Random Compliments

Am I the only one who absolutely adores compliments? No? I didn't think so. I've been working hard recently on making my own hair accessories. Not only because there's a giant hole in my beautiful new vintage-styled wallet (which my mother dear gave to me) but because things seem to end up so much more breathtaking after you've worked hard at making them with your own hands.

Which is why when I made a mint green bow for my hair, I was ecstatic when someone told me how adorable it was and not just anyone, my teacher! Well, I guess professor is the correct term but the word professor is so drab and boring and he's such a bubbly little character. And that was the first of many! So the next day, I tried to be a tad bit more daring, (well as daring as this little coward can be) I took a rainbow colored cloth flower, that was originally for scrapbooking, and turned it into a hair pin. Not too difficult, but a big nerve wracking in a way because it's so big and bright and eye-catching.

Nevertheless, I donned my bright new hair accessory and traipsed off to school where I didn't get a single compliment. Not one. But at the mall! Why, yes. Yes I did. On the elevator to be exact, on my way to buy more ribbons. Aren't compliments just lovely?

Truly Yours,
