Heather is great! You definitely don't need to be an artist to attend her parties. She takes you through the painting, step by step, and you end up with a gorgeous piece at the end. Another plus is that Heather is an actual artist and can help you fix mistakes you may make and she creates her own paintings so you have your own unique creation at the end. They are great for a girls' night out or with your honey. My husband and I currently have two elephants hanging on our wall with their trunks shaped into one heart, very cute!
