Hello there, Sweet Friends, today on the blog I will be sharing with you about my “Pop Up Party” last weekend and the craft projects friends and I did using A Maker’s Studio products.

Painting and Stenciling to craft a beautiful life.

If you like crafting; painting, stenciling, stamping, basically using your hands to create beautiful things, check out my Workshop Calendar here.

Craft Projects with A Maker’s Studio paint, stencils and stamps.

This past Sunday on the way to my store in Redwood City, I counted 52 cyclist on the five mile drive into town.  For the month of December, I have Craft Workshops at my store on Saturday and Sunday’s from 10am to 12 noon, just to name a few.  I hope you’ll stop by and “Create With Me”.  The address is 615 Woodside Road, Suite 3 in Redwood City, California.

The road is mezmorizingly gorgeous. The trees are so tall you can barely see the clouds in the sky. The sun struggles to shine through the branches and leaves. The colors are magnificent. This is why I moved out to the woods. Sometimes I even get lucky enough to be able to craft outside.  

Saturday, friends gathered at my Woodland Paradise for a “Pop-Up Party,” just community and gathering. We painted wood surfaces and stenciled and stamped beautiful words that remind us how to reflect on life.

I was so excited and grateful friends made the trek to my Woodland Paradise in the rain and stormy weather.  Northern California has been battling the “much needed” rain since Thanksgiving. It is much needed for our planet but for me and my new home it is an adjustment.

If you’d like to host a gathering in the Northern California area, leave a comment below.  You can also attend my workshop Wednesday, December 12th at 7pm in Redwood City.  We will be making “Holiday Towels with A Maker’s Studio Gel Inks.”  Please leave a comment if you’d like to attend.

Mallory knocked it out of the park with this “Bless this Home” sign.  She was eager to get home and finish her project gluing ribbon to the edges.  

Here are the supplies we used to make the craft including links on how to purchase the products:

• Rescue and Restore Paint in color Blessed, Rescue and Restore Paint in color Southern Gentleman.
• A Maker’s Studio Chalk Art in a variety of colors.
• A Maker’s Studio Adhesive Mesh Stencils.
• Wood Surfaces, these can be purchased at any craft store.
• Paint Brushes in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Aren’t the signs with the words “blessed” and “grateful” so perfect as a pair. My friends Monica and Sam created these treasures.

The Gathering went well!  When doesn’t crafting and gathering with friends go well? I’m eager to share this fun concept; “Pop-Up Parties!” with others.  Please think about attending one of my gatherings, or having your own.  I’d be thrilled to come over, get you set up and lead your party.

Thanks for reading, Sweet Friends, and I hope to see you soon.
