That’s it!  Our tickets are booked!  My husband, Jeff (shown above, on the right), and I have been dying to attend the World Beard & Mustache Championships, and this time it’s really happening!  Jeff has been faithfully growing his beard so he can enter the contest, and I can’t wait to root him on.  We can’t wait to see the many interesting and creative ways to grow and style facial hair.  Jeff really wants to spend the time leading up to the competition diligently grooming and coiffing his final look.  I promise to post all our photos of our trip and the entire event!

… APRIL FOOLS! Just kidding!  We are totally not going to the World Beard & Mustache Championships, although I think if we had opportunity I know we both really would.  Jeff actually doesn’t even HAVE a beard right now, that photo was from 2 years ago.  But he sometimes teases that he’ll grow it back (please, no!).  Can you believe some of those looks?  I have to hand it to them, those men really put a lot of effort into their facial hair.

So instead, I’ll leave you with a few crafty mustache items from Etsy.

Now it’s your turn… what’s your April Fool’s Day joke?
