This was not painted by a 5 year old...
I did it. That wine and paint class is fun but this is what happens...
You can laugh or shake your head.
It is on display on the 3rd floor. If only I had a fireplace... NOT to burn it! To hang it over.
It was my first wine and paint and will be my last.

Petco to Stop Selling Pet Treats Made in China
Regarding this post... A client posted a comment on Facebook that is a point I had not considered. "The problem is even if it says Made in the USA it could still be made with ingredients sourced in Chine. You need to check every company you buy."
Thanks DH! Great point!
