Face Painting for Lululemon's Grand Opening!

I was invited by the store mangager of Lululemon Athletica to come and face paint and do glitter tats at their Grand Opening of their new store at the Irvine Spectrum.

It was a great draw to have the kids get their faces painted while the parents where introduced to the store and learn about the products and yoga sessions that they offer. But the moms and grandmoms got into the glitters tats just as much as the kids did!

Kids say the funniest things sometimes!

I always give the birthday girl a gem or jewels on their design when I face paint at their birthday party.

I was face painting at this above darling little girls' birthday party, and one of her friends said:

Girl in line: "I want a gem too!"

Me: "Sweetie, only the birthday girl gets a gem since it is her special day."

Girl in line: "Well then, how do I get a gem?"

Me: "Have me come to your next birthday party, and I'll put a gem on your face painting."

She was quiet for a moment.

Girl in line: "How does my mommy rent you?"

I wanted to crack up and laugh so badly.

I gave her my business card and told her to give it to her mommy, so she can find out how to "rent" me for her party........

I get to Face Paint at the SWEETEST places!

That's one thing about this job (actually face painting doesn't feel like a "job" to me, since it is just too much fun!) is that I get to go to the neatest venues for parties.

For this birthday party it was hosted at KRISPY KREME!

Wowzzee! Can you say sugar rush?

It was so cute seeing the little ones getting to dip and sprinkle their own doughnut.

The birthday boy wanted to be BatMan and he really liked his mask:

Face Painting for Little League Closing Day

YaY! I got a EZ-Up shade tent! This is the first event where I got to use it.

We face painted at my sons' Little League Closing Day in our part of town. And I (well it was my hubby and kids) sold the funsticks of Colorful Candy Art - http://www.colorfulcandyart.com/
This year, the Little League event coordinators wanted to make Closing Day more like a carnival and they had a dunk tank, bouncy house, local food vendors etc. I have to give them kudos for executing a great event and the kids had a blast!

We had a lot of fun, but learned quickly that I need to get sand bag weights for the tent. We were in a gusty wind location and hubby spent most of his time holding the center of the tent down!

Angels Watching Over Me

Yesterday I was face painting for my good friend Mary's children's birthday party. This cute lil' gal climbs up into my chair and requests the angel design. As I start to paint the wings on her, she begins this conversation:

Cute Girl: "When people die, they become angels. Right?"

Me: "They sure do sweetie."

Cute Girl: "But why do they become angels?"

Me: "Because then they can watch over us and help us while we are still here."

Cute Girl: "But why do they need to watch over us?"

Me: "Because honey, we need all the help we can get."

Cute Girl: "But why do we need help?"

Me: "We just do. Angels are very smart, and they know what's best - that's why they look over us."

Cute Girl: Quiet.

I guess that answered that......
