Painting Class

(Warning: This doesn't have much to do with wedding planning.)
So Broadmoor (our large and lovely church) does these Women's Night Out classes where it's basically grown up arts and crafts. I usually would suggest doing this with a nice bottle of Chardonnay, but we're Baptist. So that ain't happening.

Nevertheless, there was fun had by all, especially the gossiping between Mom and I (seeing as we haven't really seen each other since Thursday night, it was necessary). And we even got some wedding planning done (social events always turn into some type of planning, it seems). We asked a lovely lady that Mom knew from Broadmoor (of course) about arranging the flowers for the wedding. She's never done cotton as a flower arrangement, but she says she's excited to try.

Side note: So the wedding theme is kind of southern-y. Like my colors are peacock, cream, and burlap. So I've decided to use cotton instead of flowers wherever possible. Don't knock it until you've seen it. Thanks to Pinterest, I'm not the only one currently obsessed with this. And seeing as we have a cotton farm, it's budget friendly (which Mom is obsessed with).

here's an idea (minus the dark ribbon)

Anyway, back to the painting class. It was a lot fun and productive. Here are some pictures of the wonderful works of art that Mom and I painstakingly made (with stencils, of course).

My painting, a work in progress.

Fortuantly, the lady in charge will continue to work on our canvases and touch them up so I pray they are returned to us as beautiful pieces of art.

For now, I'm off to work in Collins at the chicken plant. My excitement cannot really be conveyed through this blog, but a job is a job (and it's way better than wasting hours in the office as an intern).
