Updated 11/26/13 Announcing our HOLIDAY BIG EVENT! Creative Countdown to the New Year 12 Days of Creating with The Creative Coach It’s our HOLIDAY BIG EVENT!!!  Hold onto your hats, this is going to blow you away.  It is the perfect way to wrap up the 2013 painting season and enter the New Year painting new projects.  It is our way of saying thank you to our followers and give something special back.  You are familiar with countdown activities where you open a “gift” each day of the countdown.  Our countdown works in a similar manner.  Starting December7th large priority envelopes will be mailed with 12 sealed envelopes inside.  Each envelope contains a pattern/instructions, color photo AND THE SURFACE OR KIT.  There are even some codes for helpful videos.  All the projects are NEW and have never been published.  They are all holiday projects so crafters will love having these for next year.  Each day starting December 12th and ending December23rd. You can open the day’s envelope.  There will be additional information about the projects, extra photos and tips on our special blog set-up just for you.  NOTE: Don’t worry if you can’t make a commitment to participate each day or at all on those dates.  You will be able to work at your own pace in the future and the blog and extra materials will be there for you for up to one year.  That gives you plenty of time to paint.  All the videos and extras will also stay up for a year also.  If you are not into videos, you don’t have to worry; you are getting all the printed materials, photos and surfaces for each project in the envelope.  So if you are too busy now, don’t worry you can start when your schedule permits.  If you are overanxious there is nothing I can do from stopping you from ripping into each envelope ahead of time!!!! It is easy to participate: 1.       Register online or give us a call to register.   The registration fee is just $75 which includes US priority shipping.  The retail value is $125.  Canadian registration is $90 due to higher priority shipping costs. 2.       Starting December 7th priority envelopes will be mailed to participants with the goodies.  You will be given written instructions, addresses and codes for getting additional online materials in your packets. 3.       To participate during the “live” event, open your envelopes in numerical order.  One per day.  If you are not participating each day, you can join in anytime during or after the live event.  You will be able to open any of the days in any order after the entire live event is done.  Online materials will go up in order, each morning at 8 am CST.  Once they are up, they will remain available for one year.  4.       Participate on our special event blog.  Share with other painters and make it festive.  Have fun and put a smile in your brush each and every day.  There will even be some prizes for participants. So join us for this holiday event that will be unprecedented!  Packages will ship in the order they are received, so order early and get your materials first.  Remember you even get the surfaces!  Happy Holidays…Laurie Click here to sign-up... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Three NEW PATTERNS... $7.00 Each Includes photo, instructions and linework Musical Hoots Santa's Moonlight Ride Snow Graffiti Click here to check them out... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
