Today went great. I taped another segment for the Sheryl Bordon show. She is so great to work with and always knows the best questions to ask.
I demonstrated how to paint stripes without measuring. Usually painting stripes can take some time when you have to measure and tape everything out. But with my variegated stripes [...]

I just read an article and there is a guy who calls himself a “paint nerd.” I had to laugh but I know there is one for everything just like there’s a magazine for everything. this guy says, “It’s fun to watch paint dry.”
