Welcome 2013 - It's going to be a great year!

With the Holidays and all we've been a bit busy like everyone.  We spent time with our families, rested a bit and are now planning for the New Year! 
 
We started last Saturday with our first CHALK PAINT 101 class, which we presented to our wonderful dealers at Paddywac's.  It was fabulous and we all learned something!  It's a great class and if you've seen the email that went out or our Website, you will notice that we have scheduled three CHALK PAINT 101 classes (which are filling up fast!) for January and February. 
 
Start out your new year by learning a new skill or adding to what you already know.  You can register on line at nicnacpaddywacs.com click on the On Line Shop or give us a call.

We will be changing our availability at the store - YOU CAN CALL US TO SET UP A TIME TO COME IN AND PURCHASE PAINT. 
 
We wanted to share some pictures we took during the training with you.  Hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

 Then we got down to painting!
 



 
Can't say enough about the training.  We came home with tons of information and a feeling of being empowered.  The Annie Sloan organization is fantastic.
