This is what I love to see, while I enjoy the Friday videos, they seem like too much going on at once! I hope you can tell I don’t want it to sound critical! Just this is my preferred type of video! This technique is amazingly beautiful!
I understand that, just please know that this video took 40 + hours to film and edit, I posted it last night at 4 am, then slept for two hours and it off to the shop. I make the live videos not to replace this type of video, but to connect with you more because the lives don't require all of the time and work. Happy New Year Alice.
You are so amazing! I love all your videos! Thank you, thank you, thank you for being such an inspiration to me. 🤗🤗🤗
I was also wondering who is the background music artist? I must have that too while I’m painting my projects!😀
@@cherisutton2621 I love the music too!!
Beautiful technique💙, heartfelt story💗, and as always, the video is perfection💫!!
Now rest😊
Debi, I totally get it! There are not enough hours in the day to do all the things😭
I'll see you and Danielle in the next member's live😉
And FYI ... thank you for DIY Clay Based Paint🥰... I can't use anything else... other paints make me crazy lol
I'm glad you're feeling better!! I just came back from holiday and fought a cold🤧🤒 ....
Debi's Design Diary thank you dear one! I don’t have experience with the amount of time the videos take! For an older person like me i need time to take in what you are doing but I love your creativity!
Girl, you're telling the story of many of us shop owners...friends that have stolen ideas and paint schedules, even names you used to create the vision for your store, it's a cut throat world out there...but as I continually tell my daughter we'll do it again...I moved from the Midwest to Florida and my daughter recently moved to Jacksonville, 4 hours from me, but we are again embarking on uncharted territory, 2 appointments today looking at 2 storefronts to reopen a store...I just turned 70 and have spent 35 years building my style...I'm not afraid to start over, I'm going to blow up if I don't have that creative outlet and because of your story I only use your paint and am undaunted...bring it life, we're ready for the next chapter...!!!
Milkweed Dreams I’m in Jacksonville and would love to come to your shop! Will you be doing consignment? I have furniture in one of the shops around here but they’ve really changed and there isn’t a good outlet for people like me who can’t run their own shop but paints their ❤️ out. Good luck to you!!
@@aubreye3564 Hey girl, it would be great to meet you, I'm in Lake Placid, but we don't have a store in Jax yet, still looking in the Riverside area, hopefully today we'll know more. Our store is different, check us out @One Cool Shop on FB, antiques n oddities and art...don't be skeered...lol, thanks...
Too far to come, live in Oregon. Godspeed with your endeavor. 👊🏻
I am 67 and feel the same. Wishing you and your daughter the best on this new journey. God Bless You.
@@airizarry12 We got the store today if all goes through...I'm gonna need considerably more paint Debi...lol
So you're the creator of DIY paint? Wow I'm very impressed. I see DIY paint everywhere on these arts and crafts CZcams channels. You're famous now.
You literally make me want to open a store just so I can sell your paint! You seem like the kindest person with such great moral standards.
Carole Just Carole That’s exactly what I thought too! Then I remembered I don’t have anything for a store. Haha.
I know!
I love watching you paint your furniture and tell your stories. Sometimes I cry and other times I laugh. Your videos are works of art. Love watching.
Perfectly put!!!!💞💕💞💕I TOTALLY agree!
THIS is why I stayed with YOU and diy paint-a woman and brand with high integrity-love you chicky!
I am so blessed that you did Kelly!
I have heard this story many times and every time I hear it. I see Gods hand leading you to where you are. I think of my own story and how I found you. It was worth every painted piano ❤️. Love you!
God has the best plans, you and the piano are one of my favorite blessings Jami!
Im new to your channel Jami so i havent heard your story about finding Debi. I hope you share it sometime.
I love both of you, Debi and Jami...you have really impacted my life in such a good positive way. Thank you❣❣Blessings to both of you always.
