Last year for my birthday, I was looking for something different to do to celebrate. I came across GoGirl Paint Parties run by a local artist, Lisa Dick. She holds them at her husband's restaurant, Buckley's Lunchbox, in the evening. So, last year, I reserved her for a private party, and it was a blast! For $40 a person, she provides the canvases, paints, and instruction. You don't have to have any experience painting!
Back in high school, I really enjoyed art and took several classes. Since then, I have never picked it back up for some reason (Sean even bought me an easel, canvases, and paints a couple of years ago). After my birthday I promised myself I would take time to paint. Then, you guessed it- life got in the way! I haven't picked up a paintbrush since then, until last night, that is. My friend Terry has been attending parties regularly and urged me to go. I went last night, and it was so much fun! There is something so rewarding about starting with a blank canvas and getting this:
So, I have recommitted myself to making time to do this thing I enjoy so much! How do you make time to do things you enjoy?
