Rock Party 2014 Coming up Soon!

Just wanted to add another note about our upcoming Rock Party for 2014. We are busy getting all fun stuff together for our Hillbillie Rock Painting Get Together! June 13 - 14, 2014. It is coming up fast! We do not have any idea how many rock painters we will have. Unfortunately, some rock painters from previous years cannot come but we would like to have an
idea for sure who might be coming!

We will probably have 2 projects to work on as well as any projects that someone might have, especially after 'picking rocks' on Friday at the Little Buffalo. We will try to gather enough rocks so that those who cannot go 'picking' might still have a few rocks to paint on!

Don't forget to bring pictures of your rocks or rocks you have to 'show off' to all. We love new ideas and inspiration!

The fee is still $10 each rock painter and for those who want to 'tag along' for the fun of it, only $5. We will have goodie bags for the painters. Hopefully, everyone will bring a finger food snack to share and maybe a bottle of water or two for all to nibble on while we paint! And, don't forget, T.Joe and son, son-in-law, or friend(s) will grill hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch on Saturday!

I'm hoping that our weather will cooperate and give us a nice sunny, but not too hot weekend to gather! We are planning to have an extension to the front of the shop in case we have an overflow of rock painters so no one will have to be 'out in the sun or weather' while we all paint!

We look forward to seeing all who are interested in painting rocks! See you soon!

Quilting

Well....I started out with the 2014 Rock Party but did not mention WHEN?  June 13 - 14, 2014 at Dees' Dream in Golden, Missouri.  The agenda is pretty much the same as years before.  Friday morning, we will meet Lin Wellford in Green Forest and follow her to Jasper to 'pick' rocks for an hour or two, depending on the weather, and then go to the Jasper Ozark Cafe for a light lunch and then back to Dees' Dream to start painting on our new found rocks!  We will paint, nibble on finger foods that everyone brings to share, and come back on Saturday to paint and visit and nibble again.  T.Joe, with help from son, son-in-law, or friends, grill dogs and burgers on the grill for lunch and we will visit and paint some more! 

If you will click on labels, you will find places to stay in Golden, Eagle Rock, Eureka Springs, Branson, etc.  Of course, I don't have all the options listed, but Google will have them. 

Be sure to bring pictures of your painted rocks, or if you still have the rocks, bring them to show.  We all enjoy new ideas and inspiration!  Lin Wellford will be bringing a new project for us all to participate in.

We are hoping for nice weather but we will do our best to have it comfortable in the 'studio'.  We have an extension to add to the front of the shop if we need more table space for new painters! 

Be sure to leave comments if you have them...I enjoy reading them.

Will be looking forward to another FUN rock painting year!  See you in June?

Rock Party 2014

 Here it is again....time to get ready for another Rock Party at Dees' Dream in Golden, Missouri.  This will be our 15th year to have our Dees' Dream Rock Painting Party!  Amazing that we had done this for 15 years!  We have had so many friends come thru the years and are making new friends each year.  We started out with only 12 rock painters (including Lin Wellford and me) and we have had as many as 40 + (counting kids) come and paint rocks with us.  We also have tag alongs who come just to be here to enjoy the fellowship!