I lived that story and I was still all emotional!! Love how God put us all together
Jami, you’re the reason I found and use this wonderful paint. You two are my 💕Creative Heroes💕
Girl!!! This is just like watching a beautiful art on canvas! Remember when you were at my studio you said you can’t do that well??? But you are doing it on furniture my sweet friend!!! Your a wonderful artist!
I'm trying! You inspire me Kelly!
Powerful video, and I'm glad you stood your ground and prevailed. You've built a brand with integrity, creativity, blood, sweat, and tears. Bravissima!
I don't know why I get so emotional with your paint story videos. It's probably because my Mother also passed and the circumstances surrounding that time in my life really caused me to do what I've never done, bet on myself, reject critics, know my value. You have inspired me so so much!! Thank you for sharing!! I'm a late bloomer but I feel hope through your story.
First of all why is no one commenting on that shirt 😍😍😍.... it’s gorgeous!
I’ve put projects on hold cuz my vision is only DIY paint. If I can’t use it then I wait!!!
Jana, the sale room at Anthropologie right after Christmas is the best because of all the returns :)
Debi', I call that room the room of glory!!!! I swear I hear angels sing as I walk in 🤣😂🤣
That shirt is soooo Debi! I love anything ethnic and boho.
I love finally hearing your story about your paint. I remember first buying it through Jami Ray and then binge watching your videos to learn more about them. It would be so cool to be able to sell these also (hopefully one day 😉💕). Thanks for always being so open Debi!
we would love to have you on the DIY team LND! xoxo
Debi, I can't thank you enough for sharing this. You continue to inspire me with your stories, your creativity, your artwork, and your vision. Keep shining your light! You are an inspiration not only to me, but obviously to so many of us "creatives" out there. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and keep these videos coming!
Debi - I watch a lot of paint videos and I say this from the bottom of my heart - there are none that touch the soul the way yours do! I love DIY paint - and I love you for sharing your good times and your struggles.
There is one person that has inspired me beyond belief, motivated me in ways I didn’t even know could exist, & I’m amazed at the creativity and freedom that have began to flow through these old fingers of mine.
Debi, you are angelic, heaven-sent. Your experiences & words of wisdom have touched deep into my soul... and I thank you.
May God continue to bless you as you have blessed so many.
❤️
You are such an inspiration and an example of pursuing your dream. You are full of integrity. I wish you all the success you deserve.
You are one of the very best story tellers on CZcams! Your personality combined with you the raw truth is just magic! You are an inspiration to me and to women everywhere! Thank you so much for the greatest paint on planet earth! Without you, there wouldn’t be this amazing product! I can’t say thank you enough! This dresser is GORGEOUS btw! Each new reveal is better than the last! Keep them coming and I can’t wait to hear your next story! Thanks so very much for being you!
Debi, you are the first you tuber that I subscribed to- years ago! And this video clearly shows why! You have endured much but fought on, you are so creative, you inspire me!💕🙂
The dresser is beautiful!😉👍🏼
I'm so glad you subscribed Hannah! Happy New Year!
Oh Debi, thank you so much for sharing your story of your clay based DIY paint drama! I just love the way you work on something, then switch back to your stories and then back again to the project. You are a born storyteller. I am so glad that it all worked out for you. Someone like you deserves a few breaks in life. And now you have that nice new location (the one with the truck outside) and are selling all sorts of wonderful things and are employing lots of people. it's really the American dream.
