Spanish-Flair Flower Bun

Hello everyone,

Today I used a new flower headband that I got from Claire's in Hawaii several months ago. I've been waiting for just the right time, and today seemed to be it!  I made a big flower bun with two rope braids.  My bun is held in place with a clip underneath and a lot of bobby pins.  After making my bun, I put my headband around it and hid the elastic part with tiny clips and a few bobby pins. I'm not sure why, but this hairstyle seemed to me to have a Spanish-flair. (These are some of the techniques that I demonstrate in my second Youtube video.)
     Thank you so much for following my hair blog and also for watching my videos!  I'm looking forward to making a new one soon.

On another note, today I received the sweetest surprise ever~ a friend who follows my blog made two beautiful pen-and-ink drawing from pictures I've posted.  She is so talented!  What a very special present, I just have to share it with you here:
