New Year's Eve Make-up

I opened a photo attachment titled 'New Year's make-up' from my TwinA anticipating seeing her lovely face in glittery gorgeousity and instead found this. When I called and informed her that a bloody zombie foot was about the last thing I would have expected she remarked that my expectations were...wierd. *sigh*
Guess she's right. I know how she loves to amuse herself by applying her mad make-up skillz to depict realistic gore.
TwinB said it was something to behold in person.

A severe cold front has swept over Calgary resulting in temperatures of 'minus stupid' in TwinA's opinion so I hope they'll stay warm in their travels and have a safe evening.
I fervently hope that all the young people of Canada manage to stay alive tonight and avoid death by exposure - happened to too many last year.

Happy Birthday TwinA & TwinB!

Twenty-four years ago I relaxed in my hospital bed in Vancouver and gazed at a perfect crescent moon in the evening sky - euphoric that my work was done for the day and I'd successfully delivered my two gals. The husband and I always expected to stop at two so one of these is a bonus child...or an accident.
(we're always looking for happy accidents in painting and this topped them all!)
Oddly, it triggered within me an intense craving for babies and I kept hoping for another happy accident till they were well into their teens.
The teen years have a way of making that go away... ; )
