NAHA 20 - North Americam Hairstyling Awards


I'm going to introduce myself to Robert...


Robert Lobetta and Becci at NAHA 20

I have wanted to be part of the North American Hairstyling Awards competition for quite a few years now. I have a NAHA file folder that I've been collecting ideas and articles in that have dates as far back as 1998. For one reason or another I talked myself out of ever participating. I had reasons that were understandable and some that were not at all. I have to admit the worst excuse was that I decided I just wasn't a good enough hairstylist. Blah.

So about two weeks ago I made a final decision to buy a ticket and get myself to Las Vegas to see the award presentations live and to decide once and for all if I really want to or could compete!

I actually am very creative in darn near every thing I create so I believe I would do very well with this challenge! I understand now after my weekend in Vegas that the true and most important reason for giving this a try is actually the process of it all. It's not just the award, it's about the brain storming for ideas, finding models, photographers etc. and then it's the creating the hair styles and seeing them all come together beautifully in the end!


~ The process is the reward ~






Have a great hair day! Bec

PS. I think I'll get a sexy little evening dress next year!

Salon Product Diversion. You decide.




This is a problem and you are taking an unnecessary risk.

MSN.com has a good article about it. Click here to read.

Sock Creature in "Soft Dolls & Animals" Magazine!

September 2009 issue!
My Sock creature even got a little piece of the cover!
Funny thing about this is I made my first sock creature for my Grandson Bryce but ended up sending it to Stampington and Company (who also published my creatures) on a whim instead.
I never did give it to Bryce! Oh bad Gramma!
I.O.U. sweetie pie!





I have a couple more classes planned for this fall 2009.
In October we will make PINK sock creatures for breast cancer awareness!

"Layer Love" Lesson #5

This is Lesson # 5 finished. A little city began to appear at the bottom so
I scratched in some impression-ish windows.
You can click on the inage to see the detail.


I am a high contrast lady.
I love sharp, bright very concentrated colors.
I love the colors of the Sunday funnies or

the "educational page" as my Dad would say...

So this is the color inspiration I chose for this exercise today. It turned out absolutely in no way, size, shape or form the way I intended it to but I LOVE it!
A LOT!

Now what on Earth do I do with it?
Maybe... the up coming mother of all online art journaling classes
"Art Journaling Super Nova"
which starts on 9-1-09 with registration on 8-08-09 at:

Different cookie sheet this time :-)
Happy 4th of July!
