Two more months and our summer festival season is kaput. The Henna Grrrls have been busy but cheerful, and congrats go to Amanda (aka "Henna Grrrl #3) on gettin' hitched!



August is looking particularly crowded: Let's see . . . . we've got a Celtic music fest Sat. 4th in Rexburg, then the Bluegrass Music Festival at Grand Targhee Resort the 10th-12th . . . then its a couple of days at the Madison County fair starting the 16th. Taking a break to catch a Gordon Lightfoot concert in UT on the 22th, race back home to send the kids to school the 23th then set up shop for good ol' Summerfest here in St. Agony that afternoon. We'll spend the next day getting packed/travelling for the Sun Valley Renaissance Faire that happens on the 25th-26th, get home the 27th, then leave the 30th to go to war! Harvest War (SCA), that is, in Mantua, UT and it runs the 31st thru Sept. 3rd.



Jeez Louise . . . I think I need a nap . . .



Henna, henna, henna!

Spring has sprung and its time for VEGAS, BABY!!!!!!


Gearing up for the International Henna Body Arts Conference in fabulous Sin City. The Powers That Be decided I should teach a couple classes this year (dragons and shading techiques), so I'll give it a shot. The worst that can happen is that I'll fail miserably in front of dozens of people . . . no big deal, right?

Well, this just makes it too easy. As you can see, it is lining up to be a monster of a season, and this isn't even all of it. There are a few more SCA events throughout the year that I'm not sure about, and Peach Days in Brigham City is definitely in the works (1 henna booth + 75,000 people = a very tired and happy Henna Grrrl). Very happy to be branching out more into Wyoming. Montana, you're next!



me:)

UPDATE!
We ARE doing Earth Day at I.S.U.!

Can it be? A solid month with nothing planned? Heaven forbid! What ever shall I do? Finish my half-painted cupboards I started 3 years ago? Nah . . . . I'd hate to ruin such an impressive procrastination streak.

Update:

April (around Earth Day)
Earth Week celebration at Idaho State University
I'm totally jumping the gun on this one. They had us come down and henna last year with great success, and I'd love to do it again if they'll have us. ::hint hint::

There are also some SCA events in ID and UT that we may merchant between mid-March and throughout April . . . more info when I have it.

May 26-28
Sun Valley Wellness Festival

This event comes mere days after we get back from the week-long Vegas Henna Conference, so wish me coherency and a steady hand.

The count-down to Estrella begins! The Henna Grrrls are sewing like mad, plotting, planning, packing, and hennaing skin drums til our heads cave in. All fingers, eyes, and toes are crossed for good weather. If you will be there, PLEASE stop in and say hello!