I live in Europe and would die to have a few quarts of your clay based paint. Now I know why it's not available outside the US. But I sure wish it was!! When I watch you play around with all those great techniques using clay based paint, I am so sad that I don't have any to try. I hope one day you will come over to Europe and sell it here. One can only hope!! Love the look you achieved with DIY paint and all that water. It's just amazing. xx
Debi you are the friend everyone wishes they had. You got it going on girl. Obviously hard work and perseverance has paid off for you in ways you never imagined. Your videos are such a comfort to me I didn’t know I craved. I too love to paint and thrift. I possibly may need an intervention.😩I also love the music you weave into your stories. They add so much depth to every layer of paint you apply. Thank you for lifting spirits on a dreary day here in Ohio.🥰
I've been following you for years and I'm so happy you've been able to achieve this. I'm broke and make my own paint but will one day be able to buy yours. Keep inspiring x
Wow how do you make your own paint I never even thought that something like that is possible
Masterpiece dresser.. Masterpiece video.. Masterpiece story.. You've really struggled and came through a winner! You have great friends that care about you too it seems.. xx
I like all your videos. But I LOVE your one on one videos that tell YOUR story and provide paint tips and tutorials. You're such an inspiration for all of us...
Your commitment to your retailers is a main reason why I wanted to retail your paint. Thanks for all you do to give your retailers a good experience!!
Debi, I can't express to you how happy I am to be part of your tribe! Love this paint and your company so much. I have a dresser right now that I've been waiting for an inspiration to hit on how to paint it. Looks like I found the answer! And that green shirt looks stunning on you!! XoXo
Lol, I’m always scared when you start a piece, and it’s always beautiful !! Your stories are fantastic and inspiring. The music is everything !! Thanks for sharing💙💙
I really appreciate your humility. To me you seem very humble and that’s why I believe the blessings come to you. You deserve it. I’m a fella who is a fan and I do plan to get to painting. I’m on a tight budget these days so I ain’t got paint. However, I do have a few vintage furniture pieces that I got for free. Can’t wait to get at them. I am a flea market vendor up in Northern California. I want to star setting some furniture out and see where it goes. Thanks for being an inspiration.
Wow, I needed to hear this story years ago. I am so glad you found your niche and amazing product. You stayed true to yourself and your values.
I love this story ❤️ your a wonderful storyteller but I love hearing this one especially. So inspiring! Anything worth having doesn’t come easy. I love how you stuck to your values & stood your ground to get what you wanted. I’m blessed to be one of your retailers & I love using this paint! It truly is the best paint line out there. Great video Debi ❤️
I am so blessed to have you on the DIY team, Thank you, xoxo
Yes I agree I almost enjoy the storytelling as much as the artwork and painting
Debi, I remember that beforeI got into redoing furniture. I saw this crazy lady on CZcams that created fun & quirky things. Now, after my wife passed away I started redoing furniture I have experimented with a lot of paints. After you started DIY I had wanted to try it. I found a store in Cumming Georgia that carries. It. I love the paint and still enjoy your videos. I also love Melanie’s. Videos as well. In fact her video on painting a bench inspired me and now I am redoing a bench for a friend. Thank you Debi! I wish I had seen you all when you came to Atlanta. I am taking a paint class this weekend. I sold my first piece of furniture a couple weeks and I am redoing my house one brush stroke at a time. I love how you support your retailers. Keep the great work.
I love this story! I love how you protect us and encourage us! I love to say... we all rise together.... and we have this in your company!! Thanks for being honest, open and raw! Be blessed today!!
Integrity is a big deal to our family . Now there's one more reason to buy diy paint. Rock on, Debi!
Debi, you should be getting paid by iTunes and Shazam. You have excellent taste in music, as well as everything else. I replay your videos, find your music and then purchase it on iTunes. I can't be the only one... Have a happy and prosperous new year!
Pastiche Decor hi .... what is the name of the music? I so have to purchase too!!!! 🤗🤗
You’re not the only one 😂
I know !! it amazes me how she finds such good music.
Yes please. How’d you find the music. I NEED it in my life!
Pastiche Decor how do you find the music. I have tried and it doesn’t seem to exist???
