Remember how awesome ceramic painting birthday parties were?
Of course you do.
Because they were the best.
The absolute best.
1. The rush of pulling up to the party place.
2. Your entire first grade class was invited because whatever.
3. None of this.
4. BYOS (bring your own smock).
5. You either sculpted the thing yourself.
6. Or the world was your blank unicorn ceramic.
7. You got to choose your own colors.
8. ~Experimentation~ was key when mixing paints.
9. And even when you ended up with swamp color, everything was still OK.
10. Things got messy.
11. But when the pizza came, you were still down despite your paint-smeared hands.
12. PURP DRANK.
13. The dance portion was always fun.
14. The music selection was exceptional.
Crowd favorites included that "Hands Up, Baby Hands Up" song.

Will we ever find out who let the dogs out??
15. At the party's end, not only did you get to leave with the fruits of your labor.
16. But you also got to leave with party favors.
17. PARTY FAVORS.
18. And no matter what you made...
It would sit in your childhood bedroom for the next two decades...
And serve as a constant reminder of how amazing the craft birthday parties of yore were.
And one more Bob Ross gif for good measure.
