So Amy and I started off the celebrating a week early with a girl's night at a place called "Painting with a Twist". I have always wanted to go here! It is a place that you can go in one evening paint one painting from beginning to end. They provide the paint, canvas, brushes and a friendly instructor. The twist is that you can bring your own beverage. So Amy and I brought some wine.
My mom and I have taken similar classes at my local community center, minus the wine part. I really enjoy the "do it in one class" part.
I looked up this site about a month ago and saw that the Grapevine location had a version of a Van Gogh painting, Stary Night in the Swap, on Aug 10th. I love Van Gogh! Especially Stary Night! So Amy and I booked it! I was really looking forward to it!!
We had a blast! I am pleased with my painting and we have plans to go again soon!!! Here is a link to the place: http://www.paintingwithatwist.com/

| My final painting. I don't hate it. It doesn't look like the Van Gogh, but that's okay. |
