One of my goals was to get my henna tattoos on my hands. No, it's not just because "henna hands" it's alliterative, it's because I've always thought it makes you look like a goddess. Guess what? I was right. Janice was in town this weekend, and we drove to the ocean...

One morning, I woke up with an insane urge to paint my legs. I was on the phone with Michelle, and I told her about my urge and she suggested rolling around on a "Mary Sized" piece of paper. I didn't have any paper that big, but I did have a bunch of white card stock....
