My kids gone blonde ...


what do you think ? ashe blonde ? 
I'm pretty sure my Swedish scrappy pal , Metal_Minish
will highly approve of this hairstyle ! ;)


Just kidding ! It's simply the backlight effect on 
DD's not completely jet black hair - 
she does always have a lot of brown in her hair since young .

Now DS has pretty much black hair . No doubt about it ! 
You betcha most peeps don't think they are sibs when they're seen together ! lol 
Too happy to have some new hairdo captures
 of the kidlets before they start school again next week ! 

Pics shot on AV mode using the nifty thrifty 50/1.8 mm lens 
on aperture wide open . ;) 

& here's a layout to celebrate a new 'do - 


layout design inspired by a sketch by Julie Bonner.

DD gets mistaken to be a Japanese alot ! 
(Some people think I'm Japanese looking too - not sure why at all ?!! )
although amongst younger people they think she's Korean 
( lots of young people here these days love Korean pop music, dramas 
& they also learn the language - used to be that way with all things Japanese )

Aww, your children are beautiful as is their new hair cuts and styles. All the kids are just finishing up school out here. I see groups of junior high kids walking home from exams with all their heavy book bags. Loving your LO with Julie's sketch. I am so missing my scrappy life these days. We just finished getting our daughter settled into her apartment tonight. Packing is moving along well, so I am hoping for some time one of these days to get on a scrappy tangent! I'm thankful to still get to enjoy everyone else's creations!! :) I'm trying to stay in the scrappy loop! LOL

I do approve indeed! XD
She's gorgeous, so jealous of that hairstyle! I need to work for ages with a flat iron and the right hairspray to get my desired "asian" look... Guess my scandinavian hair would rather stay wavy than straight, but I refuse! lol

The LO is beautiful as well, love all the patterns, colors and that cluster of sweet pearls!

Happy Midsummer! ^o^

What a lovely treat to open your blog and find such gorgeous photos of your children. And I love the way you scrapped your DD's photo. It's funny about the way people get our nationalities wrong. I have been asked if I am Chinese, Indian and Italian by different people over my life :) As far as I know, I am none of the three! Lol!
