Face Painting

Ellen says: A few months ago, we attended to Nicole's birthday party. Naturally, there was a face painter there who seemed to be the biggest hit of the party judging from the long line of eager kids waiting. So there we were, in line waiting...and waiting...and waiting for my little boy turn, but when it finally arrived, and he got his face painted with the design he had chosen, I was no longer annoyed as he was just so thrilled with the result. We stayed and watched some of the other kids get their faces painted and they all were equally thrilled with their painted faces.
When we got home, my so was very upset at the thought of having to wash his beautiful designs off. My son insisted that he would only wash his face if I could paint it back on his the next day so she could show his teacher at school. I had to tell him the truth...I have no idea how to create face painting designs like that..I wish I did!!

I decided to check the internet to see if I could find someone to teach me how to face paint, and I stumbled on to something even better. A downloadable e-book which offered easy step by step information to teach me to make face painting designs that my kids, or any kids would love.

To make a long story short, I got the book, got some supplies the next morning, and by the time my son came home from school I had gotten good enough to offer to paint his face with a couple of designs I had practiced. Rallione was more than thrilled--he didn't want to wash them off (the ultimate compliment).

Since then, I practiced in my spare time and became good enough to be the face painter at my own son birthday party last June.
