Hello everyone!

March 27, 2015

It's Cheryl here from Your Decorative Painting Resource.

Have you ever found something that you had completely forgotten about? You know the stuff from years ago that just went "POOF!" right out of your mind?

And now, here it is and you say: "Wow! This is so cool! What a surprise."

Well I've been sorting through the studio, leafing through old note books and sketch pads. I do that sometimes. This time I came across a big binder with some old sketches I'd worked on years ago! And what did I find? A treasure trove of surprises!

I could hardly believe my eyes. I discovered designs for teddy bears, dragons, Tuscan faux finishes, florals and on and on it goes. So what will I do with this stuff? Stay tuned as the lost secrets of the studio are revealed.

What's your favorite subject matter to paint? What do you like to paint on? I love painting on all kinds of surfaces. If it's not moving, I can paint it!

In last week's newsletter, I asked you to tell me about your first painting lesson. I asked and boy oh boy... you certainly delivered. I got some amazing responses. And I thank you all for sharing and being so generous. It was so much fun, but one story in particular really tickled me and had me and my husband laughing out loud.

It was from Wanda who wrote:

Oh my goodness, I think it was back about the time the wheel was discovered...

- Wanda

Well done Wanda. "...scare away the vermin!!" Now that was funny. Thanks for giving us a chuckle.

So what about you? Keep your stories coming by hitting "reply" right now. Tell me about your first painting lesson or any other fun or crazy painting experience you've ever had. I'm always up for a good story.

Do you like daisies? I love painting daisies, and other flowers too. I created this little project a few years ago and I think it's very adorable. Visit my Earmark Studio website and check out the free step-by-step instructions for painting this wooden scissors holder. It's a fun project. And you've go to admit... the price is right.

That's it until next week.

Talk soon,
