Circus Freaks!

Happy Halloween, everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend and the greatest holiday of the year!

In my family, we celebrate Halloween the weekend before, so that more of our friends can come. This year our party was on the 29th and it was a blast!!

Our theme was Circus Freaks.

We had conjoined twins, snake charmers, bearded ladies, and a wolfman,

A happy clown, a demented ring master, a fortune teller, a cat woman, and the electric woman,

And even my Daisy dressed up while we cleaned the backyard!

OH! Did I mention we go all out in our decorations? 

What did you dress up as for Halloween? I'll love to see pictures!

Love and Turtledoves,
Jacqueline

Little Hair Cut

For the longest time I've had straight bangs with a little frame around my face and for a few months I've trimmed them on my own. I bought my own hair scissors and managed to keep them in line for a while. Well, it's been a long time since I've done anything new with my hair and I am getting that itch. I am trying to grow it out, so no new cut and I love it black so no new dye... that left me with a new bang style.

Out with the old:

And in with the new!

I cut myself Betty bangs, which I've never had before. They're above my eyebrows, which is shorter than ever before and they curve up on the sides. I love how clean and thick then are, instead of parted and whispy all the time. Also, they're a lot more defined. I didn't really know how to cut my old bangs right, so for these it was really easy to section them off just right. Today I didn't wash them and they look perfect, so I'm really optimistic about these! 

Sometimes change is all you need to feel better about yourself.

P.S. Have you guy seen the new blogger posting page? I am in love!

Why I've been so quiet...

I apologize for being so quiet lately. Lately, I've had a lot on my mind and haven't been able to think about much else. So here is my good news that has been the only thing on my mind.

I'm moving to Las Vegas.

William and I have been going out for about a year now and have been long distance the entire time. We want to start a life together and have decided to make that leap. For a long time we've been talking about who will move where, but it's been a hard decision. We both have families and ties to our cities, but it really came down to price of living. Las Vegas is half the price of Southern California. So at the end of this year, I'll be moving to Nevada to live with the man I love. 

Although I am young, all my life I've wanted to be a real adult. All though high school I dreamt of a home and a steady job, being able to take care of myself and the one I love. I thought I'd feel better when college started, but it wasn't any different. I'm happy to say I'm starting my life, finally. I can't wait to share with you all my new adventures, hand in hand with my partner. It all starts December 28th!

Love and Turtledoves,

Halloween Lovebots are up in the shop!

 I posted these and three other Lovebots in the shop today!

I am so happy to show these to everyone, finally!

I am so happy to show you all my Skeleton Lovebot. He really came out so much better than I expected him to. I'll be making another one of him for my update next week, I love him that much.

Love and Turtledoves,
Jacqueline

P.S. I'd really like to thank everyone who regularly reads my blog. I appreciate it so much. I'd also really appreciate that, if you like my work, if you could please share new of my Lovebots with friends. Thank you so much.

Halloween Lovebots sneak peaks!

This whole week I have been hard at work at my first five Halloween Lovebots. I can't show you just yet because they're not all done. But I do have a few sneak peaks!

And because I've gotten so many positive comments about the back of my Lovebots that I decided to continue with my On. Off. Love. It's a little bit of a hassle to me, but if so many people find it a lovely part of my creations then it will stay.


And here's my "little' helper, Daisy Doodle.

I should finish the Halloween Lovebots tomorrow or Saturday and they'll go right up on my shop. I can't wait to show you!
Love and Turtledoves,

I need your input!

Recently I have been thinking hard about my business. I was wondering what other people thought about the "On. Off. Love." on the back of my Lovebots. I can't decide if I want to keep it or if I'd like to do without it.

So what do you think, my lovely readers? 

Should "On. Off. Love." stay or go?

Love and Turtledoves,
Jacqueline
