Instead, she got a birthday surprise: a Paint Party, hosted by her daughter.
(That's the birthday girl in the black sweater.)
She was really, really surprised. (I love that when that happens.)
The great thing about a paint party is that you don't have to have actual talent to paint. I know this because I've attended two of these soirees now, and I can assure you, I can't paint.

Fabulous subject matter, and good painting too!
Love painting and tipping back a cocktail to celebrate of course! Never thought the two went together but they do. It's always great to be with the gals and do ANYTHING! Thanks for sharing!
Sue can't possibly be telling the truth! Looks like great fun. ~ Maureen
I would say there was some real talent there that night or was it in the bottle? Well done! I need to have a night like that with a whisky sour.

I don't remember if you read my post on Skills, but I have photos of a couple of the students in a class I used to teach. Your friend Irene would appreciate what we did after class.
