Were you one of those lucky girls that was chosen first for games in P.E.? Or even second or third? Or twenty-second in a class of thirty? Insert Patti frowny face here because I was NOT. On the bright side, I wasn’t usually the last either, only second or third to the last. “Bashtiful Patti,” the neighbor man’s name for me, wasn’t very assertive so I was never a top pick for competitive sports. Now, if we’d had to choose teams for art class . . . well . . . I wouldn’t have been top pick for that team either but I would’ve been closer to the top for sure! Awww . . . the traumas of childhood.
Repurposed “Jonque”
That is probably what’s behind my wanting everyone to be a winner of the Farragoz Giveaway I’ve been running on my blog. I’ve learned so many things in this painting course that I can now apply to my furniture painting and repurposing of “jonque” (junk looks so much better in French) that I want everyone else who is a painter of stuff to have the chance to learn what I’ve learned. But there can only be one winner . . . THIS time!
So . . . drum roll please . . . Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr . . .
The winner of the Farragoz Painting Course is JUDY!
Congratulations Judy. Farragoz will be contacting you via email today to get you started.
Repurposed “jonque”
Now . . . since I want everyone to feel special do I have a consolation prize for the rest of you? Stay tuned for my next post.
Blessings,
Congratulations to Judy. I know she will be thrilled! Patti, I love your piece that you painted, SO pretty! I love the course too and I have learned so much already! Oh, and I was a near to the last pick too, lol.
Patti, I do enjoy your posts and I usually don’t reply on blogs but wanted to tell you that I appreciate and enjoy your “from the heart” posts. You are a very talented decorator and I’m enjoying your getting used to the South. I’m originally from the Missouri Ozarks but have lived in So. California for over 50 years. I too was very bashful and also little so was at the end of the line when it came to being chosen for games at school BUT aren’t we glad that all of those inadequacies (sp?) don’t continue to haunt us forever. God has used the hurts and loneliness of childhood to develop creative talents that I would never have had otherwise. I really enjoy your painted furniture and used to do some painting on recycled furniture too but now at 84 I just enjoy looking and reading about it. God bless you and your husband in your outreach to others for Christ.
Congratulations to JUDY AKERS!!! Welcome to the FARRAGOZ Online Course! I am look forward to tutoring you and hope you will have lots of fun with this course and be inspired to create beyond your wildest dreams!
