This past Saturday I had the opportunity to be part of a superific fun day! I was one of the many volunteers that set up a "block party" at a local apartment complex where many underpriveleged families live, lots of them Sudanese refugees. There were balloons, hotdogs, crafts, face painting (that's me in the pic), a big bouncy castle thingie, free clothes, music, basketball & LOTS of kids!! I've helped out at this event the past few years with my church & it's been a blast!
I have always done the face painting & I always get strange requests for artwork. This year was pretty mild. A few little boys asked me to paint stick figures on them, stick figures with BIG muscles! One year I had a request for a castle. I thought: "Yeah, if your head was, like, HUGE!" Not really, I painted the castle!
My ultimate joy would be to, one day, have something organized in a really fun, orderly way--maybe at a community center or something--where I could teach kids craftiness for free! Someday...
But my point in all this is to say that if you have a gift, to not keep it to yourself.
Hey! looks like fun. I actually heard someone else this weekend say something to that affect. Share your gift!
ReplyDeleteI bet those kids had a blast! I always seem to be the one who does face painting when ever my church does an activity too..My strangest request was for a skeleton.
Nice job!:)

Hi Veronica! Those rings are soooo fun, huh? The dark brown one with the pinkish center (pink moon) is 3.3 cm in diameter. That's pretty big to me! The chocolate/raspberry one is 2.8 cm....You know you want one....
