Hair Donation

A couple months back, I donated a little over 11 1/2 inches of hair to make a free wig for someone with cancer.  This has been my third time in my life that I have donated my hair.  The first time, I donated to Locks of Love while the second and third time I did a different non-profit organization that doesn't charge families for the wig.  In the past ten years, my oldest has donated her hair twice.  Both times it was to the non-profit organization.   I am pleased to say that my youngest, who has very thin and fine hair, has donated for the first time to the same non-profit organization!!  I am so proud of her as she follows in her mama and sister's footsteps, by doing a simple act of cutting her hair. 

You want to see the before and then after photos?

Here are the before photos:

To celebrate her selfless act I scrapped these two pages of the process:

I am very proud of my daughter!  She keeps asking if she'll get to meet the person who she donated her hair to, she doesn't understand the process.  I wish there was a way to have her meet a child who has received a wig from donations as I know it would boost her spirits to see how her haircut made the difference.

So today I was surfing the net and guess what?  BOTH of these layouts were featured on ScrapMatters Gallery Standout Blog!! 

The first layout was picked on Wednesday, the day that I uploaded the layouts to the gallery.  You can see my layout, what was said about my layout as well as see the other layouts that were picked for that day's blog here.  The second layout was picked on Thursday.  You can read about it here.  I am just shocked.  Here I was scrapping a layout to show my parents the process of my daughter donating her hair and in return my layouts were shown on the blog!  What a great way to raise awareness for hair donation!!

That's all I got for today.
