Let's talk about these formulas you see on paint tubes sometimes. What are these riddles and why should we care about them?

Online Events/Craft Summits to pay attention to in November:

1) Elves' Summit 2025 - almost 40 different workshops, cooking, crafting, holiday planning and organizing, party cocktails and sooo much more! I am not presenting this time, but my blogging friend - Bobbie does (she will show you how to bake cookies to make cookies in a jar Christmas gift) - highly recommend. It is 3 days and it is FREE!

2) Hobby Skool Craft and Create club - each month they have different creative workshops, I will be soon presenting my own, but there are already tons of good painting, calligraphy, drawing, DIY home decor, and beyond. Treasure trove of projects!

See you next week :)

Some links in my content are affiliate links. They mean NO extra cost for you but support my passion with itty-bitty commissions. Thank you!
