Painting With a Twist

Thursday night 4 of my coworkers and I decided to have a fun night out. We went to Painting With a Twist. I had never heard of it, but one of the girls found out about it so we decided to try it. It's basically a fun night out with some friends where you drink a little wine and learn how to paint! Yes, we painted a Funky Chicken! What a blast we had. They have a teacher who walks you through each step and in 2 hours you have a masterpiece(at least that's what I am calling mine).
This was just a fun night out I can't wait to do it again. I think I have Bob talked into making it a date night for us as well at some point. They have some paintings where there are 2 that go together, so you can do it as a couple. They have a ton to choose from. They also do private parties which would be great for a bridal shower or birthday party. It truly was one of the funnest things I have done in a while. I will be framing my Funky Chicken this weekend and finding a prominent place to hang him in our house, that's how proud I am!!

Here are a few shots of us having fun and also a group shot at the end with our masterpieces. Oh and our instructor, Sharon, was so much fun. We went to the location in Trinity FL and highly recommend it if you live in the area. She was awesome, thanks, Sharon!

Keurig House Party!!!

For those who have not heard of it yet, there is a very cool site called House Party. They post various parties that you can apply to host and they  give you the supplies. Well, I had signed up a few times, but was never selected. I signed up again maybe a litte more than a week ago and received notification last week that I was selected to host a Keurig Vue House Party!! I have the Keurig Special Edition brewer, which I love, but will be receiving the Keurig Vue Brewer for hosting the party. I couldn't be more excited! It's an awesome brewer from what I have seen and read and now I get to own one just for having some friends over for coffee!  Along with the brewer, they provide tons of coffee, some cookies, cups, napkins, etc. I'm planning on making some cookies, squares, maybe a cake. I also got a KitchenAid stand mixer for my birthday from my family, so my kitchen is becoming quite the place to be.

I've been doing a lot more baking, some of it successful, some not, but it's all about trying new stuff. Now I need to really branch out and get the pasta attachment and try my hand at homemade pasta. I haven't used the dough hook yet either, but that is on the list of things to do as well. That's all for now, until next time.
