Mad Monday

Unlike some people, I always enjoy Mondays. For the past four years, I've had the pleasure of getting together with a fabulous group of ladies, on the pretense of teaching them to paint. Really, the art is just a small part of our day. We laugh, talk, eat, laugh, chat, eat, laugh, eat some more.....and maybe get some painting done too!

To make it even more fun, classes are held at the home of the gorgeous S, who lives in a beautiful spot near the water. Doesn't sound much like work, does it? Here's a pic of the kind of view we get to enjoy every week:






Oh, and to make things even more fun, I'm helping S with the renovation of her lovely beach house. I'll try to get some decent photos today of what we've done so far, it's looking great already.

I have a busy few days ahead this week, but I'll make sure I get the little giveaway I mentioned organised and underway. Hope you all have a great Monday too!

  9. Kerri Monday sounds like a wonderful day for you. A few years back I belonged to a painting class like that, not much painting done but lots of laughing, chatting and fun was had week after week.

  15. Kerry, your post takes me back. I know just how much I used to enjoy my Saturday morning folk art classes. The group of ladies I painted with were all from very different backgrounds, varying ages and different stages in our lives. However it was amazing just how well we bonded through our common love of painting. We also managed to solve ALL the problems of the world in those 4 short hours on a Saturday morning! I envy your Mondays.
