Mini Me Has A Birthday, Plus Random Panda.

This morning I got to help a little girl with her school presentation on Pandas.

I bet she got an A!

Then, this evening, I got to celebrate one of my favorite people, Mini Me! She requested a “Jungle Jaguar” party, so we invited everyone to bring their favorite stuffed animal, and I painted their faces to match their furry friends. It was so fun, if a little chaotic painting and running a party at the same time.

I have to include a shot of the cupcakes because I worked so hard on the little animals. 🙂

Wild Things and Mardi Gras

I’ve been remiss in updating. Lately I’ve been working a lot of jobs where there simply isn’t time to take photos. Fortunately, I had a great “wild thing” birthday that was more low key and a lot of fun. The birthday girl asked to be a purple gorilla, which was a first for me, but I think she turned out darling!

I also had a fun Mardi Gras party last week. I did a lot of practice on my masks. The only photo from the party itself is of a lovely young woman who requested a purple elephant. It was such a unique petition that I had to snap a quick photo.

Circus Birthday

I had a lovely afternoon painting circus animals for a double birthday party. There was a little heated football rivalry at the end. I’m guessing this particular house is a riot on game day!

And the Winner Is . . .

At Syracuse Heritage Days I had a drawing for a free face painting party. I’m happy to announce the winner, but first some photos.

With no further ado, the winner of the free 10 person face painting party is:

Shay Heywood!

Congratulations, Shay. I’ll be in touch soon.

 

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.

Spooka Palooza

I spent the weekend face painting at the Utah Kids Club Spooka Palooza at the South Towne Expo center. I worked with the very talented and gracious Denise Cold of Painted Party, based in Utah County.

We had a great time painting all the cute kids in their Halloween costumes. Thanks to everyone who came out to make it a fun event.
