🎨 Calling Local Event Spaces & Venues! 🎨
J&J Paint Parties is building a list of recommended venues for private birthday paint parties and creative events in the southwest Twin Cities area!
We often hear from potential clients who would love to book a paint party, but don’t have a space large enough to host one. We’d love to connect with local venues interested in being added to our preferred venue list for future referrals.
We’re currently looking for spaces near:
📍 Chaska
📍 Victoria
📍 Chanhassen
📍 Eden Prairie
📍 Minnetonka
📍 Hopkins
📍 Plymouth
Ideal spaces could include:
✨ Coffee shops
✨ Breweries or wineries
✨ Community rooms
✨ Event spaces
✨ Restaurants with private rooms
✨ Art-friendly studios or gathering spaces
If you own, manage, or know of a great local venue that may be interested, please comment below or send us a message. We’d love to collaborate and help bring more creative events into the community! 🎨💛

If this story reaches even one person who feels lost, overwhelmed, or weighed down by life, I hope it reminds them that healing, hope, and purpose can still grow from the hardest places. 🤍

In this episode, I share more than my business journey. I talk about grief, rebuilding after loss, bipolar disorder, sobriety, motherhood, creativity, and what it’s looked like to keep creating a life through seasons that felt impossibly heavy.

I opened up about starting before I felt ready, finding purpose in the middle of pain, and why authenticity matters more to me now than perfection ever did.

To everyone who has supported me along the way, attended a paint party, shared encouraging words, shown up for me, or simply believed in me… thank you. You’ve been part of this journey too.

I also shared my story in honor of Kev, who believed in me when I couldn’t believe in myself. His love, wisdom, and strength carried me through some of my darkest moments, and even now, they continue to guide me forward every single day. ❤️

Discover how she transforms personal loss, chaos, and challenges into a thriving legacy of influence, creativity, and unstoppable impact.

May the 4th be with us… and this group did NOT disappoint 💫

We had 6 amazing painters join us for our Star Wars partner paint party tonight (including 2 awesome kids), and watching these pieces come together side-by-side was so special.

We were so impressed, especially with the sponge technique they all mastered for the background!

If you have a themed partner paint idea, we’d love to hear it!

Today, at my parent’s home in sunny Arizona, I got to paint with my own crew… 13 of my nieces and nephews. 💛
Laughter, messy palettes, big imaginations, and thirteen completely unique masterpieces.

Proof that creativity doesn’t wait for permission… it just shows up and plays.

And honestly? We could all take a note from that. 🌵🎨

What a fun afternoon!
