Vote! Vote! Vote!

Ok ladies- April is not planned as of now. I really need a pedicure! I also have a gift card burning a hole in my pocket! So let's vote- Pedicures or Color Me Mine? I can do pedicures on April 4th (That's my only weekend that I have a sitter) or Color Me Mine on any time  except the 18th-20th (kids welcome!)

Also, I have a ladies day planned for May- just waiting on the hostess to give me a date and details. It will have to do with planter boxes- learning to plant a pot.

So send me a text, email, Facebook message or leave a comment here. Pedicures April 4th or Color Me Mine (send me your available date) or both?
Ready. Set. Go!

Pedicures will be at Cameo College in Murray. We need to get them scheduled all at once so I will need RSVP's as soon as possible. http://cameocollege.com/nail_services.html
Color Me Mine will be in Draper. They are also open on Sunday's so that's an option. I can do weekdays/nights too for this one. Just let me know. http://draper.colormemine.com

Cocktails and Canvas Original Painting!

I just got the painting sample from Amber! Get your wheels turning on how to make this fit in your home, choosing colors etc. I'm ready to do this and get creative! I love the crown! I may make it crooked or put the owl on a branch? Hmm... How do you want to personalize yours?

Thanks for doing all the work Amber! Now I need for sure RSVP's so Amber can get the whole class ready. Please let me know no later than March 7th.

If you don't have my contact info please leave a comment below and I will get in touch with you with all the location details.

Thanks!

So like a true artist, her work is never done. Amber sent me the bottom picture to share and before I could really even post, she sent me a follow up with changes to the original. I thought I'd share both so you can see the variation just in her version. Can you see the differences? The top picture she added jewels to the crown and some black paint on the edges. And I just noticed she added white polka dots to the wings and tummy.  Crazy how much those details changed the entire art piece! I'm excited to see how everyone interprets this painting in their own way. (BTW the owl is paper, not paint...)

Cocktails and Canvas-Lots of Awesome Benefits This Year!

Cocktails and Canvas

MARCH 14th 4pm-8pm

Please RSVP for the address 

$20- ALL SUPPLIES PROVIDED FOR PROJECT
But you will need to bring the following:

Bring your own drinks/alcohol and a dish to pass. If you would like an assigned dish please let me know when you RSVP. To keep your favorite outfit from getting painted, we suggest wearing an apron or leaving your favorite outfit at home and coming in painting clothes.

This will be more of a class setting than last year and we will all be completing a similar project*. This will be MIXED MEDIA- which is my kind of art!  Amber's motto is "Fun" art, not "Fine" art. She has a very relaxed way of teaching and will make your style stand out. This will be something you will be proud of yourself for completing and will want to hang it in your home. (Or maybe give to mom for Mother's Day!)

I'm honored to announce: Amber is offering a grandfather price for her students that come to THIS class if you are willing to share a link to her web page on any of your social media pages (tagging her in your post). This means that the discounted price we are already getting ($20 for all supplies) will be honored during the next classes you take. Her regular prices are $40 per class. That means you will be getting 1/2 off just for sharing a link to her website! Just to clarify, we are getting THIS class for $20 each then if you share her website you will be grandfathered in at 1/2 price for additional classes.

She is also going to ask if anyone is interested in doing a class every season for decor for your home. She will explain during the class. Please come ready to vote! We will need a place to go for these classes, so if you have a home to do it in we will need that information as well.

Bullet Points

To Bring

• $20 cash to pay Amber
• A dish to pass
• Your own drinks
• Wear an apron or old clothes
• Share Amber's web page for discounted prices in the future
• RSVP for address

Project

• 8x10 piece of art
• Not sure what yet, but will have that very soon
• All supplies included for $20
• Mixed media project for sure
• FUN ART
• Amber is a teacher, we are all here to learn from her

*I will post a picture of her example once I have it. She gave me a few options from other classes, but I requested an original art piece from her so she's creating one just for us! Wahoo! This is an awesome opportunity to be involved in Amber's classes! 

Talk to you soon,

My Favorite Thing- February 21st

I've had a lot of interest in this party! Hooray! I'm happy that we get to have it! 

My Favorite Thing!

February 21st 6pm-9pm

My House

RSVP's were REQUIRED and very important for participation
RSVP needed to be in by 2.13. If you are interested and didn't RSVP please let me know. If someone drops out I will add you in. 1st come 1st serve. 

Also, if you RSVP'd yes and can't make it please let me know as soon as you know. Thanks! 

BUDGET

There are 5 of us total. This means we need to buy 4 of the same item (5 if you need one for yourself!) The budget: $3 or less for each item This should put us at $12 total ($15 if you get one for you.) Plus whatever you spend on a treat to share (Please keep this under $5) 

WHAT TO BRING

- Your favorite thing (x4)

-A treat to share (appetizer or dessert)

-Your own drink(s)

PLEASE READ

Avoiding kids coming because I have a newborn. Let me know if you don't have a babysitter ahead of time. I'd like to keep all school-aged kids out of my house so my new one doesn't get sick. 

The whole idea of this night is to share something you love (within the budget) and get to know one another in a creative way. I'm pretty excited to see what everyone thinks of!

See you soon,

February/March

February 

"My Favorite Things"

I need to know who is interested in this before I do a ton of planning.

How it works: (I hope this makes sense)
Basically we would set a dollar amount (this will be set once we know how many people are coming) and you would buy your favorite thing for that $ amount for each person.

Let's pretend 5 people RSVP'd and we set an amount of $3. You would buy 4 of your favorite thing that costs $3- $12 total (5- $15 if you buy one for yourself) This could be nail polish, a hair brush, a pen, a storage container...whatever you think of as your favorite thing.  Then we each bring what we bought to the ladies day and we all exchange and talk about why we love it. You end up going home with some pretty cool, new stuff!
Who's in? It will have to be at the end of the month for me to have time to plan it... Let me know by the end of this weekend (February 8th).

March 

Cocktails and Canvas

Amber has agreed to teach us again!! This is so much fun and I'm pretty excited to plan it again!

We are going to do it a little differently this year and I will post more details once Amber is ready to show me what we are doing. However, I know she is going to teach a class and the set up will be similar to what we did last year. Please let me know if you are interested in coming. I'm not sure if my house will fit all of us this year so we may have to find another space.
Here is the information from last year if you need a refresher or are new to this.  

Let me know about February "My Favorite Things" and March "Cocktails and Canvas" when you communicate with me. As soon as I get feedback I will make another post.

Talk to you soon,

Card making/family pictures

I have everything ready for Sunday but I don't have any rsvp's for this event. Please let me know if you want to come. Any time is fine, I just need to know. Like I said before, I'm doing my cards anyway so it's no big deal to have supplies out.
