This sweet little girl had a great day with fun friends, yummy food, and of course PAINTING! She hand picked her cupcake design, specifying that she wanted a light teal background, polkadots, a cherry on top and LOTS OF SPRINKLES 😃 All of the girls were so sweet and kind. They had a great time and did an amazing job with their paintings. It was a joy to be a part of Hayden's special day! #paintingparties #paintingclasses #birthdayparty

We always have a blast with the members at the Akron Turner Club in Tallmadge. This is the type of place where "everybody knows your name". Every time we walk into the Turner Club we are welcomed so warmly, and these people just know how to have fun! After coming off of a rough and prolonged winter, I found it fitting to paint a beach concept for the evening. There was a lot of laughter and longing for the summer. I can't wait for our next party. Rumor has it, it may be at

Have kids? Have kid stuff? Ever wonder how to give clothes and toys that no longer have use in your home a new life, and make a few bucks? Round 2 Kids in Cuyahoga Falls allows families the chance to turn in what they are done with and receive either store credit or cash for the goods. They are a family business and strive to offer the best selection of gently used clothing size premie-14/16 boys and girls. In addition they buy and sell equipment, toys, shoes and more. Wit

Last weekend Bumble Bree Art joined forces with Crossfit High Gear in Medina. This was our second event with High Gear, and once again we all had a blast. The night started out with a cardio work out - Cross Fit style - next we cooled down with Yoga, and finally it was painting time!! The awesome staff at Crossfit provided yummy snacks and wine to enjoy after our hard work. Then, sitting down to paint helped us unwind from our endorphin filled evening. Our concept for the eve

Since I make my own schedule, I can sometimes accommodate a last minute request. In Brenda's case, her family was traveling in from all over the place and gathering for a ladies' night. When she asked if I could arrange to show up as part of the holiday fun, I was happy to oblige! Brenda had painted with me before and decided this would be the perfect activity for the gals. So we made colorful trees, and performed one of my favorite pastimes in class: baby foot stamps. M

Many of the ladies at this party were mom's of little one's ready to enjoy a brief moment of relaxation and creativity. All of us were able to laugh at and relate to some of the stories these young mom's had to tell. We all enjoyed a quiet evening painting a bright red flower. Cheri and I had a great time planning the party and it was so fun getting to know some of her friends and family. Thank you Cheri for a relaxing evening at Viking Vineyards! #paintingparties #paintingpa

I so enjoyed reconnecting with some of these ladies at our painting party last weekend. I have known Stacy and her family since I was a teenager. She was one of the first people I met when my family moved to Ohio. We are so blessed to have our friendship after so many years, and I can say the same for several of the ladies that were there. Some of Stacy's guests were her coworkers. They were such a fun group and a joy to get to know. Our concept for the evening was a Tuscan l

What do you get when you combine a penguin, an umbrella and some bright colors? Kristin's birthday party. Hollie threw a party for friends and family full of puddles of paint. And yes, it rained that day. It was a nice change from the extreme Ohio heat we've survived for the past month. We relaxed to country music tunes and took a moment to sing to our birthday girl. Having a painting party for a birthday event with Bumble Bree Art means we can paint whatever our guest o

Fairlawn Country Club was lush green with landscaping at its peak when Bumble Bree Art held a painting class by the pool. Some of the guests had never even picked up a brush and some had a wealth of art experience. This is the right painting for that occasion, since the wine glass and bottle painting can be beautiful just following the steps or customized with climbing grapevines and shading. Our painters did exceedingly well and stayed for the sunset. I was delighted tha

Over the past year I have been mentoring a friend of mine, Kelci Rayl to be a part of my artist team at Bumble Bree Art. I am happy to announce that she officially held her first, solo Wine and Paint party last evening, and it was a success! I knew it would be. Kelci is a talented and personable artist with a bright future at Bumble Bree Art. I am so excited for her and for our partnership. Check out these pictures from her first party. Great job Kelci! #Paintingclass #winepa
