During vacation, the Sisters group at church had a paint party and I signed up for myself, my mom, and a friend to come. My friend claimed she wasn’t a painter and I said that it would all be fine and that my mom has probably never held a paintbrush in her hands.
For not fun reasons, my friend was not able to come. I then sent a text to another friend, one of my MOPS moms, asking if she’d like to come. It was my treat, she just needed to come. She was thrilled and all the child care worked out easily for her. So one friend was sad and one was blessed to tears by the opportunity to come to a Sisters event.
I had hoped it was a paint party of copying the design the teacher had for us as I’ve seen many friends participate in doing. However, it was a plaque/wall board and phrase paint class. We used chalk paint and learned the benefits and the properties of it and it was fun.
This was shocking…. my mom doing a craft project!!
About 40 were there, we had snacks but once we started with the project we were too busy to think much about more snacks!
We had a good table of friends. Fun evening and we were happy with our projects!
Mom was sort of a celebrity when I had her out for events. She was thrilled to have “come the farthest” and everyone was thrilled she was out traveling and her age.
I’m taking bets if she has this hidden in her room or hung in the main living area. What do you think?
Mine is ready to be hung…. I need to choose what will hang on the wall area and do a layout.
and sew on...
