In which we paint faces

Last weekend my husband and I spent a few hours at the downtown Marriot, painting faces at a Geocoin convention. I received an email from the wonderful lady organizing the event back in September, asking if I knew anyone who might be willing to volunteer. As it happens, I've done face painting in the past, and have been interested in doing it again. I told her I'd be happy to help out, and recruited my husband (he's a writer and teacher, but has amazing artistic talent too).

As always, the kids were a bit shy about getting their faces painted near the beginning, but once they saw their peers wandering around with pandas and snakes and skulls and other miscellaneous creatures, we had quite a rush. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to take any pictures during the event since we were so busy, but here are a few to give you an idea.
