I wanted to start a page to share what I find interesting and my favorite things. I love to visit interesting places and pages. I have found a few in my time. I love the way people smile when they are happy and I hate when they cry.
this page is worth a look

I did not have a lot of money for my grandsons gift this year. His birthday seems to come so much faster every year. I am not an old man but, I am not as young as I used to be. I wanted to do something really special but when I looked at prices of clowns and magic shows or djs it was just too much. Even the face painters in Dallas were so over priced. I found something that I could afford on a link for face paint and thought great this will be fun but probably not the best face painter. She was only 40 an hour and all others were no less than 70 per hour. When I went to the page I saw the most beautiful art and not really what you think of when you say face paint. This was something. Something about the young girls eyes in the photos were very warm and loving. I thought at first it was a kid she painted for a birthday and I was ready to call then. Later in reading it was the artists in the face paint pictures.



Not needing to think any further I called and ask her if she could come out for a birthday party on short notice. I looked so long and 2 days before the party I found this girl. She was happy to come and I must admit that was the most special gift of the day. This girl stayed an extra hour with no extra charge. She painted my face and my wife. She even painted my son and daughter in law.



I have not ever had such an experience in life with such kindness and you should have seen the art. This was not some kids party painter. This girl belongs in art galleries. If I sound like a raving man you really should understand why.



I called so many places and told them I only had 60.00 to spare. Some even hung up on me fast. Yes really it was sad. I started thinking I was not worth much and could not do better than a walmart gift. My son tried to offer her a tip and she refused and told him that she had fun and was glad to have been invited. I think people like this need to be mentioned. I must admit we do not live in a real high end are and I think she knew it was a struggle for us all. She even told me that she does free face painting every Halloween. She said if I can not bring the grandchildren to her call and let her know so she can come to us. If all real artists are like this real artist then I have to start going to the gallery more.



This is my first blog or page here and I just felt it was something I had to share. We are all going out to a movie next weekend so I hope to have another fun event to speak of. The link to the face paint page is as my external link here in case you wanted to see her work. I must admit some of it is very strange but it is all so very expressive and detailed.


the page is at http://www.facepaint.ws I hope that worked



Ok I am not so good with computers as you see. I am trying to help you people find this page. Maybe I will try again if this does not work put that in yourself to see her page. I am sorry I am not such a computer guy.
