Wedding Wednesday - Bachelorette Party

I cannot tell you guys how much fun I had at my bachelorette party. It was incredible! I am not a drinker (but you guys know that already) so it was hard to find something that I would enjoy as well as my party loving friends and family. We finally decided on Painting With a Twist, if you have one near you please go!

We did the Breakfast at Tiffany's painting and it was much easier than I was expecting. I learned that they also have couples night and I know that will be a perfect date night. 

There was some dancing, drinking eating and of course painting.

Did I mention that if you spoke negatively about your own painting, you get some face painting.


This is why all of our paintings turned out so good, they sketch it on the canvas for you. Basically it is paint by numbers. I Highly recommend this for any and everyone!!

  

24 Days to go!!!!

Countdown to Valentine's Day - Kids Cards

This is when the cards get cleaver- some of the blogger moms are so creative!

I have seen this all over the the blog-o-sphere and I cannot wait to have kids so I can do this!

This one can be found over at Shutterfly. I am a large fan of that site. 

I love this, I found it on pinterest but I could not find the original source (if you know please tell me)

But when all else fails & you run out of time you could always run down to the local store and pick up a box. 

We always did the box kind when I was a kid, what about you?
