Design: Paint Chip Invitations

In our old house, there lived a paint spot on the ceiling that appeared to be in the shape of Hawaii. How did it get there? My husband, who cannot stand painting, missed a spot where the wall meets the ceiling. I suggested that he get the ladder out, climb the ladder, tape the ceiling, and delicately fix the spot. Instead, he decided to test his vertical jumping skills by leaping up with the paint brush in his hand to fix the spot. The result, a taupe colored paint mishap in the shape of Hawaii on the white ceiling. Even worse, it stayed like that for three years.

If you have a similar mishap, it might be time to do one of the following:
1. pretend it was deliberate by painting more states on the ceiling,
2. hire someone to repaint for you, or
3. bribe your friends to help you repaint by offering them pizza and drinks

If you selected option #3, these custom designed Paint Chip Invitations are a creative way to invite your friends to your house painting party.

THE TAKE AWAY: Friends don’t let friends live with sloppy paint jobs. So, if I invite you to a paint party, please, please help us out.
