In The Pink

In The Pink

You may be sitting there, staring at your screen, thinking what on earth is she talking about NOW? Well, let me clarify. Back around the time of the first reveal of Lori Anderson’s 6th Bead Soup Blog Party, a very great idea came to one of the participants-to do something special and amazing that would shower Lori with love and appreciation, and would reflect just how grateful we were that she not only coordinates the Blog Parties, but hosts them, pairs us up with amazing partners, and overall works herself to the bone to make sure our jewelry, our art, is what shines through when all is said and done. To show our unity in our appreciation and support, several of us have gone “pink”  as Lori is known for her sweet fuchsia highlights! After thinking long and hard on how I can join this blog hop, and still be a presentable bridesmaid in my brother’s wedding a few weeks later, I opted to turn to digital solutions and was quite pleased with the result:

Now that the wedding is over, I am contemplating a shocking new color!

Along with our hair, and anything else we felt needed to be pink, we wrote sentiments for Lori, to let her know how special we feel she is:

Dear Lori,
Thank you for all the hard work you put into making the Bead Soup Blog Party #6 such an incredible one! I am amazed at all you accomplish in such little time, and single-handedly no less! Your blog hop has not only restored my faith in human kindness, but it has given me a great opportunity to connect with like-minded people all over the world who all share the love of creating beautiful things.You have created a wonderful community, one that I am proud to be a part of.
Love,
Heather Otto
I truly enjoyed the Blog Party, and look forward to Lori’s next one! Follow the links below to see how others celebrated Lori!

  1. A great post, Heather — and fantastic photo-editing!!! You will have to let us know if you do decide to do something “bold” in the near future. Would love to see! 🙂

  2. You know, that pink looks pretty with your gorgeous pale skin, but I bet you’d look great in any shade you’d chose! You could also give lessons on photoshop. I am clueless how to do something a fun as this, so I had to go ahead and give the temp color a quick run through. It didn’t stick around long…

  3. Fantastic job on the pic 😉 And yes you should consider adding in a splash of color 🙂 Try some streaks, or tips… or do a chunk of your bangs… plenty of options out there… then you just have to decide on the color… lol

  4. I remember how I thought your hair was really really real 🙂 you look great and you should go pink! Wonderful tribute, and your sentiments are lovely.

    Big hugs,
    Rita
