Every
so often and not often enough, Mama on a Budget becomes “Hot Mama on a lesser
Budget” and springs for a girls’ night out. I recently had such an experience at Artscapade. You may remember I have written about
Artscapade before and you can read all about that first (kid-friendly)
experience here. But this trip was different. This was a certified-GNO (Girls’ Night
Out) and I didn’t even get home until super late; I’m talking 10:15!
The
Artscapade GNO consisted of wine and jewelry making. I made two very pretty necklaces using homemade beads and
stringing them by hand. I also
drank a lot of wine. So, there’s
that… The evening was a workshop
where we were shown how to make clay-beaded necklaces that would, per Tanith
Smith-the owner, retail for around $30 per piece and the workshop and wine only
cost $20. The workshop, held at
Studio G in the center of town, runs for two hours (scheduled for 7-9) but
since we had a lower turnout we stayed an extra hour and made an extra piece of
jewelry. Tanith brought wine for
the girls and also welcomed people bringing their own. Although another GNO is not currently
scheduled, one is in the works so I’d encourage people to keep a lookout and
plan around this neat night out.
In
the meantime, Artscapade is also hosting a workshop this Friday night from 7-9
for kids 10 and up. This will be a
screen-printing workshop. Finally,
there is a mini-camp the last week of July from Monday to Thursday 10-11:30 for
$50 (6 spots left).

Sometimes, you’ve got to be a hot mama!
