Face Painting for a First Birthday Party

I cannot describe just how adorable this little girl was! She is the celebrant's "big sister" and she looked so darling in her traditional Chinese attire for her little brother's First Birthday celebration. I absolutely love the colors in her dress and her hair bows. When I first met her -she is shy at first- I told her that I wanted bows JUST LIKE HERS for my hair! After I face painted her, throughout the party she would sneak over to my mirror to get another peek at her face. So darn cute!

I had the privilige to work again with Laura Caldwell a.k.a. Annie Banannie and she provided entertainment with her balloon show and twisting balloons for the kids after her show. She was my balloon twister vendor for the Mary Poppins party that I produced a while back. She is amazing and is great with children!!!

I also met a really nice couple -Lori & Keith-, professional photographers of Lori Anderson Photography and they were busy, busy, busy getting shots of the event and the kids. I can't wait to see their images that they took!

Overall, it was a beautiful party, and Eunice the mom, did a fab job of decorating their home and I have never seen more food for a party!

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:
