Warning: Creative Surge Underway in a Tiny Town in Northern Mexico (specifically at my house)

The surge happens to smell of fingernail polish and, alternately, fingernail polish remover. Just today, the baby army crawled/rolled her way into some orange acrylic paint as well. In a new Gymboree outfit. But it came out, so I could stop cryelling. Happily, it also came out of her hair.

So that's the Off On A Tangent bit. Back to the creativity surging, surging its way onto my nails, and those of any female citizen of this town/ward/family/ and/or anyone who walks through my door and sits still long enough.

Incidentally, did you know that dogs can get their nails painted when they get groomed? My childhood favorite pet, the tiny black poodle named Ebony used to get hers painted red. Speaking of red, I need some red lipstick. Any recommendations for blondes with warm skin tones?

Soooooo..........

I'm churning out nail designs faster than I can get sick of looking at the last one I painted on my own toes. It was too late to invite you over, though I wanted to. Yes, you.

So I grabbed T's fingers tonight, and my thumb nail, which has sported 3 designs tonight and still doesn't match the rest.... and I painted!



























I wore the above toes (okay, polish) to church last Sunday along with a yellow, black and white skirt. My toes peeped through my black 2.5 inch heels, the first heels I've had in years. I felt HOT. And tall. (For those of you who don't know me, I'm 5'8" and have a problem with it. I have refused to wear heels most of my life, so, break out, baby!! It's not stopping me anymore! Who would have thought it took moving to Mexico to learn that?? Thanks, girls!)

T invited friends over yesterday to practice on their toes (and fingers). I have to say I'm impressed!! This is all her own work. (T is my soon-to-be 11-year old daughter, in case you're not familiar with our family.)







And these are T's cute toes done with some stickers I forgot I had :



Thanks for looking! I hope you're inspired to have something fun on your toes for summer!
