Any of my painting-party-going friends want to jump in on a Fundraising Painting Party in Meridian this Friday night, the 13th at 6:30? I will be facilitating...the hostess needs to fill at least 2 spots, but you can gather a group of your friends/family and join in, if you'd like.

We're painting canvases, dough bowls, cutting boards, door hangers, wooden ornaments.

PM me if interested.

I don't know why exactly, but this cracked me up so bad!!!
