Floating Lanterns and Fabulous Faces

So last weekend I had the opportunity to paint at another HUGE birthday party. This time, the birthday girl was turning six, and she was surrounded by a lot of love. The party was Tangled themed, but the face painting was a free for all. Tigers were popular, with zebras and puppies close behind. There were also a lot of fun boy faces.

Once again, hubby came along to do balloons. He’s mastered swords, shields, puppies and flowers–he even invented a balloon “gun” which was popular with the boys. One of the coolest moments of the evening was when the guests released lanterns–just like in the movie.

Pretty Little Princesses

I like boys, I really do. But the REAL fun comes from face painting little girls. I love how they know exactly what they want and how spunky face paint makes them. Girls love to strut around and show off my work, and that makes me feel great.

Last weekend, I had the chance to paint some of the cutest girls ever! There was no particular theme to the party, but it soon became clear that they were little princesses, and they wanted to look the part. I had a lot of mermaid and Rapunzel requests, which is something a little new for me (got to work on those dang tiny princess faces!), but I’m glad the girls gave me a challenge.
