Much thanks for a wonderful Friday afternoon at Brushstrokes for all the mommies, babies and guests who attended.  It was a pleasure to get creative with all of you and I have heard that many of your masterpieces have turned out lovely!  What a feast we had too, thank you all for bringing things to share for eating and drinkiing.

Just a reminder that the Studio will hold your pieces for 30 days so don’t forget to pick them up.  

*Should anyone not have an opportunity to pick up their pieces in Berkeley, I will be going to the Studio THIS Sunday, August 16th AND Sunday, August 23rd and am offering to pick up your pieces and deliver them to you when I see you at DayOne.  

I MUST have your YELLOW INVOICE paper receipt though in order to do so as without it, I will not be able to pick the items up.  I will be at DayOne this week and next week so feel free to give me your invoice if that would be helpful to you.

 

Anyone who did not receive my email of the photos and would like them, please email me, I’ll happily share!

Brushstrokes

They are a studio that is similar to "Color Me Mine" or a place where you can do your child's hand prints/footprints and then get it glazed, colored, decorated.  Really reasonable in prices and you can also do a variety of pots, bowls etc.
It is a little further but located in Berkeley (we can take 24 over!)  They offer something called a Mom Group time and if anyone is interested, it would be fun to all go together, make a day of it?  Would be fun to do our children's prints for ourselves or gifts.  The Mom Group includes a whole area for us to change the babies, feed them etc.  Prices are really reasonable too! $7.50 a mom.
