This is my granddaughter Abby. She is 5 going on 16!!!! I swear!!! Well you can see how much hair this girl is blessed with. Well Abby told my daughter that she wants to cut her hair and donate it to a little girl that has lost her hair due to cancer treatments. So at the salon where my daughter works they were able to cut Abby's hair and then donate it to Locks of Love from Abby.
All the employees of the salon were doing a throw back to the 80's. It was the salon's 30th birthday and all of them dressed like the 80's. So it was big hair day all around lol! |
Love your angel and your grand-daughter is a true angel. Great post.

she is so precious, and such a generous heart at a young age. I love her new "do". adorable!
ReplyDeleteKris, I love this post. Your granddaughter has a true loving heart. She is cute as can be in her new do, and those sparkling nails. I had to laugh at Terry's expression getting his nails done. He's a trooper. I know that was a fun time for all. Also I have to say your dress form angel is awesome !! Blessings to all, xoxo,Susie

ReplyDeleteKris,
ReplyDeleteYour angel is beautiful and to me symbolizes peace. Now your precious earth angel grand daughter has a gracious huge heart. Her gift is one out of love. Sweet Abby's new do looks pretty. I showed John the photo of Terry and here is his exact words "Oh geeze"! Kris your family rocks!
Sending love,
Vera
Your angel is beautiful! And so is your sweet granddaughter!
ReplyDeleteAbby's love came first in a beautiful generous way!
ReplyDeleteA real giving heart.
I have to mention many years ago my daughter Hannah did the same thing for locks of love where her class room girls all joined in, well most of them that could. It was a tear jerking moment for all of us.
Abby with her big girl bob looks adorable, and the mani pedi is perfect, celebrating the day with grandma and grandpa....tell Terri I have quite a few guy friend who often get nails and toes groomed it's becoming a trendy guy thing as well.
What a good sport Terri was to indulge his granddaughter a moment in time she won't forget :)
The feather wing quote I love, and the wings are great, Kris have you tried them on? .... I know you sure deserve to wear them as often as you want!
Looking forward to your Christmas home tour.
Xx

ReplyDeleteYour dress form looks beautiful all transformed into an angel. Your grand daughter's hair is beautiful! It's so thick and shiny. I love her cute hair cut and she is so sweet to think of doing something nice for someone else. Your husband is hilarious with that look on his face. You know he secretly liked having that done though!
ReplyDeleteI don't even know where to start...Abby is super generous and sweet. What a lovely, very grown up gesture. She looks amazing with her new do, that long bob is THE in style right now. Fabulous! I also love how your tight and supportive your whole family is and I think that Terry is a super sport. What a great granddad to go along and indulge! :)
ReplyDeleteThe dress form looks quite pretty all dressed up! You've got one very special grand-daughter! What a lovely gesture to want to do, and do, for such a young age. Her new hair do is adorable on her. Your hubs have a very funny look on his face...like why are you taking a picture of me doing this?
ReplyDeleteLOOK at Abby with that haircut! That is adorable!!!! SweetCheeks wants her cut like that, too, but they cant' do it until after her dance recital because she has to wear an updo. I love how Abby looks in that cut!
ReplyDeleteLOL at Terry getting "all pretty"...ya don't think of a fireman as being "prettified"...lol He is a good sport.

The dress form angel is awesome and your granddaughter is just precious! What a mature young lady at only 5 years old to help someone else who is less fortunate. Thank you for sharing with us. It's so nice to see stories of love and kindness in this world.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day,
Karen
Love the mannequin and the granddaughter story and grandpa
ReplyDeleteHi Kris, what a fun day with your loved ones! Your sweet grand is so adorable. I am so amazed at how old some children are now days. I think she is an old Spirit. They teach us. I love the look on Terry's face! What a sweetheart. I'm in love with your dress form. It's like having a grown up Barbie! Have a wonderful day, a package should be arriving today or tomorrow. Hugs, Jo
ReplyDeleteI love it all! Your mannequin, your granddaugher's generosity, her pretty new do and all of you getting a mani and pedi!
ReplyDeleteI did not know Locks of Love was still going! I donated 20 inches back in 1976. Looks like a fun reward for her kindness.
ReplyDeleteThank you to your granddaughter for doing such a thoughtful thing for others. She looks lovely with her pretty polish, too.
ReplyDeleteTerry's looks, just hilarious! Thanks for the chuckle.
*Smiles*
Hi Kris! Wow! Your angel mannequin is wonderful! I love the additions of the bling and those wings are really gorgeous! I really like the saying on your chalk board as well! What a wonderfully generous thing for Abby to do! Such a big heart she has and her new do is so cute! I really like it! Love the red sparkly polish too - what a treat! I can see that Terry really loved the experience - what color polish did he pick out? LOL I think I'd better duck before I get the long-distance thwapp! It sounds like a great and fun day and so wonderful that you were able to be there with her to show how important her generous deed was! Congrats on being chosen for the house tour too! I can't wait to see all the angels - you know how much I love them. Enjoy! Hugs, Leena
ReplyDeleteAbby is fantastic! And she' s got a sweet hearth. Your angel is fairy
ReplyDeleteHugs

