Property Details
House, 4 Bedrooms, 3 Baths, 16 Sleeps
Located between Gun Lake and Hastings this 20 year old home has 2400 sq. ft., with 300 feet of frontage on Head Lake, a sandy, all-sports lake in Barry County. It is only 45 min. from downtown
Grand Rapids/ Kalamazoo and 15 min. from Hastings.
This house is cozy for one family but can easily handle a
large group. It sleeps 14 very comfortably. The
house is beautifully decorated, with a finished walk-out basement,
and has French doors to the lake on 3 levels, decks on 2 of them,
and a front porch with popiezon chairs.
The lakefront offers you privacy for sunbathing with a sandy
beach for kids to play on. The lake gets deep gradually. We enjoy a
southern exposure allowing you the opportunity to sunbathe on the
dock, the beach, or the deck. With large shade trees for when
you've had enough of the sun.
Come and enjoy the quiet and serenity this place has to
offer. It's so quiet it will make you feel like you have your own
private lake; and with 300' of frontage, no roads anywhere in sight,
a long driveway, and, more parking space then you'll need, this
place is truly unique among lakefront properties. Much of the
lakeshore is still natural; lined with trees and not houses. Wake
up to sunrises and deer and go to sleep listening to the frogs and
Experience all the comforts of a home away from home from
the moment you arrive and drive right into the attached 2-stall
garage to unload. Relax in the lounge chairs on the 30' deck with a
tall iced tea. As you soak up the view, you'll take those first
deep breaths of relaxation and feel the responsibilities and cares
slipping away.

4.2 based on 4 traveler reviews
good, but should be aware....
Also, we never charge for "little things that fall apart with gentle use". We expect accidental breakage and household repairs.
The dishwasher is a General Electric that we purchased brand-new about 4 years ago. It is so quiet when it starts, that you may keep pushing buttons thinking its not working and actually putting it into a delayed wash cycle.
About your comment on the vacuum- we agreed- we have already purchased a new one! However, the old one did a fine enough job for what we expected from you. All we have ever asked for as far as cleaning is concerned, is that you wipe up spills like milk or coffee, etc., do dishes, and vacuum. Sometimes it's obvious that the people didn't have time to vacuum and we're okay with that. We know how it is, trying to get everybody packed and out by 10:00 from when we go other places. Charges are incurred by the more extraordinary damages, and out of the 7 years we've been doing this we've only had to charge people a handful of times.
We do offer a linen service for those of you who don't want to do all the laundry yourselves. Can't blame you for not liking that! That's a lot of sheets and towels for 16 people.
We just want you to have a wonderful vacation week and were truly sorry it was anything less than perfect for you. Just talk to us and we'll help you in any way we can. Thanks again for your comments that can help us know your needs better!
2nd visit to your lovely lakehouse and we love it!
What a beautiful home and lovely grounds!
WOW!!! Best vacation we EVER had!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hiking, boating, fishing were all incredible on this property... and the best part of it all - IT WAS SO QUIET AND PEACEFUL! Like here we are, on this private all-sport lake in the middle of wooded and rolling hillside country (NOT EVEN 10 MINUTES away from another lake that is overrun) and for a WHOLE WEEK I only saw 2 or 3 other boats... we couldn't believe it! Even on the weekend it was peaceful enough to fish anywhere on the lake without a disturbance.
And the fishing was FANTASTIC!!! We cooked our Small Mouth Bass over our fire and ate until we thought we'd explode... mmmmm best tasting fish, must be due to it being a spring-fed lake.
The house and property... all I can say is the only reason we left is because our week was up - WE'D ALL STAY THERE FOREVER!!!!!! What a beautiful home, furnished elegantly, tastefully, yet simple enough that anyone would feel comfortable there. The kitchen was so awesome my wife nearly cried to leave it, the game room(s) were so much fun my kids can't wait to come back, the rooms were large and very comfortable (nicer than home) and again... the fishing was great - I nearly cried having to leave!
Thank you Bob, Mary, Cassie & James for making our family vacation a memory we will cherish FOREVER! We'll be back!
Best kept secret!

