in a lot of pain she's healing well.
Another personal update - today I am the mother of two teenagers. Riley turns 13 today!! I am not old enough to be the mother of two teenage boys, I'm just not. No big plans - we always do a 'birthday boy's choice' supper, and Riley wants an ice cream cake. Otherwise, opening presents & taking it easy (other than going to school - that little man has missed too much school being sick lately to miss another day!)
Alrighty, how about the card? Dark blue doesn't seem to be a colour I play with often, so I made a point of using it.
Supplies: washi tape from Jen! ; Spellbinders butterfly die; Mrs. Grossman's sticker sentiment; Tattered Angels glimmer mists in Sapphire, Blue Skies, and Turquoise Blue
The butterfly was cut out of white card stock, and sprayed thoroughly with the Sapphire mist. So shimmery!
And now to go & wake up the birthday boy....have a great day, even if it *is* Monday ;)xoxo,
Jessi

Awesome hair and I bet it really does look cool in a ponytail. You are the bestest friend a girl could have. :)

LOVE the new color, Jessi!! You are such a dedicated and supportive friend. Way to go!! Great card (love how you used the sticker sentiment over the washi tape!). And a HUGE happy birthday to Riley!!

You're an amazing friend, Jessi! You must have really lifted her spirits. Happy Birthday to the new teenager (just wait until you have a great grandchild--of course, it's by marriage--I'm not old enough either--LOL!) Love your blue & white card--great use of the sketch!
Belated happy birthday to your boy, Jessi. :)
