We invited Miss Lyn to our community spring event for face painting. She was amazing!! She painted 43 children in 2 hours, from dragons to butterflies. The kids were all thrilled and parents were amazed at what she could do. Miss Lynn was patient and kind with kids of all ages. We plan to bring her back every year! Kay S.
Yes, everything went very well thank you. Ms. Lynn was incredible. The kids loved her. The adults were just in as much awe of her skills as the children were. She handled the onslaught of children so well. Thank you, Chris and Lan
