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 Painting Class and Discount Code on their Live Facebook Feed

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 page feed. 


The theme is Learn to Paint: ‘Peace, Love & Avocado's’ a Live Stream Paint Along.  It is hosted by Plaid Crafts on:    Thursday, August 2, 2018 at 7:30 pm Eastern (4:30 pm Pacific time).  The limited time discount code is:  PWPAUGUST2018 for 30% off (check website for  any limitations).

You may already have some of these colors for this month's theme.  The list of suggested Folk Art Paints can be found on the Plaid website .

In addition, you may need some of the following

  • Grid avocado pattern
  • 12" x 12" stretched canvas ( I am painting this on wood)
  • Palette
  • Water basin
  • Paper towels
  • Stencil tape
  • Hair dryer (optional).

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 for me a less than $30 (I already own some of the paint colors)  investment for my daughter and I do to the painting class is a great deal.
