Sometimes you've just got to paint by numbers..

A few weeks ago, my {not so} creative juices began to flow.

I was inspired by the paint gods to create a masterpiece.

And I knew it could only be one thing that would allow me to do just that:

Paint By Numbers.

I told V Dizzle my dreams and we looked high and low, but to my dismay,

Paint By Numbers was no where to be found.

My hopes and dreams were crushed. But like most things I get excited about on a whim, 

I quickly forgot about this quest by the next day.

...

Fast forward to my birthday weekend and The Dizzle surprises me with not one, not two, but three Paint By Numbers sets: Pandas, Fish, and a Horse. 

I mean, come on now. Could it get any better than that?

And let me tell you, getting back on that Sober Saddle opens up a lot of free time. 

And I mean, a lot.

So what could be better than to bust out these gems in our times of need? Not much, I say.

{I told V Dizz he could have the Horse set. Because it was the ugliest. You're welcome, Boo.}

...

About an hour passes of quiet concentration on our masterpieces when I could tell our focus was starting to falter.

These sets give an age of 8 and up, but....umm, what?! I'm pretty sure even Thomas Kinkade would've been given a run for his money on this thing.

It is dang hard filling in those little spaces.

And then they expect you to mix the number 2 paint with the number 10 and come out with the perfect color combination for the panda's fur?

Oh no, sir. I'm not that talented.

The panda started to look yellow. Very yellow. And last I checked, yellow wasn't one of their colors.

...

So this was as far as I got before The Office consumed all of my attention and I had to put the paint brush down.

...

Maybe tomorrow night I'll try to tackle this advanced activity.
