One Stroke Flower Pot

Here's another thing I made with the One Stroke painting technique. It's a flower pot! I'm not sure what my next project will be. Maybe a bird feeder or a shelf. We'll have to see!

One Stroke Grape Tray

With by Birthday gift certificate money for Michael's (thanks mom and dad) I took a One Stroke painting class. I got a One Stroke kit for Christmas but I hadn't done any projects by myself yet. I had just been practicing. So, I took the class to push me to start doing projects on my own. During the class I finished a grape tray. I painted the whole thing by myself. Pretty cool, huh? Maybe future presents for you guys. Who has the next birthday? :-) I'm about to make a flower pot with One Stroke flowers. I'll display a picture when I have that all finished. Hopefully sometime this weekend I'll have a chance to do that. The tray didn't take that long either. I finished it in about 30 minutes.

Here is a picture of Zach and I at the bowling alley. The bowling alley had a black light.

Before dinner we went to a place called Jillians. It has 3 floors in the building. The first floor is a restaurant, the second floor is a game rooms, and the third floor is a bowling alley (it also has a dance club but that doesn't open until 9:00 p.m.). We had some appetizers at the restaurant and then played a couple bowling games. Allison beat us all. Hannah said she wasn't used to the weight of the bowling ball (mm-hmm).

Mom, Dad, and Hannah came to Indy to celebrate my Birthday (oh yeah, it was for Dad's birthday too). For dinner we went to Rock Bottom. It was yum-o.

Here is a picture of a fancy wine bar that Zach and I went to for my birthday. The place was called Divine Wine. We each ordered a "Wine Flight", which was a sampling of 3 similiar wines. We also ordered a cheese, cracker, and fruit platter. The place was very chic. It was a lot of fun. And the wine was yummy too.

Sarah's B-Day

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything. I have to have a lot of time on my hands to download a picture because of my slow internet. Anyway, I thought I'd send out a picture of my birthday. My cakes were so cute this year I wanted everyone to see.
