Pottery Painting

One afternoon, our departments at work took a little break - a MUCH NEEDED break!  We like to call it "team building".  We went to Be Wild for Art in Norman, Oklahoma.  You pick the piece you want to paint, your colors, brushes - and let me tell you, there are TONS of items to pick from!  It was so hard to decide!!




These are all the colors of paint

They even have a bling bar - can't go wrong with a little bling!


Pick your poison!


I will be doing a platter next!

Aren't they all so intensely focused?!?  I love how they all seemed to manage a "We are trying to paint, get the camera out of our face" smile!


I knew I wanted to do something for my kitchen so it had to be turqouse and yellow - this was my inspiration.

I chose to do a spoon rest - plus I wanted to start small :)



After they fire the paint, it gets so much darker - crazy.

After I was done with the spoon rest, I wanted to do something else.  Um...it's kind of addicting.  Soooo...I decided to make David a mug for his birthday.  This is why I've waited so long to post these pictures - his birthday is the end of December and I didn't want to spoil the surprise.






Here they are after having them fired.  See how much darker they look??  I love it!

My finished products!

IMPOSSIBLE to get everyone looking - they hate me because I force pictures upon them!
I can wait to go back. I think we need another team building exercise!!

    So much fun! I haven't done this in years, way back when I worked at a day care center. I love how bright it all turned out!

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

A Batman Wedding and a $9 Wedding Dress

I was on this blog today and she was talking about how women spend so much money on wedding dresses.  It reminded me of my wedding and then I realized I've never blogged about it!!!  It's already been a year and half and I still haven't even scrapbooked it!!!  Where does the time go? Ok...to the dress.  I knew exactly what I wanted.  I wanted it to be short, satin, and a "pick-up" style dress.  I looked around at David's Bridal and other stores but I just couldn't see spending more than $100 on my dress.  (I've been married before and had the big, fancy wedding - and we see how well that worked out!!)  So this time, I wanted a small wedding and didn't want to spend much.  I walked into Ross one day looking for something else and decided to walk through the dresses to look for a dress for my sis, the MOH.  It was like the clouds opened up and the angels were singing and the sun beamed down on this dress.  You can't really tell fr...
