Tonight's Open House Event

I went to an Open House/Silent Auction fundraiser event tonight for Eating Disorder Awareness Week. It was sponsored by the woman who comissioned the Emoti-Nubbins. Here is the whole set..including the purple Silly Nubbin.

One of her friends fell in love with Ellowilla and bought her...

Another one of her friends, who is originally from India, was doing henna. So I had her do a design on my palm...

This is what it looked like when I crumbled the dried henna paste off when I got home (ideally, the paste needs to stay on for 2-3 hours so the paste has a chance to dye the skin)

I haven't had henna done in so long! I used to do it all the time on myself, but then when I was working at the school, I couldn't have it on my hand, which is my favorite place to have it, besides my feet... (below is the design I had on my feet on my wedding day)...

I think the lady was kind of impressed I knew so much about henna/mehndi. I was explaining about it to the other ladies' and answering their questions about what it is, how long it lasts, etc. I was the first person of the night to have it done, and we drew quite the crowd while she was putting the design on my hand. And so a lot of the other ladies ended up getting designs too!

I have a sudden desire to visit India someday...
