I can't believe it's been over a year since I've posted anything! My world has been very busy with family, a new job and a new creative direction! </i></span><i style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My new love is very different from paper crafting and has consumed my world! </i><br />
<i style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></i><i style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I've started a face painting business! Of all the arts, crafts and various mediums I've tried I would never have thought I'd be painting. It all started with volunteering during charity events. One day my friend, Kim, learned that the face painter who was hired for their union clambake had canceled. She quickly informed them that she had a friend who could do it! Talk about panic! LOL! A real "job" as a face painter! And as they say, the rest is history! </i><br />
<i style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></i><i style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My little business is called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kathiscreativefaces/" target="_blank"><b>Kathi's Creative Faces</b></a> and it's been growing and keeping me very busy. This is the link to my Facebook page </i><i style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/kathiscreativefaces/" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Kathi's Creative Faces</a> where I have more information about the business</i><i style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> and pictures of my work. I'd appreciate it if you could like my page too! Here are a few pics:</i><br />

You can find Kitty Bee images on Etsy <b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/KittyBeeDesign" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</b></span></span></i></span><br />