On January 26, 2011, as required under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") jointly proposed new disclosure requirements for investment advisers to private funds. The proposed rules require certain information about private funds to be disclosed by electronically filing a new reporting form called "Form PF" with the SEC. The information provided in the Form PF will be used by the Financial Stability Oversight Council to monitor systemic risk in the financial system.
The proposed SEC rule requires Form PF to be completed and filed by investment advisers who are (1) registered or required to register with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act"), and (2) who manage one or more private funds. The proposed CFTC rule applies the same Form PF filing requirement to commodity pool operators ("CPO") and commodity trading advisers ("CTA") who are (1) registered or required to register with the CFTC under the Commodity Exchange Act (the "CEA"), (2) registered or required to register with the SEC under the Advisers Act, and (3) who also manage one or more private funds. For managers registered with both the SEC and CFTC, filing Form PF would be deemed a filing with both the SEC and the CFTC.

Once again the central question about the iPad for photographers is not addressed. How effectively can you use it to upload RAW files to the cloud? This is what traveling photographers need to do. Sort thru their pictures & upload the real keepers to a safe place.
The rest is pretty much in all the ads & spec sheets. I don't have an iPad to try this out.

Soderberg Gallery and Studio -
As the first woman to own a bronze foundry in the United States, Heather Söderberg's sculptures have earned her regional and world wide attention, including the "Sacagawea, Pompi, and Seaman" commissioned by the Port of Cascade Locks.
Daily foundry tours (call ahead for a schedule). Studio hours are Monday through Thursday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Tuesdays and Wednesdays by appointment.
In 2009 she bought the foundry she worked at and moved it to the heart of the Columbia River Gorge. The move was the catalyst that would propel her work to a meteoric level."Heather Söderberg's "Sacagawea, Pompi, and Seaman" commissioned by the Port of Cascade Locks has gained regional and worldwide attention for it's emotional impact. This piece highlights Heather's talent as it probes deeply and sensitively into our cultural consciousness to seek those distinctive American elements that together constitute our artistic and cultural heritage. Heather's open forms evoke a truly symbolic reference to American spiritual growth."

Reykjavik, Iceland
My Rating
Really enjoyed the Golden Circle trip and would definitely recommend. We were fortunate enough to be on a small 12 seater coach with only 8 passengers, which made it an easy group to manage and the driver/guide kept up a pretty impressive narrative through the day . The Rift Valley was great to see as were the falls and geysers. The other sites were less to my taste but nevertheless worth a visit . The only issue was the cold but with Iceland in February, what do you expect?.
Reykjavik, Iceland
My Rating
The Blue Lagoon was an interesting experience but not best value for money for me. The trip was fine but €65 a head for entrance, towel and robe was a bit steep IMO. Also, despite the temperate of the water, the cold wind made my head ache, so wear a hat if it's cold !!
Reykjavik, Iceland
My Rating
Excellent experience! We were lucky enough to see the Lights very early on and got a second, even better showing at the parliament field. Obviously, not guaranteed to get a showing but you can't go to Iceland and not do this trip

