Painting and drinking

Erin and I went to a board painting party at Emmett's (a local bar) a few weeks ago. We both picked something Christmas-y to paint. We had done those canvas painting/drinking parties before, so expected it to be like that. This was actually a lot more work! They just give you a piece of wood and instructions. You have to chalk up a piece of paper and then trace over a printout of your design to basically stencil it onto the wood in chalk. Then you paint what you've stenciled on. Afterwards, you wipe off your board with a wipe to remove all the chalk. By the end of the night (and yes, this took the entire 3 hours to finish!), we were sweaty and tired. They didn't turn out exactly as great as we hoped. In fact, Erin thought hers was all dry and started to wipe off the extra chalk and got a big paint streak on her board. :( 

We had chalk all over us after this!
