Bonjour Mes Amis!
Hope you are having a great week so far!
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by the Creative Marketing Director of DecoArt. She found me thru my Etsy shop, and wondered if I would like to be a part of their Design Team. DecoArt would send me products to try (they produce some amazing decorative paints, specialty finishes, and more), and I would create pieces for them. Some I could keep or sell in my shop if I chose, other pieces would end up as sample work in craft stores such as Michael's or Hobby Lobby, as well as appear at their trade shows.
Hmmmm, let me think about it............
Let's see, receive a bunch of products to play with, and get paid for my creations????
Yes, Yes, Yes!!!
At first I thought that this was just too good to be true, maybe this was just someone's idea of a joke??
When I discovered that it was indeed true, I let myself get excited!
I honestly thought that I would be receiving just a small bottle or jar of paint for starters.
Well, look what the UPS man delivered to me yesterday!
Wow! I could hardly believe my eyes! I was literally squealing with excitement as I opened box after box of paint. Over 3 dozen jars of their Chalky Finish Paint, decorative finishes, waxes, and more!
And dozens of little bottles of their craft paint, in a rainbow of colors!
It felt like an early Christmas here at the Chateau!
And, if that weren't enough, a huge stack of gorgeous stencils. I am in love with their amazing Frenchy stencils, I can hardly wait to try them out!
So, I am super excited, not only for all of the wonderful products, but for the chance to create for DecoArt.
To say that I am thrilled and flattered is putting it mildly!
Can't wait for my first "assignment"!
I'll be sure to share with you my creations:)
Have a great day!
