This week's lessons...

What a week it's been.  My new

life with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is

keeping me on my toes.  I'm working towards

hosting a mini-workshop on July 9th teaching

3 techniques.  Email me if you are interested.

The cost is $125 and includes all materials

and paint.  Just bring yourself!

Did you know that there is a Pastured

Egg and Chicken farm in Vacaville?

Check them out here...Soul Food Farm

and here on Facebook...give them a like

and tell them I sent you!

Soul Food Farm on Facebook

My task this week...to create a new roadside sign

for this fascinating farm.

A little about Soul Food Farm:

"Our methods have been recognized with the

Animal Welfare Approved seal, the first

broiler chicken operation in California - and

only the second in the nation - to meet these

stringent third party-verified standards."  

How can you not love this operation?

Here is the sign, in the making...

drying...

And now onto this week's lessons.

Things I've learned.

1. Annie Sloan Chalk Paint can help whip out 

a sign in 3 days due to it's fast drying time.

2. Polyurethane on top of Annie Sloan Chalk

Paint goes on smoothly, no bleeding.

3. You can leave your brush overnight

saturated with chalk paint and I swear 

it will still wash right out.

4. Drops of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

on your clothes rinse right out.  This

means you can look hot while painting. (giggle)

5.  If you accidentally leave the lid

off of your pot (ahem...not me, of course, 

I'm talking about YOU!)...since Annie Sloan

Chalk Paint contains absolutely

no plastic whatsoever, it will just thicken

and you can add water to get it back

to exactly where it was before you forgot

and left it to the air.  

GOTTA LOVE IT!

I'm meeting with the owner of one of my 

favorite shops in greater Sacramento on Friday

and looking forward to a possible new venture.

Stay tuned!
