| Locks of Love! Today is a Big Day for me. I am going to cut off eleven inches of my hair today to donate to the Locks of Love Organization to make hairpieces for sick and underprivledged kids who need them. I thought that even though this isn't really pet related, it would be a great thing to post- Maybe inspire some of you to do the same. I logged on to locksoflove.org and looked at the kids that recieved their new hairpieces, and it is amazing!!! I highly encourage everyone to donate if they feel the desire to do so!!!

| Val (PassionFruition) did this last year, if my memory serves me. My Daughter did the same thing a couple years ago. My own hair grows so incredibly slowly that I would have to grow and grow and grow for years to get 10 inches to cut off!!!!! And, I know they prefer "virgin" hair that is not chemically altered. Since I get colored every 4-6 weeks - that leaves me out!!! Good for you. Would love to see before/after photos.

| Thanks!! Thanks for all the support! I kinda felt nervous parting with my long hair, but it reassures me that it can help someone else. Makes me kinda wish my hair grew faster, then I could Donate More Often- but like some of you- It grows slower than christmas and I have actually been growing it out for almost eight Years... gosh that seems like a long time.. Now I'm Rambling...
