So my lovely friend
Jenica wanted to start a once a month art night where we work on a different project each month. June it was art journals (that we will come back to every three months or so) and last night we did word canvas stuff. We call them Random Art Workshops and they have been everything I need and more. A few shots from our small July gathering last night:
I think you have to have some healthy with the crap, to even things out. I made carrot bread...oh I love carrot bread and having an excuse to bake it.
It is so awesome to sit and talk about heavy stuff while creating and not missing a beat. I have missed that.
Work in progress. I love that I got home after 1, then was on a buzz from the night and couldn't wind down until about 3...and woke up with paint on my fingers.
I love how Jenica's side of the table has so much more on it than mine and Amy's :) I love seeing the layers of creative goodness.
Amy, Jenica, and me, right before leaving. Smaller group last night, but never lacking.

What a great idea! I think scheduling time to be with friends and be creative is so therapeutic and wonderful, I think everyone should have nights (or days) like this!
I want to see your masterpieces! I love the little CHOICE canvas you made for me.
love this
and you
and i was totally up until after 3 am.

Ahhhh, this would be fun Hannah. Ditto to Jill's comment and I love looking at my canvas every.single.day.
I was totally asleep by 1 am. :) But I love you anyway.
this is truly awesome!!!
Such a cute picure of you guys!!
Sounds like so much fun...
We do this too with a group of 7 people but meet every other month. Last month we painted wine glasses. (You know my neighbors.)
i have been looking for a carrot bread recipe...willing to share?
i love those moments of expression...makes me feel so much better about everything! i think i will set aside a night every month where it is just me being me (with of course the crap and the healthy and the mess!)
Brilliant!! This is such a great idea and looks like great fun. And I have never even heard of carrot bread -- what the?? I'm missing out.
Fun, fun times. One of these nights I'll join you guys!
Sounds like an awesome night!!! Next time I'll have to crash the party - because I love creativity and Oreo's :)
