Treasure Coast Decorative Painters Weekend Seminar/Class

We, Pampered Palette, were on the road again this weekend promoting decorative painting. This weekend's class took us to the Treasure Coast Decorative Painters Chapter located in Port St Lucie, Florida. We had a great time as we introduced many of the members to the Traditions Acrylics and the Fusion Blending technique. All the members had a great time painting and learning the new technique. In fact, everyone was very excited that they ended the day and was able to leave the class with finished pieces. The pattern is a David Vernon design/pattern packet (that is me) - nothing like some strawberries and daisies........You have got to love it.

Again, our trip to Florida was to promote decorative painting, introduce the Traditions paints and a new technique to the chapter members. It was a fantastic time. We painted, we laughed, we painted, we ate and then we painted. The chapter members set up a great lunch of all homemade goodies. It was a meal for Kinds and Queens. Absolutely fantastic! We would like to thank our friends at Treasure Coast Decorative Painters for making this event outstanding. Hopefully we will see them all again real soon. We are attaching some photos of the event. Take a look at the pictures, everyone did an outstanding job.

David Vernon is available to all chapters for classes and seminars. Learn and use new techniques, paints, and brushes as you build on your knowledge base and promote decorative painting.

Happy New Year

Last year (2011) was our BIGGEST year so far. We have grown by leaps and bounds. What will 2012 hold for us and the decorative art community?

Well this morning we announced another great seminar for Pampered Palette for the 2012 seminar season. We are hosting Michele Walton in October (13 & 14).

I do not know if many of you have noticed but we are always full of surprises. So here is another fantastic seminar added to our list. My gosh what can I say. Just since November 2011 removed one product line and added DecoArt Americana, DecoArt Traditions, JoSonja paint lines, Maureen McNaughton's complete product line, JW Varnish product line, Scharff Quality Brush line, new books, new patterns, new surfaces, new seminars and there is more to come. These new products were added after 3 years of requests coming from our customers. We are a studio for the decorative painting community and our customers so we are here for you not a particular product line.

Wait until you see us at the SDP Conference. We will be full of surprises there. Are you attending the SDP Conference? Be sure to stop by our booths there will be lots going on there with, of course, surprises. We are just busting at our seams with news but we cannot tell you guys everything at one time.

2012 SDP Conference Cyberspace Class

You know we are only months away from the SDP Conference, are you going?

We know not everyone will be able to attend but it is a great time to support your National organization (SDP) in some way. Maybe you need to join SDP or renew your membership or better yet, reach out across industries to friends whether they paint, do ceramics, scrapbook, quilt, cake decorate or any other craft/art area. Invite them to attend the SDP Conference or join the organization. Let's build our industry back and increase our numbers by all of us joining together to promote decorative painting. What a great time to come together and build a better, larger, stronger SDP and industry. Let's be all inclusive.

If you are coming to the Conference, then you should attend one of the events that just happens to be sponsored by Pampered Palette. The Conquer Your Fear of Flying in Cyberspace event (page 17 in the Conference Class Catalog) which is scheduled Wednesday, May 16, 2012 from 1-5 pm. Join Mary Kingslan Giblisco, CDA, Dawn Knowles and myself (David Vernon) as we guide you through many aspects of using a computer, IPAD, IPHONE or any other web enabled device to access online classes and use social networking like Facebook, LinkedIn, Ning, Twitter, and blogs. Ever wondered how to use PayPal or Skype? Well that will be covered as well. Join us and be sure to bring your questions.

As the sponsor of this event, Pampered Palette will provide one IPAD giveaway for one of our lucky class registrants. If you are coming to the SDP Conference, you do not want to miss this event. Make plans to attend.

Information concerning the Cyberspace event is available on page 17 of the Conference Class Catalog.

SDP BOARD MEMBER AT LARGE - ELECTION - VOTE!!!!!

I just thought I would let you know that I am running for the SDP Board as member at large for next year. I know this may seem a little early but I am reaching out to painting friends and chapters requesting their support. I know that I am fairly new to the industry but everything that I do and have done is to promote decorative painting, increase member numbers and try to increase our industry presence. I was asked if I would run by the nominating committee while at HOOT and I accepted as I feel that now is a perfect time to work with our chapters and members to build a bigger, stronger, and more responsive SDP. If we all work together, then we can definitely make a difference. I will be representing the members, chapters and other painting friends if I am elected. I will use my years of experience (over 40) in business, marketing and Human Resources management to help bring about change throughout SDP. It is time for a new, bigger, stronger and better SDP, I think.

The voting, as you know, will be at next year's 2012 SDP Conference however, for those members that cannot attend the conference, there is an absentee ballot process where non-attending members can vote making their voices heard.

Hopefully, I can count on your vote and support. I think it is time that our members are heard and my intention is to work very hard on their behalf.

Our trip to the SDP Conference (May 2011) was really quite eventful this year as we met many people, exchanged ideas, took some classes and of course mingled.  We thought we could share some pictures of our trip.

We were even able to take one of David's classes (Rosemaling).  We could not take another class due to having to set up our booths, not enough time. Hopefully next year we will be use to the drive from Virginia to Kansas.
