Snickerdoodle Kid's Art: Watermelon Slice

My latest painting project from Snickerdoodle Kid's Art...a yummy looking watermelon slice.  I love how big it is!  I went in with a couple printed items of how to paint the watermelon, but was completely undecided on which one to go with.  Based upon a few "suggestions" from the girls, I decided to go with this one.  I think it turned out super cute!

 

Pink Flamingos

Last Thursday evening, I went to my friend Heather's to paint flamingos.  I've seen them before on Etsy and loved them and had been wanting to paint them for a while.  I scheduled a class at Snickerdoodles to paint the watermelon slice for my front door for summer.  Then a few days before the class, Heather messaged me that Bowen was cutting out the flamingos and asked me if I wanted to paint one.  I told her no cause I was going to paint my watermelon slice.  Then later she messaged me that the flamingos were really cute.  I told her if she had a no-show, I'd buy their spot.  She informed me that they had a couple extra. HAHA! I'm glad I went.  She's the cutest little flamingo ever!!  

(She was our inspiration and the design we attempted followed)

Hoppy Summer

Friday night Heather had a girls night out at her house and we painted frogs!

 

Kristi and I have been trying to get Heather to go with us to Snickerdoodle's and paint every since we started going there.  And each time we asked she said she wasn't crafty. 

 

Well now Miss I'm Not Crafty has an entire basement area devoted to wood crafts with tables, chairs, paints, brushes, paint holders, ribbon and any craft supply you could possibly think off!  LOL!!

 

 

So here is my finished product....

 

 

This cute little froggy was my inspiration....

 

Super Busy Weekend

The weekend officially started Friday at 5.  I kicked off the weekend with a massage and it was so relaxing!  Then that was followed up with a trip to Walmart in the rain :(  While waiting for Shawn to get off work, I was tooling around Walmart  trying to find Zoe a present.  I sent her the picture below to ask her if she wanted the hat ...

 

 

When Shawn got off work, we had dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant Jalisco's.  Mr. Werewolf is always thrilled when I pull my phone out to take his picture!  LOL!

 

 

Saturday morning started off bright and early with a trip to Louisville, Kentucky.  We had to go to the Apple Store to get Shawn's phone replaced.  We did a little shopping at the mall while we were there; I scored some great deals on some clothes for Gavin. 

 

 

After shopping, we headed to the other mall to have lunch at the Cheesecake Factory.  Anytime we are in the area, that's where I want to eat at.  We timed it perfectly cause we only had a 10 minute wait for a table.  While waiting, we checked out the Cheesecake case.  Of course though, I already knew which piece I was choosing.

 

 

We both had yummy pasta dishes and then yummy cheesecake.  We both got our own piece and then got a piece to bring home and share.  Shawn ate all of his there, and I actually brought the other two pieces home, along with almost all of my meal.  I was stuffed from all the yummy bread I consumed before they brought our meal.

 

 

Saturday night after we got home from Louisville, Shawn had invited people over for a free UFC fight that was on TV.  We had put a Boston butt in the crock pot before we left, so I prepped that for supper and served BBQ sandwiches, baked beans, macaroni salad.  Steve brought the yummy potato logs from the grocery store, and Bowen brought little piggies in a blanket.  While the guys were watching the fight, Heather and I went to the movies.  We decided that that's going to be our new thing - when the guys have fight night, we are going to have girls movie night!  We went and saw the new movie out called Labor Day.  It was a really good movie!

 

Sunday we had church and then went to lunch at Charlie's Mongolian BBQ.  That place is so yummy!  And I seriously need to learn how to build and stack my plate the way everyone else does.  There is some serious plate builders in there!  LOL!

 

After that, Shawn dropped me off at Snickerdoodle Kid's Art to paint a shamrock for the front door.  I met Kristi and her friend there, and then Kristi drove me out to Heather's where Shawn was at watching the Super Bowl.

 

 

It actually started snowing when we were driving through Newburgh on our way to Heather's and by the time Shawn and I left their house, there was a wintery mess outside.  We made it home safe, but slipped and slide around a couple times.

 

 

 

Snickerdoodle Kids Art: Shamrock

Sunday afternoon I met Kristi and her friend at Snickerdoodle's to paint a shamrock for the front door.  I found my inspiration from Etsy and for the most part it turned out the same.  I even wrote my word on it myself, but next time I'll stick with the painting lady doing it.  She's much better at it then I am!  HAHA!

 

Here is my shamrock...

 

 

And here is my inspiration shamrock...

 

Snickerdoodle Kids Art: Golf Ball & Picture Frame

Last Thursday I went to Snickerdoodle Kids Art by myself to paint the golf ball/tee for Shawn's parent's for their birthday present.  It was such a quick thing to paint I wasn't ready to leave and wanted to paint something else.  I was going to paint a smaller letter for my mom's door, but she didn't have any J's, so I settled on the way cute 5x7 wood frame.  I was going to paint it for my mom but liked it so much I decided to keep it for myself and put one of Gavin's pictures in it and hang it in his room!

 

Snickerdoodle Kids Art: The Heart

Last night I went to Snickerdoodle Kids Art to paint with Kristi and her sister.  I went with an idea in mind, but knew that it could change the minute I got there and saw what everyone else was painting.

Here is my inspiration...

 

And here is my finished project...

 

 

 

 

About halfway through and it's getting close to 9:00 p.m...we started at 6:00 p.m.!  I figured at this rate, I might as well of camp out there, I'll be here till morning!  Ugh!  This was probably one of the most time consuming painting projects I've done.  And as much as I love chevron, I doubt I do another one!

 

This was my first time painting in the new studio.  While I like it, I didn't like how the tables were set up.  We were practically sitting on top of each other and the whole time I was worried that the lady to the left of me was going to stick her arm in my project!  Of course when I took these pictures though, everyone else was done and had gone home already!

 

Seeing her painting projects hanging up on these cute colored doors makes me want to paint my door each time I hang up a new door decoration.  Wonder how Shawn would feel about that?

 

 

And then there was poor Kristi!  All she wanted to do was paint a fun chevron softball.  The type of paint she was using and her wood were not cooperating and was giving off a crackled finish!  She must of put on FIVE coats of that paint and it still wasn't working.  About an hour into it, she was D.O.N.E.!  I felt bad for her, but at the same time was giggling at her.  Sorry for laughing at you girl!  I hope you'll go back with me to paint again!

 

 

 

Snickerdoodle Kids Art: Fall Pumpkin

Kristi and I went to Snickerdoodle Kids Art to paint again last Monday night.  We both painted a fun fall pumpkin!  I love how it turned out and I can't wait to go back again!