A View from the Editorial Board: Invasion of the full-body scanners
On Oct. 15 Michael Roberts, an ExpressJet pilot in full uniform on his way to his home base in Houston, refused to pass through the Advanced Imaging Technology device -- a.k.a. the "full-body scanner" -- at Memphis International Airport. This is the controversial new technology that essentially allows Transportation Security Administration officers to view potential travelers without their clothing.
The pilot also refused the alternative, an enhanced pat-down by TSA officials. According to recent news reports, this "pat-down" is a new procedure in which a TSA officer searches you, not by patting with the back side of the hand, but by sliding his or her hands palms down along your body. This includes your genital area and, if you are a woman, above, around and beneath your breasts.
Roberts, having refused both search procedures, was then refused entry onto the plane by TSA workers and detained at the airport for questioning before he was allowed to return home, his job status uncertain.
A week later, Roberts and his attorney said they're "moving forward with a lawsuit" against the federal government over airport screening procedures. It will join many more cases, any one of which could prove to be the litigation that once and for all draws a line in the sand between an individual citizen's right to privacy and the power of the government to supersede this right in the name of homeland security.
The right to privacy was codified by the Fourth Amendment in the Bill of Rights: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Considering this amendment in light of TSA procedures, what stands out is the issue of "probable cause." Probable cause for viewing or feeling every passenger's body is, by definition, the act of entering the secured area of an airport. This is regardless of the passenger's intent, behavior, criminal record or lack of same, citizenship status and age. In other words, we citizens of the United States, once so proud of our liberty, are now identified as potential criminals whenever we fly.
Will the new scanning technology improve safety? With its plans to install about 1,000 of the machines by year's end, obviously the TSA supports that belief.
Like most Homeland Security schemes, this decision to implement so many full-body scanners is reactive, in response to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's attempt last year to ignite his underwear on a Christmas Day flight from Amsterdam to Detroit. Shortly after that incident, Michael Chertoff, the second secretary of Homeland Security under the George W. Bush administration, was everywhere, touting the need for full-body scanners. What Chertoff didn't advertise was that his security consulting company, the Chertoff Group, represented one of the two federally approved manufacturers of the full-body scanners.
The alternative for those who object to exposing their body to an unseen operative is the "enhanced pat-down." On Oct. 27 Rosemary Fitzpatrick, an employee for CNN and a seasoned traveler, experienced this so-called pat-down at the Orlando, Fla., airport after her underwire bra was detected by a magnetometer. The experience left her in tears and feeling "helpless," "violated" and "humiliated." If this is how a seasoned traveler reacted to the procedure, try to imagine the likely reaction of a survivor of rape or other violent act.
Yes, we need security at airports, but even if we accept the loss of privacy, are we getting what we need with the new technology? Critics question whether the new devices and techniques would have been able to detect the powdered explosives Abdulmutallab concealed in his underwear. They suggest there are other options, some inspired by the Israeli model that supplements traditional scanning with observation and questioning of passengers while they wait in line. What is not questionable is that information identifying Abdulmutallab as a potential threat was available; he should have been caught before he boarded the plane.
The failure on Christmas Day 2009 was not in the technology, but on the human side of security. The most advanced technology -- even scanners that conduct virtual strip searches -- can't fix that.

As part of a major bridge rehabilitation project, the Scioto River Bridge on S.R. 348, located immediately east of S.R. 104 at Lucasville, will be closed one night next week for a deck pour.
The overnight closure will go into effect at 10 p.m. Wednesday, April 30, and continue until approximately 4 a.m. Thursday. While the route is closed, traffic will be detoured via S.R. 104 North to S.R. 32 East to U.S. 23 South. Operations will be contingent upon the weather, with the alternate date scheduled for Thursday, May 1.
Shelly and Sands was awarded a contract for approximately $2.6 million to rehabilitate the four-span structure, and throughout most construction, S.R. 348 will be reduced to one lane, and traffic will be maintained with temporary signals. All work associated with the project is anticipated to be completed in late fall.

Imagine if you could accompany all those cool new moves you've just learned from Mortal Combat or reruns of Bruce Lee's finest celluloid moments with some genuine sound effects ... it would be like actually being in the game or movie. With a Dragon Grip in your Fist of Fury, that's precisely what's on offer. The joystick-like device is pre-loaded with fighting sounds inspired by the cheesy-but-classic kung fu movies of the 1970s like Enter the Dragon, that had all the kids in our neighborhood running around barefoot and shirtless with red lipstick wounds painted across their chests.

Well, while affordable close-to-human-sized toy robots are still not a reality, TJ* at least offers up the most expressive part of one – the head. About three-fifths the size of an actual adult human head, TJ* incorporates three user-controlled micro servos, that move its eyeballs up and down, left and right, and that open and close its mouth. Some interesting extra features are also in the works. Read More
If you ever had more than one type of toy for building things as a child (LEGO, Tinkertoys, Duplo, etc.), odds are you tried to mix the sets together at some point with creative, though disastrous, results.

