Thirsty Pallette

Tonight it was my turn to host our monthly "game night" festivities! We have had a busy couple months with Shane's dad passing, finishing our basement, life with a one year old & no time to deep clean my house for guests so I was trying to think of something fun the group could do outside of our home.
 
A co-worker of mine had recently had a ladies night out at the Thirsty Palette & raved about how much fun it was so I sent out an email to see if any of the ladies would be interested in doing a game-night "field trip" & luckily all of them were willing to give it a try.

If you have never heard of it, the Thirsty Palette is a cute little place where you can gather to paint your very own masterpiece to take home. Every night they have a featured painting & have an artist there who will demonstrate to the group stroke by stroke how to paint a near identical version of it. While you are painting away, you can enjoy the girl-time, the fun loud music & a glass of wine or beer from their fully stocked bar.

All the girls met at Houlihan's for happy hour & the place was jam packed. They have great special's on app's & cocktails from 4-6pm so we sampled many of their different app's, sipped on a cocktail & enjoyed catching up with one another.

We then headed over to the Thirsty Palette, grabbed a glass of wine & got our "paint on"!

The girls concentrating on painting a perfect picture:

And here are all the girls with their awesome paintings:

Here is a side by side comparison of the picture featured on the website & my version of it on the right:

What?? I could seriously be the next Vincent van Gogh don't you think???

LOL - ok maybe not. My buildings look nothing like the original & my moon resembles Pac Man but hey, we all had a fabulous time & the group agreed to definitely do this "field trip" again!
