The amazing women I work with at the salon decided that we should do a "Wine and Canvas" event for our Christmas party this year instead of going out to dinner. If you don't know what "Wine and Canvas" is, you should go to http://www.wineandcanvas.com/ or maybe even http://www.whatholedoyoulivein.com/. (Don't actually go to that last one.) If you live in the Indianapolis area and are interested in hosting such an event, you should totally contact Andy Stone (See "Art With Andy" on Facebook). That guy was a blast and did an amazing job! Anywho, here is what my canvas ended up looking like:

I quickly realized after painstakingly choosing to paint in pastels and getting this...(ahem!)..."painting" home, that I have not a single pastel object in my house to match it. Whoops! It all turned out for the best, though. After chatting with my BFF out in Washington, she expressed that she would be honored if I would send the painting out to her to hang in her little girl's room. Maybe she was just being nice, too. Maybe she's trying to ward off goblins. It was a nice gesture, nonetheless. She says it's now proudly displayed in little MJP's room and sent this picture to verify that she hadn't shoved it into the back of the closet:
