For a couple of years (or more),

Anne has been drawing swirls and ivy

on her legs and ankles.

This is from a year ago . . .

Yesterday evening, she made it permanent.

Lee and Emma provided moral support

and Emma provided photos and commentary
via text messages.

This is the design . . .

Finishing outline . . .

Ewww that hurt . . .

Half way done looks like a blob now but its shaping up . . .

Smiling and taking deep breaths alls well thus far.

About an hour to go . . .

Still finishing the color. Almost done tho . . .

Apparently doing the gold on the vine is the worse part thus far . . .

Annes finished tat

It is beautiful and she loves it only took 2 and a half hours . . .
