If you’re the one stuck planning the work holiday party this year… this is for you!

Let’s be honest, planning something that EVERYONE on your team can actually attend and enjoy isn’t easy.

Especially when you’ve got people working remotely, parents who need to get home to their kids, and people who just aren’t interested in another happy hour.

Well, last night I taught a virtual holiday paint night for a company that decided to do things a little differently, and I LOVED it!

Over 40 people joined from their own homes, with all their painting supplies delivered ahead of time.

And one of my favorite parts is that some people even had their kids painting right alongside them! ❤️

No painting experience needed. No one had to leave the house. And everyone got to spend time being creative together.

The company also made sure their whole team of 70+ got the recording, so anyone who couldn’t join live can still paint along whenever they have time.

We’re doing part TWO with them soon, and I can’t wait!

So if you’re planning your company’s holiday party and want something a little different, I’d love to help.

You don’t need another Christmas decoration. You need something you’ll be excited to pull out every December!

There’s something so special about decorating your home with things you’ve made yourself.

And I love the idea of creating something that becomes part of your family’s Christmas traditions year after year!

Imagine pulling out your Advent Calendar every December and remembering the year you painted it. Or watching your kids get excited to open the little drawers on Christmas morning. 🥹

That’s what I love so much about this project!

And if you’re thinking, “That’s adorable, but there’s NO WAY I could paint that,” I promise you can!

After almost 16 years of teaching people to paint, I’ve learned that you don’t need to be artistic to make something beautiful. You just need someone to show you how!

And that’s exactly what I’m doing!

Our DIY Advent Calendar Workshop is officially LIVE, and the first 10 painting tutorials are already waiting for you!

I’m adding 5 more tutorials every day through Thursday, when all 25 will be available!

So if you’ve been wanting to make something special this Christmas, I’d love to paint with you!

Imagine pulling out your Advent Calendar every December and getting to say, “I painted that!” 🥹🎄❤️

That’s one of the things I love most about making things yourself. You’re not just creating a Christmas decoration. You’re making something that can become part of your family’s holiday traditions for years to come!

And maybe one day your kids will be pulling it out with their own families. How special would that be?!

I’ve spent the last few weeks painting 25 tiny Christmas designs, and now I’m creating a step-by-step video tutorial for every single drawer so YOU can make your own!

And please don’t let the fact that there are 25 paintings intimidate you! 😂 After almost 16 years of teaching people to paint, I promise you don’t need to know how to paint to get started. That’s what I’m here for!

You can paint a few drawers at a time, make it a weekend project, or turn the whole thing into a fun family activity!

Our DIY Advent Calendar Workshop is officially open for presale, and all 25 tutorials drop November 1st!

Okay, I might officially be addicted to painting these tiny Christmas drawers!!

I’m turning a wooden Advent Calendar into 25 tiny paintings, and I’m creating step-by-step tutorials so YOU can make your own, even if you’re a complete beginner.

And we’re planning a special LIVE virtual kickoff so we can start painting our calendars together!

The workshop presale is coming soon (because apparently 25 tiny paintings take longer than I thought 😂), but the waitlist is OPEN!

🎄 Comment ADVENT to get on the waitlist and be first to know when presale opens!

And follow along because we’ve got 24 more little Christmas projects to create together! ❤️

Today I taught a virtual paint class for a corporate team and it reminded me of something…

Nothing really replaces being together in person.

The original Paint Bar nights will always feel special to me. The energy, the chaos, everyone painting side by side… there’s honestly nothing like it.

But there’s also something really nice about people slowing down at home, logging on from different places, and still creating something together.

And after all these years, I think that’s the part I care about most.

Not perfect paintings.
Not fancy supplies.
Just people making time to be creative again.

That’s exactly why I keep making tutorials people can do at home.

If you’ve been craving a little creative escape lately, my spring paintings are live 🌷

Comment SPRING and I’ll send them to you.
