Birthday Celebrations

Pet Night 

Wine & Design

My friend Danielle's birthday was this past Thursday and we decided to do Wine & Design to celebrate.  In case you are unfamiliar, Wine & Design is a cute franchise that specializes in paint instruction.  They have a set object or scene that you will be taught to paint and instructors are there to talk you through it.  You are invited to bring your own wine and snacks to enjoy while you paint.  Danielle and Holly arrived with not only wine, but hummus and wasabi peanuts.  Red wine and snacks, this should inspire greatness, right?

We are are "slightly" obsessed with our pups and it just so happened to be pet night on D's birthday! Pet night is supposed to be open only to "experienced" painters; we didn't get this memo.  We sent in  photographs of our adorable pets and they were transferred to the canvas to help guide our painting.  This is what we saw when we arrived....... 

First up..... The Birthday Girl and Gus Man

Holly and Ellie May 

The Gidge and Me : )

I was a little concerned about butchering such pretty black and white canvas photographs. We poured ourselves a glass of red wine, picked up a brush, and started painting.  Three hours later, this was the result.

I am still searching for the perfect spot in my house for this creation! 

Happy Birthday D!
