Dear Family, Friends, Readers & Audience that came from near & far,
Thank you all ever so much for coming to watch me present at the Home & Remodeling Show yesterday. I had a great time sharing Blue Egg Brown Nest with all of you & hope you learned something from the chalk painting & creative business tips I gave.
The overwhelming support started in the morning with this little Matisse.
I call it: “Nest with 3 Blue Eggs on a Tree Branch with Green Grass”. Train them up in the way they should go…
Thanks Ty & Shannon for the extra marketing materials for the cars!!
DH at the loading dock ready to bring out the pieces that I brought for the chalk paint demo.
Arriving! 3 coffees deep at this point.
Sweet Stephanie that runs the whole darn show. I hope she’s home taking a long winter’s nap right now!
My dear parents got there about 3 hours early to help out!
You’ve heard me mention my dear dad that is also the jewelry designer.
Getting ready backstage.
Yes, Power Point, microphone and slide clicker-thing. And you thought I was just a mommy.
I don’t know about you, but public speaking is not exactly my cup of tea. I was pleased to present, but am breathing a sigh of relief today! In fact, we are all still in our pjs
Here’s the demo, Step #1 – paint.
Step #2 – sand & clear wax.
I will be posting the video on YouTube with my other tutorial videos in case you want to review the demo. I will also be posting the steps once again since there were alot of questions.
It was so lovely meeting so many of you that have been faithful readers. I can’t thank you enough for the care & support.
xoxo,
Christen

Hello
I have a question in regarding to your last video tutorial. I am Deaf and I could not catch the name of that “sponge” that you wiped Off the dark wax. Could you please tell me what is it?
Thanks so much. It’s my first time to visit your blog. Sounds like you have a huge success on your hands!

Hi Kelly!
It’s actually steel wool. You want to use the finest steel wool you can find. A hard steel wool will scratch the piece, but the finer one will just rub off the dark wax.
Thanks!
Christen
Hi Christen…I’m sure you did a fabulous job can’t wait to view it on You Tube!! Your parents are so sweet…what we won’t do to lend a helping hand to our children!
