my presence at recuerda mi corazon has been far less frequent as the arrival of
Fall marks dedicated preparations for
and my annual pilgrimage to san miguel de allende.
with great
and unstoppable passion for mexico
i host several folk art tours
a year that honor the
traditions, celebrations and folk art of
San Miguel de Allende.
i thought i would share this collection of lovely
La Catrina
face painting tutorials i have collected for my Dia de Los Muertos group.
yes.
we will be getting on our inner Catrina,
and you can too!
What a great post, Rebecca. I'll take a deep look when I have more time.
