The creation of Funky Tree

Sips n Strokes has become a well known business here in Auburn as well as other locations around the south and there's no question on why it's been so successful. What's more fun than getting a few friends together, drinking wine (or whatever beverage you chose) and trying to your best to paint?


It's definitely an experience to say the least!


This past week my little sister Colleen came down to Auburn to visit for a few days/help me pack up my AU life and we had way too much fun on Friday.

We tried really hard to recreate the painting that the person up front was painting along with us but it's more difficult than it looks.  The fun thing is that everyone takes their own approach to the paintings so you leave at the end of the night with 70 different takes on one original picture. 

The only downfall to Sips n Strokes is the price. By no means is it outrageous but as a poor college student anything above $10 seems expensive.  Depending on the painting, the cost is either $25 or $35 and that includes all the paint, brushes and nice canvas.  It's a good deal as long as your willing to spend the money.

I would say that I was getting a little impatient that we didn't start for nearly 30 minutes because people were late.  When it says it starts at 7pm that means get there EARLIER not right on time.  So those of us who came early had to wait a good hour before we even began to paint. Other than that I really have no complaints about it!

(Don't we have amazing art skills??)

So just a quick little update on my life:


-I move out of my beautiful apartment on Thursday so I've been doing my best to pack.  I sent a ton of stuff home with Colleen and it's extremely depressing now that my walls are basically naked. 


-Graduation is in exactly TWO WEEKS!!!!!!


-Hmm....and lastly I'm currently reading Water for Elephants thanks to Colleen.  So hopefully it's as amazing as she says!


Until next time! <3
