Happy Anniversary, GG!

As I sit here contemplating on what I'm thankful for, I am truly thankful for the ONE year that I've been a blogger. I know if anyone has their mind set on it, they can do it and become a very successful blogger, but I am just appreciative of the platform that I've built and am now expounding upon. I am grateful for the first post, the sabbatical, the return and now the current. I'm expanding, and I can only hope that you guys will be there with me to see my continous growth!

Happy One Year Anniversary, The Glammed Griot!

A "Wine, Women and Canvas" Casual Birthday Weekend!

This past weekend, I celebrated my good friend's birthday by going to Wine and Canvas. This was my first time going, so of course I didn't know how to dress for the event! He called me and said, "I'm going casual." Um... what is this CASUAL?! The GG doesn't DO casual! So, I had to go looking for something casual, and that's what I did. Casual. Hmm. It even feels funny saying it.

Hubby bought these Chuck Taylor's for me last year. I have never worn them. So I said might as well pull them out tonight!

Chump wanted to jump in the picture lol!



My "Vintage" Barbie shirt I bought years ago made its debut yet again on this night... I love this shirt!

My accessories are from LuxeBaby (earrings) and of course my eyewear are Jackson Harlem Icons.

So I was casually ready to go out on the town!

After looking at all of the beautiful pictures on the wall, I was reluctant to start because I am NOT an artist by no means, so I needed some "Liquid Courage." LOL! The cheese, grapes and crackers were AWESOME! I think the Moscato brought out the flavor.

Here's my blank canvas. This was before I created my "Masterpiece". LOL!

My good friend and I are ready to paint the town! He's also very fashionable. He's my hairstylist, by the way. Awesome buddy!

 Getting ready to paint, we strike a pose for the camera. My buddy's trying to look like he knows what he's doing LOL!

 He's actually doing a great job!!! He can do more than hair, apparently! LOL!

My final result. My Adult A.D.D. started kicking in after a while.

Meh. This is a blurry pic. One too many moscatos. LOL!

In all, the night was a total blast. This was a different experience for me. I do not like to paint, draw or anything, so for my friend to want to do this for his birthday was definitely a step out of the ordinary for me. I'm really glad that he enjoyed himself! I was glad to be a part of it, as well.