I love your stories so much. You are my people! Getting right in there with the paint, no prep, no fuss, paint over those cobwebs!! I'm doing my entryway bench right now with apothecary and cowgirl coral and bohemian blue. And whatever I have laying around to scrape paint off. Yesterday I used a plastic kitchen spoon and a paint stirrer. Today I'm gonna sandpaper some spots and black wax. I love your products so much. I'm doing all this right in the hallway where it will sit. No pomp or circumstance...until it is finished of course. Then I will get the trumpets. 🎺👑
I love it! Your videos talk about all my personal artistic inabilities and challenges. Yet you turn them into awesome positives. It is so encouraging. Thanks
What a treat to get a longer video!! Debi, you are such a unique presence on CZcams ... so creative, and encouraging, and interesting, and vulnerable. I pray that your business continues to flourish. God’s richest blessings for you x
I’m number #1 like on this video.. let’s go people... like this video! It and Debbie are Awesome ... the dresser is beautiful too.. lol🥰😍🥳 thanks for sharing and Ms Debbie you’re beautiful inside and out! Blessings🙏🏼
What a work of art! I feel like I'm caught up in this beautiful turquoisey blue wave off a pristine white sand beach on a gloriously sunny day! That's quite a paint technique... and your story!
So glad I heard your story. You are so inspiring. Bold and brave without being intimidating. ❤
I love this story. It made my eyes swell a little and it's all because of your perseverance. The beautiful people in your circle supported you and believed in you. You have no idea how happy I am for you. In 2021, at 51 years old, my life was turned upside down and I found myself moving in with my parents. I keep a tight circle of family and friends...the people that matter to me the most...they are my rock and I shall keep pushing forward. You have shown me to keep my faith strong and belief in myself equally strong. Thank you for this. I also love your furniture piece and I can't wait to transform an antique buffet into a beautiful masterpiece using your paints.
Amazing story! I love the line about willing to do anything when you are sleeping in a sleeping bag!
Debbie 🌺 You are the most Inspiring 🌸 Positive 🌺 Beautiful Person!!! Never, Never, Never stop doing what your meant to do. You are Loved by sooo many ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Debi, I love you. I’m cracking up, your story, your story telling, is magical!
I’ve missed these videos where you are working on a piece of furniture and telling us one of your adventures in life. Not that I don’t appreciate your live Friday makeovers with your friends and I get to come along for the fun. It’s just a more one on one experience and I feel special that you are sharing it with me. You are VERY special Debi and I Love Your DIY paint!
Debi, I have to say, I sure am glad that you came along and made your paint, and brightened up the world, because, although, that chalk paint brand (we all know who it is) may have been great paint, it is boring, as far as the colors go. Your paint is beautiful and bold. It would have been a drab world without you and your paint in it. I hope someday I can buy some, but I am not there, YET!!! Your paint really is the only one I have ever wanted to try...because the colors are so vibrant.
I am sooooo grateful to have been along for the ride since 'almost' the beginning! Oh my goodness, I cannot love this paint and this company more.
yes indeed Karen it has been a wild ride and I am so grateful to go on it with you my friend!
I had heard part of your paint story and now I can fill in the blanks. Not only is your paint free from chemicals but there is an ethical business practice associated with it as well. I have been using it for a couple years now and I absolutely love it. Not only that but you have an amazing group of retailers that share their talents and techniques through CZcams and Facebook. You're retailers are such an amazing community and support each other so well I can't help but want to be a part of everything Debi's design diary DIY paint. It's refreshing to see a business owner with an ethical business model that takes care of the retailers and the customers and your paint is NOT $44 a quart. Thank you for standing strong and being persistent. ❤❤❤ You have the best paint on the market and I can't imagine using anything else. Just an FYI. I get my paint at Divine Details from Donna Sita in Maryland. Time to wax a commissioned piece. See you later today on your Live!
thank you Lisa! Donna is so wonderful, i love her!
@@DebisDesignDiaryI love her too ❤. You are so welcome. I am so grateful for you and this community.😁
God is Great. Need I say more?! I love your videos, stories and your talent Debi. You’ve changed my world. Thank you
Just watched this for the second time... yep just as good as the first time. Best story telling! Love the dresser!!