Glowstly Pencil Topper
By: Lisa Pavelka for AMACO
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Create this pencil topper from AMACO using FIMO® Soft Nightglow clay that's fun all year round! After baking, hold under a light to make him glow. The more light you expose it to, the longer it will glow. Great for party projects or favors, this friendly ghost will make any Halloween party a hit. Suitable for all ages 5 and up.
- FIMO® Soft Polymer Clay - Glow in the Dark, Black, Mandarin, and Emerald
- Pencil
- Toothpick
- Ruler
- Oven Thermometer
- Knead 1/4 block of Nightglow clay until soft and pliable.
- Roll the clay into a log (about 2" long)
- Push the pencil up and into one end of the clay log until almost touching the other end, but don't push the pencil through.
- Take the toothpick and poke two holes for eyes. Twirl the toothpick while pulling it up and down slightly to form oval eye holes.
- Roll two tiny bead size balls of black clay into balls. Roll these balls back and forth to form them into ovals and press them into the eye holes.
- Roll a ball of Mandarin (orange) clay the size of a large pea. Drag vertical lines into the clay with toothpick to form the lines of the pumpkin.
- Roll a tiny pinch of Emerald clay into one or two thin snakes. Press these at the top of the pumpkin and twist and swirl these for the vines of the pumpkin. Cut the excess clay off using the toothpick.
- Roll to large peas sized balls of Nightglow clay into teardrop shapes by rolling along one side the ball with your finger.
- Press the pointed ends of the teardrops on either side of the ghost's body, just below the eye level to secure.
- Insert the pumpkin in between the wide ends ("hands") of the ghost and gently press them together to secure and hold the pumpkin.
- Stand the pencil in a mug or glass and bake in a preheated 230-265ºF oven for 30 minutes. When the ghost and glass are cool, remove and charge under a light for several minutes.
- When it's time to replace your pencil, gently twist your ghost to loosen and remove to add to a new pencil. Tip: a small dot of poster tack added at the top of the eraser can help hold the ghost more securely on the pencil.

- Five hundred patients treated with company's AXXESS(TM) System to date -
LAKE FOREST, Calif., Dec. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Devax, Inc., a medical device company focused on developing next generation products for interventional cardiology, today announced that the Company has completed patient enrollment in the DIVERGE clinical trial evaluating its novel AXXESS(TM) Bifurcation Stent System. The DIVERGE trial, a prospective, multi-center trial which enrolled 302 patients, is the largest study conducted to date with a drug-eluting stent specifically designed for treating bifurcation lesions.
Bifurcation lesions are areas of atherosclerotic disease occurring at a location where one large vessel divides into two smaller vessels. A number of scientific papers estimate these lesions may occur in more than 500,000 people per year, or approximately 20 percent of all patients undergoing a stenting procedure worldwide.
"The DIVERGE trial and the AXXESS(TM) System are important because of the frequent presentation of bifurcation lesions in our daily clinical practice," said Stefan Verheye, M.D., Ph.D., co-principal investigator of the study and co-director of the Antwerp Cardiovascular Institute at the Middelheim Hospital in Antwerp, Belgium. "Conventional drug-eluting stents are technically challenging to place in bifurcation lesions since they are not designed for the unique anatomical characteristics of coronary bifurcations. As a result, these types of lesions are associated with high complication and restenosis rates compared to conventional lesions. We will submit the data for the next appropriate medical meeting."
To date, more than 500 patients worldwide have been treated using the AXXESS(TM) Bifurcation Stent System. More than 400 patients have received the drug-eluting version of the stent.
"The DIVERGE data will help guide our development and registration

SIXTY Beverly Hills
9360 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, CA, USA
Neighborhood: Beverly Hills
The SIXTY group continues its westward expansion with this Beverly Hills outpost, built from the bones of a Sixties-era chain motel on Wilshire Boulevard. Not that you'd notice — if the SIXTY is retro, it's retro of the Seventies chocolate-leather variety, rather than another revival of the mid-century motel.
It's a sexy, dark-toned and masculine look, one that works well for a hotel like the SIXTY, where the emphasis is less on tucking in for a night's sleep (any old budget chain can manage that) and more on dining, drinking and entertaining, not to mention shopping — you're just a few blocks from the famed shopping district around Rodeo Drive.
The nightlife begins at Caulfield's, a restaurant with a charmingly split personality. The dining room and bar are equal parts industrial design and Art Deco aesthetics, while the menu combines classic steakhouse fare with lighter California-style cuisine. Somehow it all comes together beautifully. The rooftop, meanwhile, is home to an open-air poolside lounge and bar called ABH, for Above Beverly Hills, a nightspot whose guests-only policy means no scene and no velvet rope.
Of course the rooms are no afterthought — they're swanky and comfortable, if not quite scaling the heights of luxury, and the top-shelf details don't hurt either, including REN bath products, Sferra linens, and minibar snacks by Dean and DeLuca.
How to get there:
SIXTY Beverly Hills is approximately a 30-minute drive from Los Angeles International Airport, although the trip can take over an hour in traffic. Valet parking is available for $38 per night.

White ribbon (although you could also use red or green, if you preferred)
Red pompoms
Hot glue
I won't lie, it seems a little ridiculous that I'm posting a "Frozen" craft in the dead of summer. On any given day, it feels like it's a million degrees outside, and the only frozen thing that I'm concerned about are the ice cubes in my lemonade. But despite the intense temperatures, my daughters' love for Anna, Elsa, Olaf, and all thing Frozen is at an all time high.
I actually started this wreath in April, just before Greenleigh's birthday party. I just made Hazeline's Sofia the First wreath and felt confident that I could make another one fairly quickly. But then life got in the way – the crunch of throwing 2 birthday parties in 3 weeks, illness, family visiting – it all became too much and this project got put to the side.
I started working on it again in June and got it almost completely finished except for a few of the finishing touches. But then summer fun got in the way – who wants to stay inside when there's pool time to catch up on? So it sat on my dining room table just a little longer…until Greenleigh saw it there over the weekend and asked, "Mommy, when are you going to finish my Frozen wreath?". Ugh. Called out by my 5 year old.
So I fired up the glue gun and decided it was time. This wreath, which is intended as a decoration for her bedroom door, had to be finished. Realistically, it could have been done in a few hours (with the wrapping the wreath form in yarn being the most time consuming part), but had been delayed months. And sure enough, in a matter of 45 minutes, the finishing touches were done. My Frozen wreath was finally done! I'm not wild about how it photographed, but I love, love, love how it turned out. So I couldn't help but share it here.
Since this isn't that different from Hazeline's Sofia the First Wreath, I'm not going to repost the instructions here, but make sure to check out that post for how to make your own. It's a cheap and easy way to decorate and can be made in any character that you like! Plus, they make really cute decorations for kids' bedrooms!
My kids want nothing more in this world than "Frozen Stuff", or merchandise associated with the Disney blockbuster Frozen. They'll take anything that even remotely resembles Anna, Elsa, or Olaf…problem is, you can't find "Frozen Stuff" anywhere. In fact, if you follow me on Facebook (which you totally should, 'cause all the cool kids are doing it) you're aware that parents everywhere are getting similar requests and are losing their minds over the inability to fulfill them. Literally, some of them may need to be committed.
So when it came to the girl's Easter baskets, I knew I had to incorporate something Frozen and I knew that buying it was out of the question. I've seen a few Etsy shops selling beaded Frozen necklaces, but at a price of nearly $30 a piece, I decided to just make them myself.
Now, I'm not about to open an Etsy shop anytime soon, but I think they turned out nicely and I still have supplies left over to make several more. These necklaces aren't terribly hard to make, but I wanted to post the tutorial here just in case you're one of those moms trying to fulfill Frozen dreams and you think you can't make your own jewelry or don't have the time. They're actually very easy and only take about 20-30 minutes a piece. Oh, and it helps that my kids just love them!
For this project you will need:
Super strong beading cord (lots of people use the elastic kind, but I didn't – it's your choice)
20 mm chunky gumball beads in any color you wish*
4 mm clear glass spacer beads
1 inch round clear, raised epoxy stickers
Silver frame that can fit the epoxy stickers (Mine is from Found Objects, purchased at Michael's)
Lobster clasps & loops
Picture of Anna, Elsa, Olaf or any other character your child will want to wear
Tacky glue
Step 1 - Using a copier, shrink the character photo down to 1 inch, or as close to that as you can get. Then place the clear epoxy sticker on top and press down hard so it adheres. Cut around the epoxy sticker character using the scissors, trimming all the excess. Don't do this with an x-acto knife or you might end up damaging the epoxy sticker.
My photos were a little bigger than 1 inch, but I wanted the character pictures to be large and clear so I didn't shrink them down any further. Just use 1 inch as a guide.
Step 2 - Place a small amount of Tacky glue in the silver frame and place the round epoxy character on top. Press down hard to force out any excess glue. Allow the characters to dry completely.Step 3 - Cut approximately 25-30 inches of beading cord. Your necklace will be shorter than this, but you want to have a little extra room to work with. Using a square knot (pictured below – please pardon the poor cell phone picture!), place your character in the middle of the cord you just cut. Remember, if it's not exactly in the middle that's okay because you left yourself a little extra room and can always trim the ends to make it the middle.
