A Paint Party with friends!

Seven girlfriends and I took a painting class and made Lazy Susans at Miller's Crossing Design Center

The first thing we did was to choose the transfers that we wanted to apply on the Lazy Susan, and then we painted the wood with Fusion Mineral paint:

After painting the wood, we rubbed on the transfers, then coated it with a finish to protect it all.

Busy Bees:

I chose a "wine theme" , using grape transfers:

There were lots of flowers....

..and a variety of colors....

...and beautiful designs:

I brought "1911 Orchard Palmer" cocktails and little charcuterie cups for a snack while our paint was drying!

Here's how I made the little cups to hold the snacks:

I bought flat pumpkin cards, little muffin cups and little pumpkin skewers.

I stapled the muffin cups to the front of the pumpkin cards:

On the little skewers, I added a cube of cheese, ham and pickle and also tucked in some chocolate!

I bought the pumpkin skewers at Hobby Lobby:

I brought the cocktail in a plastic beverage dispenser I bought last year at the Dollar Tree!

To make one serving:

• 1.5 oz 1911 Honeycrisp Vodka
• Equal parts Beak & Skiff Fresh Cider and Lemonade
• Fill glass with ice and fill with Palmer Mix

It's always fun to get together with girlfriends, especially when we can be creative!!

My favorite tray for get-togethers like this:
