A Peek Inside: a Halloween pre-natal belly paint 550 367 Atop Serenity Hill

A few weeks ago, my friend Sarah agreed to let me paint something creepy on her very pregnant belly!! I have been saving the inspiration photo for a while so I was super excited that she was ok with it not being a sweet baby theme.

I did paint Sarah’s belly one more time before she gave birth with a sweet butterfly theme. Stay tuned for those pictures next month!