Step 4 - String one side of the necklace, placing a clear 4mm spacer bead up against the silver frame, then a gumball bead, then a spacer, then a gumball bead, and so on until you've strung 10-11 gumball beads (all with spacers in between), depending on the length you want – Hazeline's Anna necklace was 10 gumball beads on each side and Greenleigh's Elsa necklace was 11 gumball beads on each side. You want to start and end the string with a 4mm spacer bead. Once you've reached the end of one side, tie the clasp on using 2-3 knots. When you reach the other side, tie the loop to the end. When your tying the lobster clasp and loop to their respective ends, try to leave as little beading cord exposed as possible. In other words, you want the clasp/loop to be right up against the very last spacer bead (or as close as you can get it).
Step 5 - I don't know that it's absolutely necessary, but for a little extra security, I placed a dab of hot glue on the knots attaching the beading cord to the clasp and loop ring.
Then sit back and enjoy as you win Mom of the Year for getting your hands on some coveted "Frozen Stuff"!
*I purchased my beads from the Fizzy Pops Etsy shop. I ordered on a Saturday and they arrived on Wednesday morning. I highly recommend them!
A couple of weeks ago I was at the craft store when I saw a feather wreath that had Easter eggs on it. It was so different (and fluffy); it was love at first sight. I picked it up and intended to purchase it before I saw the price tag – $29.99. Even with the coupon I had, it was a little more than I wanted to spend. It promptly went back on the shelf and decided that I could probably make my own for a little less. Mine ended up being around $16 (after coupons) and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
You will need:
12″ Straw wreath frame
3 White feather boas
Hot glue gun
15 Plastic eggs
Step 1 – Wrap the 3 feather boas around the straw wreath frame, one at a time, securing the boas at the ends with hot glue. You want the boas to cover the wreath frame, but you need to be able to move the middle part of the boa that isn't glued down for placement of eggs. At first I thought this would be easier to do if I took the plastic covering off of the wreath, but doing so made a huge mess and I quickly decided to leave the plastic on. Leaving the plastic on the straw wreath frame made it so much easier to secure the boas and eggs.
I toyed with the idea of zig-zagging the feathers across only the front of the wreath, securing at the top and bottom with hot glue, but I'm so glad that I didn't. Yes, it would have made the best use of my feathers, but hot gluing them would have been a problem. Feathers and hot glue are a tricky combo. Plus, you need the feathers to be able to move freely so you can attach the eggs.I know, it looks a little rough, don't worry.
Step 2 – Using hot glue, attach the plastic eggs to the straw wreath frame. In order to do this, you will need to move the feathers out of the way and put the hot glue directly on the straw wreath frame. It's also good to have an idea of how you want your egg colors to be distributed before you glue them down. I had to pull two of my eggs off the wreath because I had a clump of similarly colored eggs all in one spot.My package only contained 12 eggs, but this wreath requires more than that. I wasn't about to make another shopping trip for a 99 cent package of plastic eggs though. So instead, I used a few eggs from the Easter Egg Hunt my kids went on last weekend. They aren't a perfect match, but I picked similar colors and placed them towards the back.
Still looking rough, don't worry.
Step 3 – I used white ribbon left over from my ribbon wreath project and attached it to the back so I could hang the wreath. Make sure to hot glue the ribbon at an angle so it will hang properly. I attached my ribbon in two different places (it crossed over one of my strands of feathers and is glued on either side of the strand) for extra hold.
Step 4 – Time for a hair cut! Using scissors create a center to the wreath and tidy up the edges. I also trimmed a little around the eggs so they were all visible. This was mid-hair cut:Oh, and I don't advise you do this in your house. I did and I regret it. It looks like a white bird died in my living room. I'm still trying to figure out why I thought it was a good idea to to this inside. Unfortunately, Hazeline's carseat was near the area where I did this and she went to school covered in feathers.
Happy Easter Everyone! And Happy Passover to my Jewish friends!
