🔹🔹Overview🔹🔹
Hi there! Felicia here with Paint Time FUN (PTF) from Creative Wisdom Corp. This company has been a family run team in the arts of face painting, temporary tattoos, plus wine & canvas acrylic painting classes since 2013. Then we started hiring out experienced professionals in this entertainment field that could bring in other uniquely fun party entertainment services such as balloon twisting and air brush tattoos in 2021. Just before that in 2019, we started training courses for our Original PTF Artists to bring about independent professional entertainers exclusively under the Paint Time Fun brand. 💕👩🎨💕

🔹🔹How We Got Started🔹🔹
We got started with volunteer work on a whim for charity organizations and church functions such as the Winter Lights Festival at Sunset Hill Park in Valparaiso, IN in 2013, the Back to School Fair for RealLife Community Church, & teaching privately funded wine & canvas classes. Guests liked our work and personality so much that we started getting requests for paid annually festival gigs for our face painting services like at The American Legion in Portage, IN every summer since 2014. Then in 2018, we finally started doing hourly paid parties using our face painting services with companies such as White's Children and Family Services & so many more since then. Now we provide quality fun for many festivals and private functions such as birthdays, holidays, block parties, small family parties, & more every week!! We aren’t afraid to travel to you. 💕💪😉💕
