My husband and I were cramming today to finish our bathroom for a photo shoot tomorrow for some freelance HGTV.com projects. My, oh my, has time been tight this summer! Things keep piling on and it’s been stressful, but we’re almost through the busiest part. So, Haven has really been sneaking up on me. I’ve maybe been in denial that it’s right around the corner. And that I’m teaching a workshop and need to prepare for it! Maybe I’m confessing too much? Well, Shaunna and I got our act together and have a great Advanced Painting Workshop planned. Last year, we reviewed different paint types, techniques, tools, our favorite tricks, etc. This year, we’re going to teach a hand’s on workshop, showcasing three advanced paint finishes. I love that we’re all going to get to play with paint.
One thing that we will be repeating is our “Best Worst Paint Clothes Contest.” I know that everyone always frets about what to wear to blog conferences, so Shaunna and I thought we would make it easy for those attending our class. Wear your very best worst paint clothes and the best worst one wins!
Some of the outfits from last year cracked me up. The girl who won wore a tie-died jumpsuit that look like a moth buffet. It was a riot. My pants were so sketchy that I was nervous about hooking my microphone battery pack to it, because I was certain the weight of it would take them down. It was great fun. So, if you’re coming to Haven and plan to attend our class, bring along your best worst paint clothes and sport them for our workshop.
We’ll be giving away a nice prize package in each workshop including a Miss Mustard Seed tee…
…a copy of my book…
…and Shuanna is bringing some goodies from her shop like a Perfectly Imperfect tee, some books, paint, etc. It’ll be worth the strange looks received in the hotel lobby. So, along with your statement necklaces and cute shoes, throw in some comfy clothes to show us how messy you are when you paint.
I can’t wait to see everyone there!
