I Painted Something!

I left "paint something" open-ended for good reason—I wasn't quite sure where this item would take me, but I was confident that it would be interesting enough to blog about—as it turns out, I was right!

Last night, my dear friend Lisa and I attended Sips n Strokes. It's simple: bring your favorite beverage and paint a picture along with an instructor as they show you step-by-step how to paint a beautiful masterpiece—and you can take it home at the end of the evening!

The website offers a calendar view with thumbnails of the painting for each day, so you can choose your date based on the type of painting you'd like to make. Most of the options are abstract, as that's generally easier for beginners to paint—we chose a beautiful cherry blossom tree.

We had such a blast, and everyone there was really nice. This would be a great place to have a party, too—we sipped some wine, but noticed that many of the other groups brought picnic stuff and munchies. Check out the website if you're interested: www.sipsnstrokes.com
