This past weekend I had friends and family over for a night of painting - paint by numbers! Everyone was really excited about coming. I received texts all week in anticipation! We had the best time. It was so nice to sit and talk and snack and paint the night away. It's also a bit addictive. You just want to keep adding to the colors. This is going to be a really fun get together we can enjoy on repeat throughout the Winter months. Hosting a paint by number party of your own is as easy as asking a few friends - having them order artwork of their choice - and opening up your house.
The flower kit above is the paint by number that I ordered. I'm going to post a board on Friday that is full of paint by number kits that caught my eye. I will include a link to this kit on that board. My sister in law ordered a flower like this, but with more pinks.
I made a charcuterie board, and my sister brought cinnamon doughnuts from the cider mill along with a signature cocktail for the night. Cocktail recipe below.
My sister is painting an owl.
The sky was so pretty that night.
Back to the cocktail. It's called a sour apple cherry bomb. Here is how you make it:
1 shot grenadine
1 shot fireball whiskey
2 shots fresh apple cider (from the cider mill)
1 shot ginger ale (Vernor's in MI)
maraschino cherries for garnish
It's very good, but sweet. I think even adding a splash or so of club soda would be good. Or maybe even extra ginger ale.
The far painting is Gucci Giraffe. Super cute.
And Guinness - tired out from all the company.
