Gasp! I won something...

A week or so ago, Ashley posted a giveaway over at Ramblings and Photos. She was giving away two, really cute, vintage hair clips. I feel like I'm in a hair rut. I change my mind everytime I go to the salon as to which style I want. Layers, no Layers, long, short... I think my stylist is beginning to hate me.

I entered the giveaway, which was easy. I already followed Ashley's Blog, so I left a comment about how cute the clips were. Well.... wouldn't you know I won one! And, the purple one at that! (Either the purple or the orange would have been fine with me, I love both colors equally... go tigers!)



As any good photography blogger should do. I took some photos of my new prize. Have you ever tired to take photos of yourself in a mirror, with poor lighting? Its HARD! No lie, I took at least 100 photos of myself. Most were out of focus, or way off the mark.

Case in point....





But, I did manage to come up with a few that were decent enough to share...









I also realized I could wear it not only in my hair, but as I decorative clip on my work ID badge.



Thanks Ashley for the great prize. I hope to get a lot of use out of it!

Thanks Trendy Treehouse

Thank to Marlessa at Southern Reflections for choosing my By the Pool, Splish Splash picture as one of her top ten! I can't say enough how excited I am.
