good times

Itty bitty Destany, back when I was first learning to care for her beautiful curls. :)

I wish I could remember how I ran across the Adoption Hair & Skincare Yahoo group. Especially since it has brought some pretty amazing people our way! I joined when Destany was a few months old, and most of what I've learned about natural haircare, I learned from those amazing ladies.

Shortly after joining this group of 2,000+ adoptive families, I met Cate, then Brit and Elise. Brit and Cate and their families are special parts of our lives. And Elise and her girls are now family. (Are we blessed, or what?!)

A few weeks ago, Brooklyn and I flew out and brought Claire & Kyndra here to visit. Then Elise came and joined us for the last couple of days.

Brooklyn's first flight!

Claire & Andy went on a Niece/Uncle date to Mojo's.

Cuddly pajama girls.

There were many tea parties!

When Elise came, she prepped a bazillion veggies for me to cook. We'd just received our CSA produce, and I was a bit overwhelmed!

The obligatory 'nice' picture.

How they really look.

The picture *they* prefer to take.

The Mamas....just because. :)

Auntie & Uncle. The girls love saying it, and we love hearing it. And don't try to tell the kids they aren't 'real' cousins. They won't believe you. :)

hair snaps for sale!

'Just Basic' Heart Snaps

Update: Everything has sold! Thanks for all your support. I feel so encouraged today. :)

These hair snaps were a special part of my early days of doing hair. I found them through an adoption hair care group, and over time I invested in quite a collection! We use them at the ends of braids and twists. They look great on their own, and we also use them to add beads. They are much easier and quicker to use than the other methods of adding beads!

With almost two years of unemployment under our belts, we have decided to sell anything we have around the house that is no longer needed. I am hoping to sell about half of my hair snap collection. I hope you enjoy these as much as we did! :)

The Fine Print:

As with all products produced in bulk, these are not perfect. A few may be missing the little jewel or have crooked paint or faded dots, although I tried to sort those out. Occasionally I have run across a snap that doesn't close correctly (I toss those). Many of these are brand new, so I am assuming they will work right.

Price is approx. 8 - 12 cents per snap, depending on size.

Please add $1.50 for shipping for the first two sets, and $.50 per set after that.

You can pay me by Paypal (andykiara@cox.net) or cash/check if you are local. If paying by Paypal, please note exactly which snaps you are purchasing, and I will update the blog often. (First come, first served, according to when emails arrive. :)