First of all, your sweet Abby is just precious! I have hair envy! She looks so pretty with her new bob. I wish my hair was half that thick. It's such a wonderful thing to watch little ones do something from their heart.
ReplyDeleteYour angel is gorgeous and I love the quote on the chalkboard. So, what ARE you going to wear? ;)
Hope Terry enjoyed his mani/pedi...Magoo loves to go. I'll admit the first time was a bit traumatic, but after he saw other men there he was ok. Who in their right mind doesn't love a mani/pedi???
I'm so glad you are having fun decorating. xoxo, T.
What a doll baby Abbey is, you all must be so PROUD. he looks so cute getting manicure. Love the angel.
ReplyDeleteCindy
Your dress form angel is so pretty, Kris. Bless Abby's heart for donating her gorgeous locks. I can't believe she's only 5 years young with all that hair. Love her new haircut!
ReplyDeleteKris,
ReplyDeleteLove your angel....and your granddaughter is adorable. What a wonderful gift she has given. She has a generous heart like her Grandma11
Kathleen
Your angel looks fabulous Kris! And Abby is so adorable with her new haircut. How wonderful of her to donate her locks. Such a gift!
ReplyDeleteAw, your little Angel Abby is even sweeter than your dress form angel! What a sweetheart - Locks of Love is such a wonderful cause. And Terry - what a good sport he is! Jane
ReplyDeleteHi Kris,
ReplyDeleteI loved reading this post and it really warmed my heart, your Abby is something truly special...and now you can tell her about all the comments you had about her special gift on your post! Such a great thing to donate your hair to such a worthy cause. And I love her new hair-do, and you are right...she looks older than 5, so cute!
And your angel...wow Kris, it is just gorgeous! And I love the angel saying on the chalk board too!
Have a wonderful week!
Hugs, Kimberley
Your dress form is lovely. Your granddaughter is even more lovely. It is so hard to teach compassion and empathy, bless her that she has them.
ReplyDeleteYour angel is magnificent...those feather wings are beyond amazing!....and then there is your other angel. She looks adorable in her new haircut. You are blessed with such a beautiful family. Terry actually looks very comfortable in that chair!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little girl. Such a great post! Thanks for sharing :-)
ReplyDeleteYay, Abby! What an inspiration she is, Kris. And boy, does she ever have amazing hair. She looks so cute with her new "do". You should brag on this girl. . .who wouldn't? Terry has such a funny look on his face. Hah! Sounds like you three had a great time. Love your Christmas angel. Brilliant! xo
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet, Kris...and she looks so cute in her new do! She will always remember this...xo
ReplyDeleteKris- Someone just told me I show up as a NoReply blogger. Can you let me know if I show up that way here? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLoved this post, Kris! Your Abby is just beautiful and what a wonderful cause she donated to. And your angel is gorgeous. Hope your week is going well.
ReplyDeleteLook at all that hair, isn't she adorable and what a great gift for someone. She's perfect, just like the angel you are creating.
ReplyDeleteAbby is the most adorable thing....and of COURSE you want to brag....it's what us Grandmothers do...it's our job. :)
ReplyDeleteYour angle is so pretty. I am real funny about just "parts" of bodies...like only heads with candles coming out the top...or those praying hands...and most of the time, just wings bother me...but your pretty feather wings seem to "belong" to a body so I love them. Now, all we need to do is find a pretty HEAD....:).....just kidding.
Of course she picked out red sparkle! Love that. And love that she donated her hair. That is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteAwe, what a sweetheart! Wow, I can't believe the amount of hair she had/has. Sounds like the three of you had an awesome day together. Now onto that fabulous dress form...oh my am I swooning over those angel wings. The saying on the chalkboard above it is priceless!
ReplyDeleteHugs from Canada,
Oh my gosh what a girl !
ReplyDeleteIt takes an Angel to raise an angel who then raises another one - so it all started with you girlfriend
Loved this post !
xoxo
Absolutely beautiful angel you've created, Kris! Where, oh where did you find the feather wings? I love the chalkboard quote too! You are truly amazing with your decorating talent.
ReplyDeleteYou've created a real live angel too...maybe a few of them. :) Abby must have an awesome Mom besides her Mimi. Such a generous gift from such a sweet girl. Her new hair style is adorable!
This time of year adds to the missing of my Abby. She loved all holidays but especially Christmas! One day I'm going to put up a tree and the next I'm not. Guess we'll see what happens...
xo
Pat
You are soooo creative gorgeous Kris - I love the dress form!
ReplyDeleteWOW your darling grandie Abby is such a sweetie having her hair cur off and donating her beautiful locks to a little girl in need.
What an exceptional human being - she could teach us all a thing or two.
Kids amaze us don't they - they have no barriers or hang ups!
I'm sure her Mimi is a big influence in her life.
It's such fun to do girly things together and bless Terry for being such a good sport and joining in too!
Hugs to you my sweet friend
