I recall being impressed with parents' creativity to convince their kid(s) that the taffy and cupcake display of bath products at the Lily and Eve booth right next to the line, was not for eating. If ever they want to indulge their kids with a candy bath, however, then they should have picked up a pack or two. I'm not sure how long the line was, but I got an idea from comments about waiting for an hour to get their turn. But I wasn't worried, and continued to give each kid my focused attention. I can also still visualize those priceless expressions from those kids when they saw their finished face.
The entire day was such a blur, I liken it to running marathons. Complete with bodiless arms handing over snacks and drinks as well as holding your pee for longer than you should.
I cannot recall the last time I allowed myself the luxury of painting for that many hours. Releasing the tension due to the lack of an artistic outlet, multiplied by the eagerness in children. It's no wonder I was still energized at the after "party" dinner at Van Gogh's Ear, despite having only four hours of sleep the night before. I'm sure it was the reason I felt a smile creep on my face as I went to bed that evening. Possibly also the reason I was able to focus an entire day on writing papers and studying for exams the following day. But, definitely the reason I put myself out there to provide face painting as a service Wish me luck!
