Fall Festival was a smash!

Well, it's over! What a rush! I painted somewhere around 95-100 cheeks (or hands) in three hours. Good thing I had only a couple of designs. I was just doing a fish and butterfly with my custom rainbow.
I did paint my face with Angie's pumpkin mask design, so people could see some of my "real" work. I also had some business cards with me, so parents could take them. I don't even know how many parents took one, though there were quite a few.
But the line never let off until the very end. Thankfully, it did, and I got to paint everyone who wanted painted.
And the good news... I was able to tell my children's minister that I "do" this for hire. Somehow, they all think I just am a hobbyist, I think. His assistant was very interested in me doing a few events through the year. I think I may need to train my kids to paint with me. There's no WAY I could paint all the kids at our church!
