Pottery Painting

I feel so lucky to have friends that really love my kids.  My best friend, Jen, always does the sweetest things for both girls and today was no exception.  Last year for Handley's Christmas gift Jen took her to Build-a-Bear and this year she had a fantastic idea to take her to paint pottery!  Today we went to Glazy Dazy, a brand new paint-your-own-pottery studio in Smyrna.  
Jen helped Handley pick out her paint colors and then it was time for her to get started. 

One of her favorite parts was wiping the pottery down with a wet sponge.  She would have just been happy to do this over and over all day. :-)

She started painting and loved moving from one color to the next. 
Harper was pretty good while we were there...sat in her stroller and ate Puffs at first and then wanted in on the action.
Handley's completed gingerbread man ornament.
And her completed plate (I added a little to the edges)


We go back to pick up her completed pottery next week and I can't wait to see what the finished product looks like.  As soon as we left she kept saying she wanted to do more so we will definitely be heading back again soon.  Also, Jen and I saw lots of really neat ideas for serving pieces.  Glazy Dazy lets you plan "girls night outs" at their studio so we are going to be planning a night out for painting our own pottery soon.  If anyone is interested let me know because we'd love to have a big group to go with us!
