We used to have to go in person to everything Um, and I did I went to a lot of classes and a lot of um Conventions and things and took classes when I could but the thing is uh, the more teachers you take from as well the better Guidance you'll have you'll find that certain teachers do things a better way for you than other teachers um You know and also not everyone's a teacher they can create this but they don't know how to tell you to paint it So you'll find out a lot of things about the whole thing the whole process um So I wanted to share that with you as well as um On the 21st I am going to be teaching the uh, I don't have it here Up so easy I Sorry about that. You should have turned off my This one I'm gonna be teaching this on And it's let's go to that too. It's another Facebook page and I guess it's a group It's easy to join you just click like you even like it or you just Join it, but let's say Okay, so let's go back to Facebook and I'm gonna go up here again And I'm gonna go to creative wait See or EIT Innovations in painting there it is creative innovations group So here's the latest post. So here's my little thing It's Debbie Cole posted this to toll painters unite To share that we're gonna have the class now I recorded the class Um, and I sent it to her and this is all new to me um So I'm not sure how we're gonna do it.

So I did and We're doing classes and she has um She's done different people post their projects what they're painting And but she's also offering look how cute that is oh MJ the colors like the teal and the purple wow Um, but it gives you access to other painters to the community so that you can um Paint what you want and go where see covered distributing is on here chris puts posts on here So it's just access to um The painting world that I never had like painting rocks That I never had as a decorative painter that you guys can take advantage of if you want to So and I always I google everything and I you know, I do my homework too. Don't just Uh click things really nilly, but I think the reason it's private is because she doesn't want it to be Anything but painting and happiness, you know because social media has become such a uh It can be anyway. There can be drama. So of course I mean my crafting channel is called my surrounding crafts. I never want to contribute in any way to negativity or drama so um, I wouldn't steer you wrong Um, so that's it for today.
