“ … Life likes to tell us it told us so.” — Sara Baume, Spill Simmer Falter Wither 

I’ll be back in Arizona soon, back to business then. But for now, I’m doing my best to remain present, focused and sitting with gratitude for all of what life hands me. It isn’t what I do, it’s how I do it. And I do it by turning it all over, letting go of expectations or any illusion of control. I know God’s got me. 🙏🏼

I feel incredibly lucky, blessed, and grateful that years of building TJ’s Paint Parties have given me the flexibility to be with my family when I’m needed most.

I’m equally grateful for every client, venue, and attendee who responded to my last-minute schedule changes with kindness, understanding, and support. Your grace during an unexpected change meant more than you know. 🙏🏼❤️

Thank you. 💜

Throwback to my early paint instructor days...

“Okay now we’re going to add a footprint to our canvas … “ … and I look over to see this! 😆

Thankfully, she’s a special friend of mine, and this cracks me up every time I see it again!

I’m thankful to Canvas Rebel for the opportunity to share this part of the TJ’s Paint Parties story. ❤️

This photo was taken by my son a few years ago while I was teaching a paint party. I don’t often have photos taken while I’m in the middle of doing what I love, which is probably why it’s always been one of my favorites. It feels real and captures me in my element.

That said… I think it might finally be time for an updated professional headshot. 😄📸

Building TJ’s Paint Parties has been a journey of creativity, growth, and a whole lot of faith. I’m grateful for the chance to reflect on that journey, and I hope you’ll take a few minutes to read the interview if you’re interested in learning a little more about the heart behind what I do.

Thank you, Canvas Rebel, for the opportunity to share about the biggest risk I’ve taken (so far?) with TJ’s Paint Parties …

“The biggest risk I’ve taken with my business was moving from New Jersey to Arizona just as TJ’s Paint Parties was finally starting to gain momentum …

When your marketing team (or person?) is killin’ it so l make it a point to leave early so I can stop in before work for a parfait and iced coffee cake latte ... AND the bus stops right in front??

Thank you, Lola!

It’s never really about the painting. It’s about sharing a laugh with your mom, trying something that feels a little scary, surprising yourself … and
making memories you’ll remember long after your painting dries.

Thank you, Allie (and Megan!) for trusting me with your first painting experience. 💜🎨

🎨 Sneak Peek! Personalized Art Kits are here… and you can order yours now! 💜

I originally started making custom art kits from photos of places and scenery, but I love the idea of personalizing them, so when my bus driver, Krystal, asked if a custom kit could also mean a person’s photo … yes, of course! (or your pet!).

So I created the very first of TJPP’s Custom Art Kits for her. 🤗 Seeing her reaction reminded me why I love creating art experiences. 💜

Now you can send me your favorite photo of:
- Your pet
- Someone you love
- A special place
- A favorite memory

…and I’ll turn it into a personalized painting experience made just for you.

* Introductory price: $39 through August 1

The official launch is coming soon, but orders are open now while I finish adding everything to my website.

Who would you paint first? 🎨💜
