My reviews are based on my personal experience with a product or event. I am not a professional product tester nor do I get paid for any of my blog posts.

The items that I post reviews on, have either been purchased on the internet or through a local vendor. Additionally I will review items that I got on sale, as a gift or as a sample from either the manufacurer or some other source.

Note: always read the manufacturers directions on how to properly use a product and craft carefully. Additionally, I am an Amazon Associate and may earn a few cents (literally) from your clicking on my Amazon links. Since they raised the minimum payout from earnings to $10 I haven't seen a credit for a while but eventually I will get one.

Every penny counts when trying to set a budget to get supplies to use for my reviews, tutorials and hauls. However, you do not have to use my links. You can use your favorite search engine to find the best price for your budget.

Free Plaid Facebook Live Paint Class Link for July 2018

If you have every wanted to attend one of those fun painting party, paint and sip, girls night out painting events or just plain paint, then you are going to love the free live painting class being hosted by Plaid on their facebook feed at 
http://bit.ly/2u63N4V.  

The theme is Learn to Paint: ‘Serene Summer’ a Live Stream Paint Along.  It is hosted by Plaid Crafts on:    Thursday, July 12, 2018 at 7:30 pm Eastern (4:30 pm Pacific time).

You may already have some of these colors for this month's theme.  The list of suggested supplies is:

FolkArt ® Acrylic Colors - Parchment, 2 oz.
FolkArt ® Acrylic Colors - Titanium White, 2 oz.
FolkArt ® Acrylic Colors - Aqua, 2 oz.
FolkArt ® Acrylic Colors - Calypso Sky, 2 oz.
FolkArt ® Acrylic Colors - Ocean View, 2 oz.
Mod Podge ® Gloss, 8 oz.
Folkart ® Brush Set - Artist Variety Set, 10 pc.
Folkart ® Brush Set - Basecoating Set, 2 pc. 
and a surface to paint on.
The costs of the supplies is around $30 but if you already have some of them then it is less. However, I think this is a great deal.  I have paid $45 for a painting class and that amount only paid for the class and not the supplies.  So a $30 investment for my daughter and I do to the painting class is a great deal.  

Below is what Plaid has posted on their Facebook page:

Anyway, this month they are doing something new, by incorporating sand and seashells into the project.  I don't have a lot of table space in my house so I have to limit the display items I have.  I am loving that this is a painting and I can hang it on the wall.   I think it will be fun to display it on my wall to bring a little of the beach into the home.  By the way, if you end up painting the project, don't forget to use the hashtag #PaintWithPlaid so that they can see what everyone has created.
