Halloween at Asda!

Hello everyone! Halloween is upon us and we are getting into the spirit of things(pardon the pun!) I will be offering facepainting at Asda Living at Eastgate Retail Park from 12-4pm. If anyone fancies getting their makeup done for fancy dress parties or what not, please do come see me there!

Halloween is coming upon us!

Hello fans and friends!!! It has been a while since my last blog...life has been super busy! I've seen my youngest daughter start school (emotional trauma!) But I am back and on top form!

The Halloween Season is fast approaching, you can feel the autumnal chill in the air. Don't forget that to add a splash of fantasy and  mystery to your halloween party or event, you can book me to do some goulish (or not so goulish) designs. Contact me soon to book a space and chat about your design!

Face and Body Art

Midnight walk was Great!

Thank you to all my supporters and sponsers. I managed to complete the 10 miles(albeit with very stiff legs) and did do mile 3 to mile 4 shimmying and camelling just for my belly dance class. Thanks to all of you I raised £226 which is way over my target of £100! Look out for me next year!!

A collage I've created for me stall. What do you think?

Team Pixie feature on their blogspot

Lindsay Smith from Team Pixie at Pixie Dust has made a mini feature on her blogspot about me. Visit her blog at http://teampixie-teampixie.blogspot.com/2010/07/kgs-face-art.html?spref=fb to find out what she says about me!

She has been a wonderful wealth of knowledge for me from the time I first made contact with her about a year ago. Her and her husband are very knowledgeable about the products they sell, not only being able to inform you about the quality of the product but also the history behind the product. They are truly devoted to their work, business and hobbies and I take great pride in knowing that they are a local business that has created a well deserved name for themselves in this area. Thanks Lindsay!

The showfield will be packed with stalls, fairground rides, music and enteratinement throughout the day and into the night as well.

Fundraising for St Peter's Hospice

Hello everyone, this is the time of year when many of us decide to don the trainers and do some serious walking or running for charity. I have decided to join the ranks and raise funds for St. Peter's Hospice.

http://www.stpetershospice.org.uk/



St. Peter's Hospice runs a project which provides service and support to people with life limiting illness. If you have ever lost a loved one, you will know that the last stage of illness can often be the most uncomfortable not just for the patient but also for family and friends. Palliative care becomes essential in these moments. St. Peter's Hospice provides this type of care, and offers support to family and friends. But they run all of this on the money the public so generously gives them.

Please help me to help St. Peter's Hospice raise these valuable funds so that every person that needs this care can have it.

You can donate online at www.justgiving.com/Karen-Gonsalves-Stone .

Thanks!

And when things couldn't get more exciting, henna makes a play!

Add a bit of glitter and presto! Thanks Georgie for letting me design this for you!

The past long weekend was FANTASTIC!

I was involved in the Brampton and Hilltop Playgroups' May Fair down at the Brampton Way Playgroup Centre. Thanks to everyone who came out in support of the playgroups! It was a great turn out from the public, and really showed superb community spirit. Thanks to all that organised the Fair and also for letting me be part of it.

Mad Harry's officially open!

Mad Harry's Fancy Dress and Party Shop opened its doors today officially for the first time! There was a visit from two of the Bristol City Football Club early on, facepainting by yours truly and creme eggs for the litte ones! The shop boasts an impressive array of fancy dress for adults, children and even tots. And if you are in a bind when it comes to party ware, they stock that too! There is so much more in the shop that even I didnt get a chance to look at! So if you are ever in Portishead don't forget to drop by Mad Harry's at 98 High Street...you won't regret it!

Looking forward to the opening of Mad Harry's this weekend

Mad Harry's is opening its doors to the public for the first time on saturday. It proves to be a fantastic day with guest appearances from some local football heroes, free facepainting(me), and of course a great stock of childrens and adult fancy dress as well as partwear and accessories. Come and join us for the fun in the Portishead High Street (next to Mother Nature's).
