Cocktails and Canvas May 31st 4pm

If you have not received a food assignment please let me know ASAP! Everyone that has RSVP'd yes should have received theirs. Also- we are going to need a table or two. We still need 1 bag of rolls and a salad of any kind. If you can help with any of those items please let me know.

I will be going to buy my canvas in a few days. If you need one please let me know. I've had a few people ask me what size, I would say at least an 8x10- stretched canvas. I will be doing an 11x14. This shouldn't cost more than $5-6 before your coupon discount.

Getting close ladies! I'm so excited!

Please let me know if you have questions or concerns.

Thanks,

WE HAVE A WINNER!!! And food choices!

And the Winner Is.... Dun, Dun, Dun... #6!!

 

Start thinking about what you want your words to be- And no shame if you use the cute saying that is already on it! Also- measure the space where it will hang and go get your canvas! Wahoo! We are getting so close to doing this class!! (When buying your canvas remember to use a coupon. Hobby Lobby always has a 40% off online- You can pull it up on your phone while in line...)

 

As far as food goes- I want to make sure we have some things to keep us full as well as things that are easy to snack on. Here is what I'm thinking. If you have a different idea let me know.

Pick an item from the list below to bring. First come, First Serve kind of idea. I will post who got what once all items are checked off. Keep in mind that we may need more than one of each item. I will communicate with you while this is all happening. Facebook is fine, but it would be easier for me if you text.

 

The list:

 

Frozen Meatballs

Rolls (for the meatballs)
Spaghetti Sauce
Parmesan Cheese
Cheese Tray
Crackers
Salad of Any Kind (Pasta, Lettuce, Fruit...)

Chips & Dip
Dessert or Sweet of any kind

And everyone will need to bring whatever cocktail or drink you will be having for the night. I have a few juice mixers and may have some Pepsi on hand. And of course I will have water :) 

RSVP's are a HUGE deal for this Ladies Night! If you haven't RSVP'd and are coming- Please let me know ASAP.
If you RSVP'd that you are coming and aren't- Please let me know ASAP.
If you RSVP'd a maybe- Please let me know ASAP if you are coming or not.

 

Thanks Ladies! I expect I will be hearing from all of you shortly :)

Cocktails & Canvas- May 31st 4pm *RSVP is a MUST and needed no later than May 21st*

Please RSVP no later than May 21st. If you have RSVP'd yes and need to change your attendance, please do so right away. We are buying supplies in advance for you and need an exact number so we can stay within budget. We will be asking for your $10 before we begin painting the day of. Please make sure to have cash in hand. You are responsible to buy your own canvas- in whatever size you choose. However, if requested we will pick up a canvas for you for an additional cost (you will not be able to choose the size).

We are also asking that no kids be in attendance. Because of the nature of what we are doing, painting- in my new house- with alcohol, I'd rather not have kiddos running around. If you want more information about this Ladies Day please click here to see my previous post

Cocktails and Canvas

Alright now that the business end is done! We have over 200 posts on the Cocktails and Canvas Pinterest Board! Great job ladies! I have picked the top 5 that were repined so we can vote on which we would like to paint. Before voting please think of a few things including:

What are you doing with your finished product? Think about where you want to hang it, who you want to give it to etc.

Do you want to have a quote or any wording? Dates? A special message? And if so, will it fit  with the painting?

The cost of your canvas- One of the top 5 has four canvases for the complete product (#1).

How much time will you have to commit to painting the day of? Is there enough time for the size  of canvas that you have chosen? (Any of them will take most of the night to complete)

And a little disclaimer- The end product will not be the same as the picture shown. The concept will be the same, but we will have an artist, Amber, recreate the idea in her own way. Then she will teach us and we can add our own colors, quotes, words, etc.

Just for fun I have added 3 additional pins that seemed to be a common theme in our choices. They are also up for a vote. There are EIGHT total paintings to vote from. If we have a tie, I will add the tied paintings and we will vote again. These are listed in no particular order.

You can send your vote to me via text, email, comment on here or through Facebook. You have until May 14th to send your vote. (My mom-in-laws birthday :))

Ready!?

Let the voting begin!

#1 Love (Or any 4 letter word :))

#3 Hope on a Wire

#4 Peacock Feather

#5 Baby Bird on the Fence
