FACE//PAINTING

I've been home from Africa for over three weeks, but my mind still spends most of the day there. I had many adventures during my last few weeks in SA, so I'll just keep talking about them until I have something else to talk about! On my final day at Children of Hope we had a party and painted faces! I'm no amateur face painter (which is probably not something to be proud of), so I loved decorating these sweet little faces with whatever I wanted, rather than trying to clumsily fulfill shouted requests for "Spiderman, but in Auburn colors... and with a dragon tail and a Harry Potter scar" at a six-year old's birthday party in the States. I'm missing these baby angels today!

  1. Sweetest Dearest Alex - Francois and I are catching up on your wonderful adventure and lovely writings - so fun. You're super awesome, incredibly talented in many things, and just plain wonderful! Love all the posts, and Cape Town in particular.... oh, and I think you'll have to schedule a visit to LA right in time for A's birthday party, seeing you're such a brilliant face painter too!! :)
