As the holiday season approaches it is sometimes daunting to try and get your favorite group of people together for an evening out. But we did it! Six of us headed out to Starlight Handmade for a private paint night party. At first, I thought this would be like ‘Toddlers Gone Wild’ in the paint section of the local hardware store. I was wrong.
With a completed demo in front of us and a couple quick tips and tricks for starting our projects the paint soon started flying onto our stained wooden blanks. Everyone’s quirks and individuality soon emerged as the gnomes started to take shape. After about an hour and a half there were six unique gnome porch signs staring back at us. Okay – maybe not staring since you couldn’t see their eyes, but you get the idea.
Not only did we have a blast getting our creative groove on – we also got to shop. Christmas gifts (and treats for ourselves) were purchased without the chaos of your standard trip to the mall during the holiday season. With the amazing selection of locally sourced merchandise there is no doubt in my mind that you will find something for everyone on your list.
