Thankful Friday 386 and Find Your Beach Event

I am posting this as my TGIF; Thankful Friday post since these sessions were on Friday and I'm so thankful that my school district and previous employer contracts with me to do this. It's a great retirement gig!

I just finished an event for my local school district. I always include some professional development along with the art lesson and this one was about dealing with stress and finding your beach. Not in the sense of a physical place but as a state of mind.

Here's the canvases that I painted:

And some photos of the event:

There were 35 attendees per session and everyone had a great time and made beautiful canvases.

I've been holding more events so I figured I should have a label for them. 

This was a fun canvas to paint and everyone did a great job personalizing their paintings.

I added the quote once I got home to complete it.

I was very happy and surprised to see this.

TGIF; Thankful Friday #375

Hey there! It's Friday and another week to be thankful. I had a busy one but I'm especially thankful for my girls that always show up for me. I hosted a paint party at my home and it was a lot of fun.

We painted this:

My front room all set up:

And some action and group shots

We had a lot of fun and laughed a lot! 

What are you thankful for this week?
