Now, don't dare laugh...

or if you DO.....keep it quite.

Most of you know that I am not crafty...in any form or fashion.
....totally talentless


but we have a pottery place here called
THE CLAY CAFE
and you buy a piece there, paint it, and they fire it for you.

One of my Bunco groups decided that we would have a lot of fun doing this together...
and we did.

Daughter Stacy, Deeds and I didn't finish so we went back
a few days later and spent another 2 hours, painting together.
(too busy to take photos....SHOOT...)

I picked mine up today, after a long day of running errands and etc.


I chose this little plate and TRIED to do a stencil of the three little houses....
it didn't go too  well
but, gosh, it was fun.

Loved hanging with my girls...
and I loved those three little whimsical houses.....so I just went for it.



I think I might have chosen a piece with such tiny painting surfaces
(as those little windows and the roofs...)
that I had a little bit of a hard time making it neat...
but I like it anyway.
 I like it because it will remind me always
of the fun time we had......together.


By the time I got home, I was hot and ready for an afternoon snack...
*


 I can't paint...nor sew...nor sing...
but if I let THAT stop me from doing things...
look what fun with my girls I would have missed.

    I think it is perfect! A loooonnnnng time ago, we used to paint after work! A bunch of us would make the walk across the street to paint and the little old lady would fire it for us! I remember how excited I was to pick up my creation:) Have a blessed day dear B.J. HUGS!

    Now BJ don't you laugh ... But I just googled the term Bunco group. I was not familiar with it.
    I think your plate is precious, plus it is a reminder of the fun you shared with your Daughter and Grand and that is priceless.
    xoxo,

    Oh my goodness, why would we laugh!? The plate is adorable BJ! I have never believed you when you say you don't have a talent for making things, I just don't. I have seen too many of your cute projects and beautiful decorating. I love this, truly I do, and if you were selling them I would be first in line to buy.

    BJ, and now it's truly YOURS! I did a little pitcher with apples on it at one of these places, and now my daughter treasures it in her collection of pitchers.

    I think it turned out super cute, bj. In fact, if we had one of those places here, I'd try my hand at it, because you inspired me :)

    Oh my goodness, your plate turned out sooooooo cute, bj, and what fun hanging with your girls! Peanut butter cracker are an old standby of my Mom's and one I would give my kids. Nothing could be better with them than a root beer float. You sure lead the good, fun life!

    Oh what fun you had! I don't think it's funny, it simply looks like a 'naive' art plate! I have one I cherish that my DD made when she was a teen and it's a pretty lady. I love yours and it'll look darling in the kitchen wall.
    Loved your sweet visit pretty lady.
    Have a happy weekend.

    What a fun piece . . . and every time you look at it you'll remember your painting time with your friends.
    I think it is a very fine piece of "whimsical" to add to your collections . . .

    I think the little houses and the black dots are whimsical and will make you smile whenever you look at the plate. I would like to do that at a paint your pottery place.

    Those places are so fun. My DIL and I went to one of those paint and wine places and we had so much fun. The painting is a fun reminder of a great time and it is not nearly as good as your ceramic. I love both the Milne quote and the one from Erma.
