Xmas Tree 2: little pots of paint

Among the ideas we came up with to add some magic to the Christmas Tree night, as well as raise a few dollars for our students to go away on camp, was face painting.

In my wisdom, I thought a few local girls who had once attended our fine little one-teacher school might like to help out.  So I asked their Mum, an old friend of mine, and she agreed.  I suspect I may have caused some minor panic in their household, as they worried about their lack of experience in the fine art of painting the face os squirming kids.

In retrospect, I suppose I cannot blame them.

They got the job done fantastically!

Lots of little possums sported Christmas Trees, stars and holly on their cheeks, sparkling away under the fairy lights.

Violet was keen…

Even Dash lined up for his turn under the artists’ brushes.

So a big THANKS to those beautiful young women, for taking on the chore and helping make our night truly magic!
