Painting parasols?

[LCBride2007]

THere she goes again cheating on us.. Ann your not allowed on that "other" site.. It's a bad word around here.. LOL (just kidding to all the knotties, I'm on there from time to time as well, but shhh don't tell Ann)

[LCBride2007]

i heard that! i read that a long time ago - i was probably out of posts on here to read, and had to find somewhere else to go to entertain myself!

[TammyB]

Excuses, excuses.. Is that the story your sticking too? lol

[LCBride2007]

Yep.

has anyone actually tried painting these yet. I have them in my shopping cart on oriental trading. I was thinking of maybe just painting a "D" for our last name on them, using a calligraphy stencil of course. Or just leaving them white, but I'd like to add a little color.

I was thinking of either painting some of them blush pink and some chocolate (girls and boys and the colors of our wedding) or personalizing them with things like "Mother of the Bride,"Mother of the Groom", etc. I just need a final headcount before I start ordering them.
