I'm All About Giveaways!

So, my last post was about a giveaway
and so it this one.
I do love the Sea Bags, and still want one
but I think I love this one more.

My friend Kellie, sent me an email today about this blog
Deals to Meals
(dealstomeals.blogspot.com)

It is a fun blog it has all sort of recipes
and fun hints on saving money while you grocery shop.

There giveaway is a BOSCH
and I really really really want to win!

My mom has a Bosch and I love it,
I want one so bad.
It can do everything,
and it makes it all so easy.
It has made making bread a piece of cake
and my favorite rolls are fabulous when made in it.

Here's the recipe to the best rolls ever!

Crescent Rolls
(Easiest recipe you'll ever find and they are out of this world)
1 cup of warm mashed potatoes
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 cup soft butter
2 eggs
1 Tbsp. yeast
1 1/2 cup warm water
add about 7 cups of Flour

Mix on lowest speed (#1) for 4 minutes
Divide dough into 3 balls
Roll the balls into circles and butter.
Then cut into triangles with a pizza cutter.
Roll into crescents and place on buttered cookie sheet.
Let rise til double.
Bake @ 375 for 15 minutes (approximately)

You will love them and never go back to your old rolls again.

Thank you Kellie for the Blog info and
thank you everyone for putting
up with yet another giveaway!

I did make cupcakes last week with my mom,
that I will post pictures of later.

Sea Bags

So, a couple of weeks ago I saw these
super cute sea bags
in a magazine while I was standing in
line at the grocery store.
They are made out of sails
that have sailed around the world,
then recycled and made into bags in
Portland, Maine.
When I got home that night I goggled them to see if I was
able to by one here in Arizona.

I did come across a blog, That I read everyday.
It's The Willow Home & Garden
I love it.
This is the cutest store I have ever seen.
It's here in Phoenix and
as soon as I have a
free day I want to go, if anyone wants to make plans to
take an afternoon and go let me know!

So, now to the important part...
on the blog I found, she is doing a
SEA BAG Giveaway
and I really really really want to win it.
To be entered multiple you have to become a
follower of the blog or
post a blog about it or
tweet/facebook about it!
Now that I become a follower and blogged about it
hopefully it will help increase my chances
because I really really really love love love
these SEA BAGS.

Now, I want to go to Portland, Maine
just to see where they
are made. Maybe Blake will get his mission call
(which we should know in less then two weeks)
then that will give me
an excuse to go there and shop.

The Color Wheel of Red


So I have this client, Janelle and she has crazy red hair.
It's Bright, Vibrant, and oh so shiney!
I loved it!

(Client)

The first time I did it in January I wanted
something crazy
like it but I was way to scared to do something like it!
So for the past 3 months i have been trying to
figure out what I could do.

(Marcia Cross)

I knew that I wanted something on the
Copper side like Marcia Cross.
I was reading in Behind the Chair
(hair magazine)
and there was a picture of her and her color formula.
I was in Luck!

I thought about it for 4 more days and
finally did it on Wednesday!
I am still a little stressed about it
but I am starting to love it!
It's browner then I wanted so next time
I will change the formula just a little,
I need to add more copper but it's a great start.

My mom likes it and that's a first!

Happy Anniversary Fantastic Sams!


The Salon has been open for a year, It's been so much fun, so stressful...
you name it I have probably felt it!


To celebrate we had a Luau! Here are a few pictures of the day!
I was so busy with clients that I didn't get to join the party
but it looks like they were having fun without me.

I have a fabulous Stylist.