What a great story! A story of highs and lows and hanging on to a faith in your principals and your determination! Thank you for sharing and for fighting for the small businesses. I am so excited that there is a retailer in my hometown selling YOUR paint! I am excited to get to try it. I just bought one color for now, but down the road I will pick up another color. It is wonderful! Many blessings to you! Your new friend in PA!
You are a very special person. You speak the truth from the heart. I love your mad painting skills. First time viewer. Your a keeper. I learned so much from you and It sure is. Can relate to you on soooo many levels. I’m subbing to your channel. Thank you for sharing your story and talent.
I am so happy you decided to share this story. I love your videos and all your stories, your background music is amazing and I love your paint! I am slowly accumulating your entire line buying a jar or two at a time! Painting is my only release, my only decompression after juggling all the chores of mom life. Thank you!
What I admire most about you is that you live this statement..."There is enough business out there for all of us." You share credit where credit is due and work with others to help promote other painting artists and you practice ABUNDANCE rather than SCARICITY! I painted with Annie Sloan (chalk paint) paint as well...it was the most AMAZING paint.
I don’t know how many times I have watched this video. I love this story so much.
This is the story I was waiting to hear. So happy to see you didn’t give up on your dream.
I just discovered you, and you have touched me so deeply. I don’t know why or how, but I’m going to buy your paint and create something beautiful. Thank you for inspiring me, Debi. Thank you.
Deb, you are such an 'Artist'....you remind me that at one point in my life, I painted some walls in a Co-op and they came out like 'Tuscany' looking and I was 'Thrilled' and even someone that I consider a Great Artist (free style) came in and said, "Sherry, you did a great job on that wall, I am impressed", makes me desire to do that again. Sigh.....:)
I was using crap 💩 paint 🎨. I was searching for someone to paint colorful finishes. I came across you Debi!!! I didn’t see the bright and bold paint colors as much as I do now. Then I was thinking 🤔, okay I live in the middle of nowhere. I can’t afford to buy a bunch of paint. I went to your website and found my local retailer. My first DIY paint 🎨 colors were Old 57, Kissing booth and Cowgirl coral. And yes they all went onto a piece I did. I was done ✅ with that crap 💩 paint 🎨. I’ve never gone back to it either. Your paint 🎨 has changed my life. Thank you. Love this video. Xoxo 😘.
The moral of her story "if you want it done right, you have to do it yourself" ❤
Your personality is wonderful and I look forward to your story videos it makes my day.🌼
Debi, I didn't mean to infer this particular video was a funny one. It proves how much integrity and loyalty you have to people because of your love of what you promote and encourage us in your videos. I had not reached the part about your Mom and I apologize as my first comment made me feel insensitive to that after I continued watching. You certainly have struggled to get your business off and running and your stick-to-it frame of mind prove if there is something in life you really want, you figure out a way to get there! God has a plan for you and it is apparent you listen to His suggestions!!
I love your stories and how you open your self up and your heart pours out!
Debi I’m so happy to see this type of video of yours again! You inspire so many of us. Love your story and it’s outcome! Your work is always amazing. Oh and ...... I have to say.... the music chosen in your videos is fantastic! Thank You for starting strong 💕
Hardships often bring blessings. Having to live with your ailing mom probably was an amazing blessing and another hardship (emotionally) all at the same time but it gave you time with her that is irreplaceable.I found a store in my town that carries the paint and so I went in and signed up for a class, bought the paint and there it sits! I think I need to go back and get another color. Happy & Prosperous New Year!
You are such a great storyteller...I love your videos! Any project you tackle is beautiful. May God continue to bless you, your family and friends. Looking forward to seeing what creative technique you'll use next week!
What a story! I love all the colors you used here! Boho blue is probably my all-time favorite, but my go to is Old 57.
