These guys are the real life Islanders!! Emily's face painting is on the left and Shanae's is on the right. Our "victims" told us the paintings were "tight" and their Moms thought it was the real live tattoos!! Well, come to think of it - they do look like they were "burned" into the skin, but no pain!!

This was such a fun event! I love the beauty, the grace, the glamour.....and I was able to add just a touch of glitz and color to finish it all off.......Watch it live! YouTube, Katana Hair Design Fashion Show By Eric Lam....Check out the face painting for this really fun event!

Isn't this fun?!!

I painted on her necklace and then added a bit of glitter glitz.....

I just loved the colors used on this model. So pretty!
Lavender was so striking on this model. I believe most of the girls were volunteers.
I think the style was "Bird of Paradise". Stunning color of blue for this model.

GRRRRRR..........
The radiance of a new mom to be..........just beautiful!

Hey....why don't you get your hair done by Katana?

Yeah for the Budah Mobile! Flanked by a BABE....Emily, of course!

Little did I know I would be on the news twice this month! First Ch. 13 and then Ch. 4. Wahoo!

Butterflies are always "in"......Once the birthday girl has one - everyone wants one! Isn't she pretty in pink?

Pokemon at best :D

You know, I've been asked, "At what age does face painting work at parties?" Well, here you have "proof in the pudding..." This gal is 91 years old. Who says you have to be a little kid to enjoy it?

Peace, sister! Peace.

Don't you love Grandpa? Even the flowing hair adds a touch of "regalis" (Latin for King......magnificent or dignified).

There is nothing more that I love than things or people that bring smiles, laughter and joy into my life. I bet that is true for you too!

One of the greatest joys in my life are children. I had five of them. Most of them are now grown, or are at the precipous of adulthood. Being nearly an "empty nester", other children "fill my bucket". It's not only joy in the creation of art through face painting, balloon art or air brush, but its the cutest things children will say to me. "You're not old, you're an adult!"

So if you would like to come along with me on this incredible adventure, exploring and appreciating child-like fantasy and emotion, become a follower of Face Painting Illusions & Balloon Art!

So, how do you do this? Here is a link to help you set it up.

"See" you soon!

Emily,

Thank You so much for coming to our party!!! You were incredible! Your artwork was fantastic and you worked so quickly...even providing some touch-ups. Absolutely amazing. Secretly, I think my husband wanted to keep his on forever!! :o) At the end, the kids were so excited to take a balloon sculpture home...I swear that each of them had at least 2 in their hands as they left. [My daughter] absolutely loves her special Little Mermaid. She wanted to send a special thank you note, if you have a mailing address we can send it to.

Thanks again!!!!

Most appreciatively,

I found your blog a few days ago and I love it! I'm a face painter in Cleveland Ohio, and have only been in the business for a few months. Your site is the first site I've found that was similar to how I've set mine up... although you're definitely using yours a little better than I have so far! I hope you don't mind that I've gotten some good ideas from you and some inspiration as well. Anyway... thanks, and great job with your work! I am officially a fan!

•  Emily was the best decision I made for our daughter's birthday party! We had a mix of family and friends and wanted to provide some fun for both. Everyone was so impressed with the element of fun she brought with her! It relieved a lot of my stress knowing that I could visit with friends and that the children were being entertained. Thank you so much! [Submitted by Mfolsom4/14/09 at 12:00 AM]

•  Emily and the gals at Face Painting Illusions joined KOSY 106.5 at the Zero Fatalities Safe Kids Fair in February. There were over 34,000 people in attendance and the KOSY 106.5/Face Painting Illsuions booth officially had the longest line in Safe Kids Fair history (12 years)! They were by far and away the busiest attraction and their work speaks volumes! I would reccommend them to anyone for any occasion. They're the best. You can see hundreds of photos of kid's who had their faces painted by Face Painting Illusions, on our website ay www.kosy.com.  KOSY 106.5 loves Face Painting Illusions! [Submitted by Rob 4/06/09 at 12:00 AM]

Emily,

I wanted to take a second to thank you for the wonderful service you provided to the families and children who came to the Chalk Art Festival. All of my other children were very impressed with the blue wolf you painted on my son’s face. Your work is amazing and your generous donation to the foundation as you left on Saturday is indicative of your huge heart!

You are amazing! Thanks so much from our entire family.

Make it a GREAT day!

Parents' Picks Awards FAQ

What is Parents Connect?
For 30 years, Nickelodeon has built a global business by putting kids first. Now, the folks who brought you Nick Jr., Noggin and The N, take the same dedicated, practical approach to parents. Nickelodeon's ParentsConnect is an informational, community-based Web site for parents to connect with local family events, great deals and activities, age-relevant content, and other parents.
ParentsConnect celebrates the reality of parenting, which deals with daily challenges large and small, from pregnancy to the teenage years. Our motto is "We're not perfect. We're parents." And we mean it!

What are the Parents' Picks Awards?
The Parents' Picks Awards is the only awards program that lets parents (like you!) vote on the best family-friendly resources in their community - everything from Best Dentists and Best Family Restaurants to Best Playgrounds and Parks - in 52 cities across the U.S.

Do you have to register to vote?
Nope. Just pick your city and vote away!
How are the nominees selected?
Most of the Parents' Picks nominees are chosen based on parent reviews and ratings. In three special categories, real parents (i.e., you!) get to nominate their favorites. What's an election without a write-in vote, right?

What criteria were used for picking nominees?
There are many reasons why a place might stand out to parents. Sometimes it's a commitment to quality, selection or service. Or maybe the business does an extra-special something to help parents out (stroller parking, changing tables, cups with lids ... without even asking!). The nominee choices are not related to, or influenced by, any advertising or partner relationships.

Who decides the winners?
Parents!

From May 5, 2009, to July 15, 2009, parents can vote for their favorite local places (up to once per day).

When will the winners be announced?
The 2009 Parents' Picks winners will be announced August 17, 2009.

The beautiful Zermott Resort in Midway was the backdrop for the 2009 Annual Convention of the Utah Optometric Association.
Truly they were "watching" and asking...."Which is better? One or two?"
