Man ticks and Lyme are not nothing to mess around with …

When I went to the doctors I had the rash and it was swollen and tender but it didn’t really bother me to bad .

By the next morning however it chose violence lol

It had tripled in size or more , it was so sore it hurt to move or sit . My skin felt like it was burned and I didn’t feel too well at all .

Today spot is still there but much better , now it’s just soo itchy I want to rip my skin off but I can’t even scratch it because it’s still very raw .

Making balloons has not been the easiest the last three days but I made it . 😅 just one more to go .

Today went were with the lacrosse peeps ! In Sackville and everyone looked to be having a fantastic time 🤩🤩 here are some pics I’m sure there is more floating around but I haven’t got there yet ❤️

New Apple Pencil arrived … thought it was a dud however after some tears and trouble shooting I was able to get it up and working 🤩🤩 I’m sooooo over technology lol .

Second note….. I am now being treated for Lyme 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Also being completely invaded by Japanese
Beetles on the daily ….

These 2025 bingo cards 🤯

However here a ballon from a few weeks ago . Was a person from Metallica . Added flashing lights just before pick up for the stage effect look .

Just as I said I had the phones figured out my Apple Pencil that I have had for years died on me yesterday 🤦‍♀️

Now I have been stressing all day if I have Lyme disease because I was bit by a tick a few weeks ago 😬 . There was nothing there , but I discover last night there is a large red spot where I was bitten . It’s not a bulls eye but definitely a brite red spot .

Sooo Lyme disease or fluke fly bite in the same area 🤷‍♀️😂 only time will tell .

However while we wait there is a video of Heaven painting at the Sackville Community BBQ on the Laker page from the other night !
Always such an awesome event🥰

It took absolutely for ever but have finally sorted out “ most “ of my technical issues … just have emails to figure out now but phones are back to working !

It was a panicking weekend because I use my phone a lot for work , not only to message everyone but more importantly getting me to all my gigs and being able to look up pics and stuff is a major help , and at times I was helpless lol

I don’t even want I know what my phone bill will be this month with all that has happened but I live in fear 😅

It was a birthday filled weekend , family birthday , friends bday, work bdays !

I don’t know if I’m coming or going atm but I don’t think we had any large events this weekend just all bdays ,which was an odd shift because it feels like there has been a lot more events lately then party’s , especially for me .
But we did have large events most of last week so it was a nice refresh 🥰

If you feel I have missed any of your messages please reach out , I do know I did loose some messages completely during the transfers because I had seen them before it happened but tried to make a mental note of them an go back . Praying I got everyone. However I don’t know what would have happened to the messages that would have come when lines were down , would they just disappear or should they have popped up when things sorted ?

As for the pics one is recent and the other one is from earlier in the year but both are from SAA events!

We have been privileged to attend many of their events over the years for quite some time now 🤩 all of these kids are super stars !!

There’s one rule in this fight club …. You must be done competing before you can get painted 😂😂

Some times I jump way too far ahead of myself and get myself into a pickle ..🤦‍♀️

Try and keep up but short answer is my reg phone line will not be working for a couple of days …. Please don’t anyone panic 😂

My phone and email situation is a disaster atm .

Hubby upgraded his phone but I normally get the new phone and we play family pass down. Have not ever had a problem before .

However this time everything is messed up , we have two phone lines on my and his lines ( personal and business)

I was getting hubby’s alerts , my phone keeps glitching , and half of my emails are not functioning properly.

In the middle of all this I kept getting alerts that my data was going insane . Which never happens either because we have wifi and I don’t typically leave home 😂

Tried for two days to add data like they said I could , when nothing worked for me I went to the bell store for help .

Poor guy looked like he was going to cry as I explained my self …

He ups my plan to make sure I am covered in the data area and tells me he is unsure if they will reverse any charges . Sends me on my way .

We are still having issues so waving the white flag hubby just told me to get a new phone on my line and he will take back this one so atleast the second lines would work properly.

Went and did that today which almost had another bell employee in tears because nothing can ever just go smooth for me . I told her it’s completely my fault , things kind of stuff just happens to me , I have extra electricity built in or something that just makes things weird .. don’t believe me , ask my family 😅

Finally get ALLLL of that sorted …. However they didn’t have a new case for my phone so I had to order one which will be here in two days . Which is cool . However I didn’t realize I would’ve be able to use my reg phone line until I actully switch the phones , which I can’t do until I have a case , because I am not a crazy person that trust themselves with an un cased phone 😂😂😂

So ya …. I am here , just can’t reach me on my reg line . lol businesse line still works though I think .

