So far the year is off to a great start \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Lots of exciting things are going on, fun events and good stuff.<br \/>\nThe Rock Ya Body Calendar is available for sale. My body painting work can be seen on Miss March, yayyyy!<br \/>\nIn issue 10 of Illusion Magazine, 2 photo&#8217;s of my work were published in the gallery pages of that publication. I had no idea until I was flipping through the magazine- needless to say I was extrememly excited when I saw my work. I almost couldnt breathe.<\/p>\n<p>I am very pleased with how things have evolved for me over the years. I feel extremely blessed to do work that makes me feel happy .When I started business as CrazyFaces Face Painting in 2003, I was taking a big chance. I wanted my independence and freedom. I had been independant contracting for a face painting company and was not happy. I decided to listen to myself and do what was best for ME. In doing so, I was faced with a lawsuit based on false allegations that I had to defend. My belief is the person making the allegations was trying to make an example out of me. I did what I had to do and after 2 years of legal proceedings, it was dropped. Bottom line, I wasnt doing anything wrong and I told the truth. Over the years I have remained true to myself and stayed focused on what makes me feel happy. I only take jobs that I am truly interested in. If something will not prove to be a positive experience in the end, I decline. I will not resort to  lowdown schemes or tactics to get more business.  The work I do is not a means to an end. I am grateful for each experience and the opportunity to participate in  fun events.   Each year, I learn more about life and myself. I am grateful for the successes and failures along the way. I am hopeful for a very positive and successful 2010. <\/p>\n<p>www.jennifermontgomery.net<br \/>\ncrazyfacesfp@aol.com<br \/>\n610.764.0853<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy 2010!
