May Long Weekend 2012

Back for more fun at the Kids Market on Granville Island, I spent the last day of the May long weekend painting adorable kiddies whose smiles were not deterred by the rain, or the looming return to school. Check it out!

Cambie Kaboodles Face Painting! April 27th, 2012

Kaboodles Toy Store, Cambie location 

This past weekend I spent some time with my Kaboodles friends, face painting at their Cambie and 18th location. 

Really, is there anything better than spending the day in a toy store? I chatted the day away with Elmo, Big Bird and some hilarious, albeit cheeky, puppets. I can't wait to head up to their Point Grey location, and do it all again!

Earth Day 2012

A bunch of the Katimavik volunteers came and got their faces painted!

Happy Earth Day!

We were so lucky to be invited to face paint at the Wildlife Rescue annual family event in Burnaby, at the Bird Sanctuary/Rowing club. Needless to say, we painted a lot of animals, butterflies and flowers! All in celebration of Mother Earth and her bounty. 

I was accompanied to the event by Mimi le Bee, dressed up as mother Earth herself. Or, as one child hilariously put it, "Look mom, it's God!"

So Mother Nature and myself, dressed as a mermaid, not only did some earthy face painting, but we also had time to take a walk around the sanctuary. The rich smell of soil, mosses, sweet barks and budding flowers was enough to make me want to move back to Vancouver Island. Boy oh boy do I love this Earth! Nature is the bomb!

As if that wasn't enough, lunch was one of the yummiest things I have eaten in a long long time. The food caravan, La Bohème was selling their delicious buckwheat crepes at the event, and I had two. I ordered the cheese and greens, packed with mozzarella, mixed greens including nice chunks of kale, tomatoes, tomato sauce and vinagrette. The food was sumptuous, and their caravan was enchanting. I love La Bohème!

I look forward to visiting them at Trout Lake on Saturday mornings, and at the farmers market in Kitsilano. 

Until next time, 

Love your Earth, and hug a tree!

Peace and Love,

Space Party!

This weekend Amira and I did our first Space Adventure Party, and it was a BLAST! 

We were space travelers from the planet Blarg, who travel all over the universe attending awesome kids birthday parties.

The party started with a space visor craft, with tons of sparkly goodies including a box of recycled metallic materials from Urban Source. The we did face painting, games. We ended the party with a Rocket Ship pinata and balloon space blasters made from neon balloons (yay neon!).

It was so much fun, I can't wait for the next one!

Spring Break 2012 Facepainting- March 12th and 13th

Monday and Tuesday at the Kids Market can be summed up easily: SO MANY UNICORNS!! Nothing could bring me more joy than painting these celestial beings. Remember readers, loving unicorns will keep you young!

This little girl had a heart tattoo on her head, so this became a unicorn in love.

Beautiful Butterfly by Me

Unicorn under the silver moon, this scene was really fun to create! The little girl requested that I use ALL the sparkles, and I was happy to oblige!
