giggles, and the three week countdown!

You guys, the above blooper reel from my upcoming painting ecourse might be the funniest thing I've seen all year. If you're in need of a giggle yourself, watch and giggle. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

You know how when you have a giggle attack, you have to concentrate really hard not to laugh. That would be us, not even able to look at each other. This went on for about 30 entire minutes. I haven't laughed that hard in so long. So grateful we were able to catch it on tape.


Friends, we're on the three week countdown to my painting e-course! I can hardly believe it, and I can hardly wait. Excitement is building!

I thought I'd share a couple of the behind the scenes photos with you from the video shoot:


This was our "set" - lights, camera, action! It was so fun seeing the studio transform. So much heart and love and good ol' fashion hard work went into the entire thing. A total team effort. And totally worth it. 

That's Kevin, our videographer. He hooked us up with two HD camera views (wide angel and close up) for this love project. He also helped keep our energy up and our vision focused. Oh yes, he was also our lighting guy, our sound guy, our techie guy. Whew! 



A little love note to myself to stay centered through it all. We filmed for three entire days, and I learned so much. SO MUCH. I really want to do more of this sort of thing!



Class starts in three weeks. Come paint, laugh, and learn with me, friends! There is still time to join the installment plan, too.

Head on over here for all the details, but first, watch our lovely lovely e-course trailer (it itself was a love project!):






"I am SO EXCITED about your class! I bought more supplies yesterday - actually I think I could have purchased half the store! Your passion and purpose absolutely radiate from your art!"
