I always have fun when I paint, but some parties really stand out. Not long ago, I was privileged to be at such an event. A very lucky little girl had a wonderful birthday thanks to her delightful parents. When dad came up to me and requested the same thing his daughter chose (a sparkly mermaid face), I knew I was hanging out with some pretty dang cool people.
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.
I have to admit, when I got a call a couple of weeks ago for a 2-year-old’s birthday party with 20-30 kids expected, I was a little wary. I mean, who throws that kind of party for a 2 year old? I was a slightly worried that this was going to be a lot of spoiled little kids in party clothes that were used to getting their way. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
What this party was really about was sharing one family’s joy with an entire community. There were dozens of people, tons of great homemade food, lively music, and just a lot of love in the room. I truly felt honored to be invited to celebrate with these kind, generous people. I can only hope I made them happy. Best of all, I got to bring my hubby along to do some balloon twisting. All in all, it was a truly enjoyable night.
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.
The birthday girl gets all blinged out
Last weekend I had the chance to get my girly-girl groove on by painting at a Barbie-themed birthday party. I had a great time getting to know some very fashionable young ladies. Once the birthday girl chose a rainbow design for her face paint, just about everyone else followed suit. Here are some photos of the fun.
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.
I recently face painted a bunch of kids from a family party. The kids were adorable and a lot of fun. Best of all, Mr. M, a former baker, paid me in cinnamon rolls! They were divine, and my kids literally had to fight me to get a taste. 🙂 It was a great night of fun family face painting.
A face painting family reunion is a great way to bring everyone together and add a little magic to the event! Contact me today to schedule an family party that will never be forgotten.