I just love your entire personality- Your stories are so interesting: because of the way YOU tell them!
Glad I found your channel! I am 53 years old, & I have been doing all kinds of different art projects, craft projects, etc- my entire life. ( I did arts & crafts shows for a while, back in the 90s- painting clothes & doing some individual rodeo clown portraits on a t-shirt for them. It was a lot of fun! I love this story about your paint! I can't wait to get a bunch of it & try it out. I hope you keep making videos and telling stories- I love seeing your projects come to life, while hearing your stories !!
I had heard bits and pieces of this story before but not the whole thing. Wow Debi you are truly amazing. To keep going and going and going and not giving up. The dresser is beautiful. I'm hopeless at blending but I'm definitely going to try it your way. Thanks for sharing your story.
You are AMAZING! Your videos touch my soul, the truth, you always tell. Love watching your paint videos and all the super creative ideas you share with us. You are a true IDOL in the paint world and I am so glad I follow YOU!
Love this story. The way you tell it makes me giggle and also feel all the emotions you must've felt through that ordeal. Love your work. ❤
Debi any technique that you employ when you are creating one of your beautiful pieces, is Not cheating. Your creations are as unique and as valuable as you.
I love watching your videos. I started painting furniture a few years ago with the same paint you are describing and still love it. I have begun to use DIY
Paint and other products in the line. Love it too. Thanks for the lovely colors. I just bought a jar of Golden Ticket and can’t wait to use it. Keep up the good work and thanks
Again.
Im not sure whats more beautiful the furniture, your story of determination or your inner beauty wow ! Im inspired get me some of this paint ! oh crap i need some money
I just came across you on CZcams. I Love your stuff. People like us are what happens when the goofy weird kids in school stay that way.Lol! Isn’t it funny how now everyone wants to have the courage to do things that we all do. Ooooh how times have changed. Keep up the great work. I love your videos, love your stories, the diy, I even love the music....just keep swimming, your doing a great job.❤️😊👍
I appreciate your integrity. It shows through in your passion.
I love this story so much! So many of us relate to this starting out too-buying all the mistints lol
Stunning work as always
I love your story, and especially love the way you tell it! How sweet that you named that paint White Swan.
I hard about this paint through another furniture artist CZcamsr and searched the name clicked on the CZcams logo at the bottom of the page and landed back here on CZcams again. This has been an Amazing and great story! What a fantastic life you've created for yourself you worked so hard for it and earned it!
What a fantastic video..depicting your excellent painting skills and your deep strength and self belief. Love the music too..tremendous. Well done...your future has success written all over it!
My husband and I started making furniture a few years ago and it's been so unpredictable but I admire your resilience and strength to believe in your dream. I've followed you for 4 years now and will continue❤❤because if you can do it then any one of us can with a little sacrifice! Thanks Debi
yes indeed! Keep going, xoxo
Adore you and your stories and your "can do and never quit" philosophy! Inspiring!
I absolutely loved this video!! I loved the story. I love the music selections. I loved the project...it turned out so cool. You are my favorite you tuber!! Please make more of these!! 🥰 💙💙💙
Each one of your videos touches me in a different way. You are an excellent story teller and I love this type of video and will often watch it more than once, paying more attention to a part I might have missed. Kind of like a really good movie, you know? But I also enjoy your Friday morning videos, with your peeps and everyone's different viewpoints and skill sets. Most of the time, unless there is a technique I want to watch over, I only watch those once. ALL of your videos inspire me: to paint, yes of course, but also to look more closely at who I am as a person. I thank you for all of that.
