STUDIO REOPENING Next Saturday!
So excited for our first studio Paint Party since lockdown! Woohoo! 🎉🎨😍
It all kicks off again next Saturday 11 July with Painter's Choice, where you get to choose what you'd like me to teach you how to paint. Only 2 seats left if you want to join me to create your own painting. Loads of our favourites to choose from. It's gonna be super fun.
Saturday 25 July we'll be painting Tui-Tastic in the studio.
Or you can join me online, Saturday 18 July for my Virtual Paint Party, and learn to paint Oriental Bay from the comfort home.
If you've always wanted to learn to paint, jump over to my website to find out how I can help you create your own masterpiece. 🎨+🖌=😍
Paint with you soon.

Poll: Have you kept trinkets from your life?
Many of us are sentimental about our childhoods and lives, and some even collect things to remember moments or people.
Share what you've held on to over the years and whether you still have it today. Feel free to share photos too, we'd love to see.

Poll: Do you believe in ghosts?
Just for a little bit of fun, we'd love to know whether Kiwis believe in ghosts. What goes on in our communities that we don't know about!
Perhaps you've seen a ghost or lived in a haunted home in New Zealand. We'd love to know, so vote in our poll and share your experiences in the comments below.

Deirdre’s Cheese Puffs
Deirdre loves cooking and enjoys teaching kids about food - something she does three times at week at the Busy Bees Kindergarten in Havelock North. We spoke to her while she whipped up a batch of cheese puffs in her townhouse at James Wattie Village.
Watch her journey of teaching, retirement and still working. Plus, we’ve included the recipe to her cheese puffs which were gobbled up by our camera crew because they’re delicious!
