Painting Party!

For our date night Friday, Jared and I decided to paint! Canvases were on sale at our local craft store (Porters) and neither of us are painters, nor expect to become one, so we figured this might be our only time to be able to paint on canvasses! => Originally we were going to buy one big canvas and both pain on it at the same time, just to see what we can make together, but then we decided we should test our individual skills first, so we got smaller (20 by 16) canvasses for individual painting. => We started them on Friday, then got distracted by swimming at a hot springs with some friends, then finished them on sunday! => It was so fun! I am leaving for Boise today to watch my aunts little girls while they go on a romantic cruise, but when I get back Jared and I are going to paint on the big canvas! I am so excited for that! This was such a fun date! I would recomend it! (as well as the painting on one together, but i havent quite done that yet) =>Let it begin!! => Jared beginning his beach/ocean masterpiece! =>

This is Jared's wonderful masterpiece! I think its so cute! He says it looks like a kindergartener did it => Can you find all 5 faces? =>
This is my little flower! => I tried to shade it, but I couldnt make my blue dark enough, I think you can see a little shading => (thanks again for the tips and help Gram!)
Yay! They are actually straight! => I hung them all by myself! No husband or tools (minus a hammer) =>! Yay!
This is the big picture! Looking into the living room from the kitchen! => And I dont think I did a post about this (I thought about it) Jared and I recieved the stereo system from my Grandparents house. They were not very cute, so I painted the speakers and shelf black! That was a fun project that took up a good amount of my time (which is good!) => So now you all get to see our sweet set-up! =>
