surprise sweet 16 henna

The birthday girl had NO IDEA I was coming. And I did not know that it was a surprise. So when I got out of the car to see several girls outside of the house, and said that I was the henna artist... she was so excited!!!
I was there for hours and had fun doing so much henna on so many girls, many of whom are into gymnastics, so they had fabulous bodies, and wanted beautiful things to flaunt :)

so much fun, and we will have to be doing it again sometime this fall!
They picked fun things, and really individual.
I did hear though that some of them went swimming in the quarry shortly afterwards though! (completely disregarding the fact that you should, a) leave the henna on for 4-6 hours, and b) that you should avoid water on it for at least that long if not much longer!)
I will just have to go back and henna them all again this fall!

if you have to lose your hair...

I had hennaed Lindsay's hands before she had lost her hair from chemo....
After she lost her beautiful locks, we hennaed her head for an event. We spent a few hours, and incorporated quite a few designs that she wanted. I tried to make them all work together. This was the first time I had done something like this. We had a fun afternoon together!

henna rock

I just spent a week on a small island in Maine. It was peaceful and we had beautiful weather.
We spent time painting rocks, which I love doing.

This one I painted and left for our friends who own the boathouse we stayed in.
