It's an absolute, absolute newbie question. I've never even face painted before! I am an artist, though, and even though I'm not very good at painting traditionally I just want to try being something fun and out there for my last Halloween at school! I'm not trying to do anything big, just one night, and it's fun to learn new things! Who knows, I might get hooked :)
I'm Christina, by the way. I'm sorry for not introducing myself. I just didn't think to! I've been getting so excited over everything... I've never actually used google groups either so I've been getting a bit confused with the e-mail thing. Again, sorry, but thanks for all your help!
