Arriving in Birmingham at Tricia's house was like entering Magical Fairy Land. Walking up to the house she had this sign to welcome us. She also placed little yummy soaps on our towels in our rooms. I knew coming that my girls and I would have a wonderful time painting and baking, but I felt God's prescence was with us throughout.
Welcome to the Patisserie
When you walk into Tricia's house you immediately feel transported to a magical fairlyland.
She has bright colors, whimsical paintings, faux candy hanging from her chandeleir and a garden with a fish pond and lots of little passageways to get lost in.
For the first day of french fairyland for the girls we made:
cupcake liner flowers
Flower Tartlets
Cranberry Raspberry Spritzers in the Garden for Worship time.
The girls are awaiting their group assignments for the first exciting day!
Strawberries, kiwi, blueberries and raspberries, premade graham shells, lemon curd, fresh whipped cream and a raspberry glaze made up our little flower tartlets. (Recipes are available to upload on my new website: glitterednest.com
Tricia is showing the girls what they will be painting on their first day. A row of delicious cupcakes.
I love collecting cupcake liners so I snatched up every whimsical liner I could find for this fun camp. We originally made some to pin on our shirts but then my daughter came up with the cutest idea to glue them onto ribbon and wear them as little hats.
While one group of girls painted, the others decorated yummies with me. I loved this way of teaching the girls except I wanted to be a student in the art portion too! We had many moms say they wanted to come to camp. Maybe one day we will have an grown up version(something is already in the works!)
The girls loved making their tartlets look like little flower pastries and adding fresh whipped pink cream. This was an easy but yummy lesson to start camp off with.
Here are the girls painting their sweet cupcake canvases.
Tricia had them using acrylics, paper, gel medium and palette knives for adding texture.
Madi is working on her painting. I'll show you the girls' completed art on the third day post.
Now for worship time in the garden along with our treats and special cranberry drink:
Everyone loved these pretty pink paper straws from bakeitpretty.com.
What a beautiful and creative day full of bright colors, smiles and laughter..not to mention lots of sugar! On the second day of camp we learn how to decorate eiffel tower sugar cookies.
The ribbon garland in the back is a fun way to add color to your room for any party. Simply tie different shades of a color to a long piece of ribbon and just hang.
Second day of camp: bike paintings:
