Become an Escape Artist

Reality as a mommy seems to be devoting 99 percent of your time to please everyone else. If we forget to take time for ourselves, we can quickly burn out. That is why Patch.com encourages you to take time for an escape from reality and do something for you.

How many times do you find yourself helping with your child's homework only to realize how long it has been since you have done something creative? This week's Great Escape offers you a chance to create your own piece of art and fun memories while you are at it.

Just for Giggles in Milton is a studio where you can gather with friends or go alone to create a piece of art that is all your own. For about $30 to $35, you get step-by-step instructions from an artist to create a themed painting on a canvas. Whether going alone or making it a girls night out, you can bring snacks and beverages to enjoy while making art and making friendships. At the end of the class, you will be able to take the canvas home to enjoy your creativity and memories of some fun "me" time. 

Just go here to register. Each class time features a specific style or themed painting. Click on the particular painting and date you like and register for your time to escape.