I'm in LOVE with your shirt. Beautifully styled as always. 💟
Your perseverance inspires me. To keep pushing along after all those wrenches were thrown your way! Wow! Thank you for sharing your story, Debi! ❤️
What a wonderful story!! Love your stories that make you so real. Thanks for being you!❤️
I was watching your Friday video, with Melissa's chair with the fern transformation. Now the Dresser painted blending method. I woke up at 2:30 AM here, with a lot going on packing for my move down South. I'm excited, to start refinishing furniture this way with your paint. I just hope there's a vendor in NC. There must be, there has to be for me. Thank you Debi, for this video the piece is beautiful and great tips. I'll be watching many more that I've already view, once I get refinishing furniture. Thank you Debi, for your inspiration and techniques.
Thank you, Debi for having principles! And this was one fine video. If I didn’t have such a stressful job, I’d be breaking out the samples I just bought from one of your retailers and running out to my garage to get the ugliest coffee table that I got for just this reason. I was wide eyed, in awe of the art you created! I absolutely loved the story too! It’s important!
I believe as more mall stores die (as they all undercut each other & offer less and less service) that many more retailers will begin to peak out of the retail void. I’ve been wrong before of course. But I see & hear so many customers that are unhappy with their buying experiences.
It will probably only happen in specialized businesses. But look at YOUR retailers! What they, like you, DO for us!
I also can’t stand the customer that goes to the retailer like you then run to an undercutter and buys the cheaper one. I bet your lady had some sort of internet company or another reseller that she got to undercut you.
I would have been the one that bought the paint after the class even though I could get it cheaper elsewhere. I believe in paying for service.
Loved your happy dance at the end!
You deserve it after all you went through. God Bless!!!
Loving the paint + stories! The dresser is gorgeous. The watercolor effect, so cool! The story is captivating. I remember your video or blog post about what was going on with paint way back before you started DIY Paint!
Besides teaching us..you entertain us and motivate us..and inspire us! Your videos are art in themselves..I was so moved by your story and awestruck at the dresser! I'm a simple white swan gal lol..but I love watching and learning from you and from Jami Ray Vintage. I've been painting furniture for decades for myself..it's so cool to see all the new techniques. And..I TOTALLY agree that DIY paint is the best! I get mine in Upland, CA from the RUSTY GYPSY store. If you haven't visited Courtney and seen her store you're missing out! I think you'd love it (& and Courtney), Debi💕
You are the bomb! Wow...what a story! You kept me on the edge of my seat. This watercolor tech is brilliant and a Must Try. Thank you for being a fun woman of talent and integrity. Had to Sub!
Thank you for sharing your life with us. I am fascinated by your storytelling and creativity. I adore you, thank you for being an inspiration. ❤️❤️❤️
Debi here's wishing you even more success and prosperity in 2020!!! ❤
It's so 'Blendy' I love when you say that.
This story tears me up; it touches me. Had me on the edge of my seat waiting for the happy ending. I feel for you that you had to go through the poverty and sticking to your integrity even when it sometimes feels like getting punished for it...know how that feels. Really hope your biz is now thriving.
Thanks for sharing and thanks for staying you when the world tried to change you. I think you are amazing and all the connections you’ve made and honoured give me hope for a better and more honest world. You’re also an amazing furniture artist, I mean wow!
Think it’s the second time you described the paint as “smells like dirt” lol ms debi is absolutely hilarious
Great story...thank you for sharing. I sincerely believe it will increase your customer base. It just hits home... one can relate to your struggles. I've never used your paint but I want to. I tune in for the inspiration the laughter your stories the beautiful paint jobs and the background music LOL One day i hope there will be a diy retailer in my city. Happy New year.
I just picked up a piece that I’m saving for after the TX workshop in March. Can’t wait to meet you!! I’m coming from Florida and going with my mom who lives in Dallas.
ohhh so excited to see to meet you both in Texas!
My goodness I love an inspiration heartfelt story to begin with. The. Throw some artistry on top of it??? Wow you have my heart and I’m such a fan of your work and your vibe. Thank you for continuing to stay true to yourself and chasing dreams.
Debbie you are a natural at story telling. I could listen to you all day. You are so inspirational.
