"Gayle is an absolute dream to work with! She is so flexible & TALENTED! Our daughter wanted to have her friends at the house for her 6th birthday & I looked at quite a few different options before contacting Gayle. I inquired about doing a fairy garden craft in place of the magic show and Gayle was very accommodating. In 3 hours she walked 14 girls through making a fairy garden terrarium/air garden craft, made each kid a balloon animal of their choice, AND painted their faces! Which- the face painting alone was impressive! She did this all while dressed as a fairy, of course ☺️ I will absolut"
