In case you didn't know...

 I have been working my little tail feathers off lately and rarely have time to blog anymore.(the only reason I am now is because I'm sick but, that gives me a chance to catch up on my much neglected blog) As my beautiful cousin Angelina puts it "My, you sure do switch gears quickly" and well, yes, yes I do. I went from designing jewelry and hair accessories to face and body painting almost full time within just a few months. My real full time job is staying at home and raising my 3 munchkins but, when the weekends roll around I'm super, grand face painter extrodinaire LOL! Well, maybe not grand...tee hee.

 I'm still making hair accessories but, on a much smaller scale I have two shops on Etsy where you can find my creations. jcgrace which is bows and itty bitty clippies for girls with little or no hair

and Bella Rosa Couture which is all handmade flowers for your hair for women and children.

I tried giving it up but, I really do enjoy creating even if I do have to stay up til all hours of the night to get orders made and ready to ship.

  Although making hair accessories is fun, It's not as fun and exciting as face painting. I was a makeup artist for many years but, never really had the time to play and explore. Now, that my kids are older I have finally found what I was meant to do. I LOVE painting..It's like taking makeup to a whole other level. It's really all I think about. I live, eat and sleep painting and I'm so excited to be working with a few photographers to create some new awesome body painting and belly painting pieces. I will share those on my work blog www.shawnadmakeup.blogspot.com as soon as I get them.

 So if, I neglect this blog some more  just know that I'm just super busy with my new exciting fantasy makeup way of life....feel like being painted? email me here. Join me on facebook and follow me on twitter.
