Thank you so much for swapping - I love her! She's so cheery and confident-looking. And personally, I just became a bottled redhead. My last stop before I give up and let it all go as gray as it's been trying to for the last ten years. :-)Diane Gillelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02210339859168266767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-40920904412484335202012-03-22T15:54:47.632-05:002012-03-22T15:54:47.632-05:00As soon as I saw that photo of you with the pigtai...As soon as I saw that photo of you with the pigtails I thought of Pippi! They look great and I'm glad you are embracing your inner Pippi.

I was 8 years old and wore my dad's shoes and my mom put coat hangers in my braids to make them stick out. So excited you are embracing pigtails and red hair - you and Pippi have a lot in common :)<br /><br />And, BTW, I got back from the conference and was thinking, "I have to check out Lis's blog!" and then you commented on mine :) I love it when that synchronicity thing happens!<br /><br />xoxoxoxox<br />KristenKristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13871298566239171976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-49560785241100307012012-03-19T20:21:15.272-05:002012-03-19T20:21:15.272-05:00ha! we always want what we don't have - i wou...ha! we always want what we don't have - i would have traded anything for my mousy brown, straight, fine hair which = boring. pippi is the coolest kid ever. :-)lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433914150035377956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-69956847169092733302012-03-19T17:40:38.332-05:002012-03-19T17:40:38.332-05:00I'm a natural readhead too! :) For much of my ...I'm a natural readhead too! :) For much of my childhood I downright resented it which might have something to do with the names I was called because of my haircolour. I still dislike the number of jokes that people think are funny ( if anybody mentions the whole "gingers have no soul" thing to me one more time I am going to punch them on the nose, I swear) but I actually love it by now. The one thing that never insulted me was being called a witch. Witches, after all, are powerful and independent and cool. What more could a girl want?Ricardahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233558403202177976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-10555637830107516072012-03-18T20:58:55.372-05:002012-03-18T20:58:55.372-05:00The drawings are awesome!!

Most of my life I have envied the powers of my auburn haired friends. They always seemed so much more able to express their passions, and for some reason they all have had connections to the mountains!!! :) <br />xoxoxoxoxoxoAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12613648636980036657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-968540811058893872012-03-18T08:54:02.450-05:002012-03-18T08:54:02.450-05:00I was such a huge Pippi fan and totally know it in...I was such a huge Pippi fan and totally know it informed a lot of how I saw the world as a girl - thank goodness there was a voice for bravery in such a scared household.