As for the pics they were from camp day in eastern passage yesterday at the best tims ever for camp day ! By far the most I ever see for camp day 🥰 they rock !

I’m a whole 10 shade colour difference since yesterday 😅 man it was a hot one , baked the morning in the sun but got some relief at the second gig .

We were with our sackville family last night for the community event !! It’s always awesome with a ton of stuff going on 🤩🤩

Peeps were sweaty beyond belief but we managed what we could lol .

Kids absolutely love our photo station !! … bare in mind it’s just a mid century iPad attached to a pole 😂😂 but it really helps us get our “ mirror moments “ back a little .

At busy events we shave time off by not showing the kids personally in the mirror what they look like . We send them to a mirror “station “ so we can move right on to the next one .

We lose the best part of the job by doing that so I set up the iPad and tell everyone if they want to click a pic for us to share it’s there . And last night they came in strong 🤩🤩

I’m only allowed to add 10 photos here so I do a video so I can get every on in .

What a beautiful amazing day it was yesterday !!!

It was our first year at tide fest and it was awesome 🤩

To keep everyone moving fast they had 4 painters !!! That is thinking smart as the face paint lines is always one of the most in demand 😅

We got to see so many familiar faces and new ones too 🥰

For big events I like to bring my old tablet one set it up for people when I can.

Do you wanna guess how many times I said
“ there is a mirror right behind so you can hop down and take a look and tablet if you wanna click a pic for us to share ! “

It was a lot 😂

But the kids/adults absolutely love it and I just let them have fun with it . My fav part of coming home after a long gig is looking through my tablet .

I was unable to fit everyone in one video but here is some 🥰🥰

Thank you everyone for seeing us yesterday

That was an eventful week 😅

First couple weeks of summer has been all over the place . I actually can’t keep up with all the cancels , rebookings and feral summer children ….

I don’t know what’s going on this year but it’s not just me so that helps lol .

That being said I do have some room on Sunday this weekend. We are excited to see everyone at TIDE FEST on Sat though 🤩🤩 we will be there 10-2 , don’t leave it to last min to join the line because it does get cut off before the event is over so we don’t have people standing in line when we leave for 2 ;)

As for the balloon this was a double order ! One was turning 3 and the other 25 🥰

Hope everyone had an AMAZING Canada Day !!!

We had a crazy amount of people try and book us for the day and also a ton of people actually reached out personally to find out where we were going to be 🥹 .

Sadly for my locals where we are booked isn’t super close but we absolutely love the town of Bible hill that have us every year , and book immediately after we are done to secure next years ❤️❤️

They really do Canada Day big and it’s all in one spot !

So many bouncy castles !!! A magic show , pony rides , foam fiesta people , giant playground with a splash pad ( we have wanted to dive in many times 😂)
And of course they have me and my whole team there offering face paint AND balloons ! .

There is also a bbq and a food truck for Donation or paid .

Also there is a giant parade just before it all starts AND live music the whole event .

They are an hour away but they are amazing 🤩 !

I don’t even have to see the face to know this is Heaven painting , but it was the only pic I could find so far of our work at the event.

As for today ….

Today is the FIRST day in a very long time where I am not required to go work or to build something . I am tired and sore and my house is literally begging me for help before is suffocates from all the needed things to be done lol .

Give me the morning to collect my self and straighten the house up while the kids sleep in. Then I will jump over to messages and sort allllll of that out because it’s a little overwhelming atm .

Just before Canada Day I did switch over phones and it seems to have glitched some of my messages , I was able to catch one as it was happening but unsure if there was any others 😬 if you don’t hear from me by tonight please reach out again .

Man oh man … I don’t know how you 9-5 weekdayers do it ….. the traffic is bananas !!!!

The only time I leave the house is to basically work … which is mainly on the weekends …. Weekdays is a whole different breed of people 😂 I am not worthy ….

However Speed painting is definitely ONE of our strong suits .

We were hired for an hour gig at a public event . Two painters but knew there was going to be limited time going into it .

Pulling up and the place is a MAD HOUSE !!! People are everywhere .

Me and Heaven take a big gulp and unpack the van . From the moment we started pulling the wagon we had a trail of people behind us like a train … we get to the table and there is already a line … we are confident and have an excellent closing line procedure so we tackled it like no tomorrow.

We FLEW through that line , had a happy line ending and was out on time 🥰

Then I threw a kid out and did it all over again except I was by myself this time 😅

This paint was from the second gig but if anyone has any pics at all from today we would love to see them 🥰
