There was so much creativity, laughter, and self-e There was so much creativity, laughter, and self-expression at Saturday’s Express Yourself event 🌼  Community members spent the afternoon decorating clothing, experimenting with makeup and face painting, sharing ideas, and helping bring each other’s visions to life.

A huge thank you to Eva and Catherine for sharing their makeup and face painting skills and @works.in.progress.to  for their sewing and creative expertise.
