2017 Rock Painting Party - Golden MO  Dees Dream

Hoppin' and Rockin' !

May 23, 2017

Just an update to let you know that we are anticipating a fun filled weekend of rock painting!  Hope that you can join us!

I've printed out lots of photos of frogs for resources to paint by! 

We will be leaving Golden Friday Morning (June 9th) to go to Jasper Arkansas to 'pick rocks' for a couple of hours and then to the Jasper Ozark Café for a light lunch and then back to Golden to start painting our rock finds!  We do encourage everyone attending to pack some finger snacks to nibble on and some water or soda to enjoy while we are painting.  We will begin again Saturday morning to paint to our heart's content and enjoy burgers and dogs for lunch provided by the Dees!  Hope to see you then!

If you have questions, you can get us at 417-271-4281 or 417-230-4880 or 479-426-0679.  Our address is 22325 W Mockingbird Drive, Golden, MO  65658.  Rockin' On! Wandra

Rock Party Reminder Card

Rock Painting Party 2012

It's almost Rock Pickin' AND Rock Painting Together Time!

The dates are June 8th and 9th....Friday and Saturday,, 2012, Dees' Dream, Golden Missouri.  We are working day and night trying to get everything ready!  T.Joe has worked for almost a week designing and constructing a nice 'New York Boardwalk to walk between the 'Studio' and the house.  I will post a picture as soon as I get this note written. 

 It is WONDERFUL that I am retired as well as T.Joe this year....and am having fun getting all the goodies together!  We are expecting lots of new rock painters this year...plus those who have been here many times!  We are sad to say some of those who have been with us for several years will not attend this year.  

This year's theme is 'Creativity Rocks....Pass It On!"  So, we are striving to do just that....Pass It On!  Hoping to see you soon!  Rockin' On!

Rock party 2012

Just wanted to update on the 2012 Rock party news. Nothing new other than we did get some new Patio Paints today along with more new brushes. Still working on 2012 patches to go in the goodie bags and more goodies to share. We keep handing out more Rock Party cards to share with anyone to help remind them of the upcoming dates and the invite to join us. We are looking forward to visiting with friends returning and new friends who will join us for their first time painting rocks.

Rockin' On! Hope to see you soon! Wandra and T.Joe

4) Bring a chair so you can take a break if needed.
5) We will only spend about 1 1/2 to 2 hours pickin' rocks.
6) Bring a camera if you want to get some pictures of the awesome landscape.
