Let's Paint Ornaments!

So earlier this month my mom and I hosted an Ornament Painting party and we had such a good time.  Wine, good friends, appetizers and a painting class - what's not to love about that!  The artist is a friend of the family (she used to live two houses down from my parents) and she is so extremely talented, patient and an awesome teacher!  As soon as the class started about 6 of the 8 of us woman immediately freaked out and said "I can't do this" but after a little encouragement and some promising that the ornaments were going to turn out awesome we proceeded to draw and paint.  The class was so much fun and our final ornaments turned out wonderful.  We have decided to make this an annual tradition, already looking forward to next year!




Ornament painting classes aren't only for adults, that's right I also hosted a Kids Ornament Painting Party earlier this month!  The kids had a blast painting their ornaments.  The first ornament was a guided ornament where they put their hand print onto an ornament and then turned their fingers into Snowmen!  It turned out so cute.  The second ornament the kids were allowed to do whatever they want and some of them got quite into it.  Colton did great with his painting and much to my surprise, so did Mason.  Their ornaments turned out beautifully and look great hanging on our tree.
