2012 SDP Board Member At Large - Election Run

I just thought I would let you know that I am running for the SDP Board as member at large for next year. I know this may seem a little early but I am reaching out to painting friends and chapters requesting their support. I know that I am fairly new to the industry but everything that I do and have done is to promote decorative painting, increase member numbers and try to increase our industry ...presence. I was asked if I would run by the nominating committee while at HOOT and I accepted as I feel that now is a perfect time to work with our chapters and members to build a bigger, stronger, and more responsive SDP. If we all work together, then we can definitely make a difference. I will be representing the members, chapters and other painting friends if I am elected. I will use my years of experience (over 40) in business, marketing and Human Resources management to help bring about change throughout SDP. It is time for a new, bigger, stronger and better SDP, I think.

The voting, as you know, will be at next year's 2012 SDP Conference however, for those members that cannot attend the conference, there is an absentee ballot process where non-attending members can vote making their voices heard.

Hopefully, I can count on your vote and support. I think it is time that our members are heard and my intention is to work very hard on their behalf.

If you are not a SDP member or if you need to renew your membership, now is the perfect time to do just that. Have a great day and happy painting.

David



Comments About Pampered Palette From Seminar Attendees

This past weekend we had a fantastic seminar at our studio with guest artist David Jansen. I wanted to share some of the comments that we have received from the attendees. We appreciate so much their comments, friendship and their business. Check out the comments below:

"Thank you so much for your hospitality this past weekend. Good company, good classes, gracious hosts and great food.  I appreciate so much your dedication to excellence in the decorative painting community. My very best wishes for continued success with Pampered Palette". (Susan M.)

"The seminar was WONDERFUL - and we need to thank you for sponsoring David to come to teach us. It was the best seminar I have been to in 10 years. So, again THANK YOU VERY MUCH". (Bennie P.)

"Thank you both for providing such a wonderful painting experience. What a treat to have David Jansen teach practically in my backyard". (Susan V.)

"I had a lovely time. Thank you". (Rickie S.)

"What a blast! I have learned so much in 3 days. Thank you for pampering us with great food and gifts while we learned from the fantabulous David Jansen". (Bobbie B.)

"Greatest seminar ever! Lot of laughs, terrific food, incredible lectures!". (Kristina R.)

"Dear David and Mark,  What a great weekend with good friends! Learning painting techniques from David Jansen, eating fabulous food, meeting new people, having a great studio to paint in, and oh, my, the gifts just ...kept coming from Pampered Palette. I particularly love my new painting apron. Now I won't want to get any paint on it! We were certainly pampered! Your Pampered Palette name is so appropriate.

I am so glad I finally was able to attend a seminar in your most welcoming and comfortable environment and look forward to more." (Jackie N)

"Pampered Palette is a "Class Act". Enjoyed the seminar and appreciated David's teaching style. "Pampered Palette" is definitely a well organized and run operation along with making you feel welcome and of course pampered.  Thank you," (Nancy G)

I will say, this was one of the best seminars I have ever been to if not the best.  Good friends, wonderful food, great teacher, and wonderful hosts.  Thank you so much for everything.  (Becky B.)

Again, we would like to thank all 23 individuals that joined us for this great seminar making it such a HUGE success.

For those of you that were unable to attend our seminar, then maybe we will see you soon at another seminar sponsored by Pampered Palette. Don't you think you need to be "pampered" at your next seminar? Join us and you will see how Pampered Palette is different.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

David and Mark

A Really Busy Time For Us!!! Lots of Stuff Going On!!!!

We have been so busy lately trying to get everything completed, updated or rearranged. A couple of weeks ago we had to empty our entire training room so that we could install new flooring, which makes the room much nicer and a lot easier for those leather rolling chairs that students sit on to paint. Those chairs work so well on the new floor that we could run races as the chairs just zip along................lol. After the floor was installed we decided that since we had to put everything back into the training room, that we would make a few changes. We have added lots of new items like additional lighting in the ceiling, new surfaces, Lynne Andrews patterns, Arlene Linton books, Scottie Foster books, and we are installing a ceiling mounted sound system so that everyone attending classes can hear the instructor. Lots and lots of changes.

We have also had two seminars recently with Tatiana's Zhostovo Style seminar, Sandy Scales Maureen McNaughton Seminar, my own classes and of course the upcoming David Jansen seminar. Seems like we have very little time to get anything else done but that is not the case. This week I finished two pieces that I have been painting and am working on a third. Really busy.

We are also getting ready for next year. We have seminars booked at our studio all the way through December 2012. We have seminars with Arlene Linton, Sandy Scales, Louis Mueller, Val Cole, Tatiana Sholokhova, Serina Huang and Mark Polomchak, just to name a few. What an exciting year 2012 will be. For conferences, we are expanding that area as well. We will have booths at SDP (Wichita) Conference, HOOT Conference and for the first time we will be exhibiting at the Artist Expo Houston. We are so looking forward to meeting many of our friends and making new friends at the shows. Those are just a few things that we have in the works so it looks like next year will be very busy for us as we continue to grow.

On a final note, we are now a PROUD business sponsor of the National Museum of Decorative Painting. We would like to encourage everyone to support the decorative painting museum in some way, with a generous donation or a visit to the museum. Any support whatsoever is greatly appreciated. Also, watch for the Pampered Palette advertisements in the PaintWorks Magazine.

For information about what is happening at Pampered Palette, email us at david@pamperedpalette.com or visit our website http://www.pamperedpalette.com/ which includes updated information and our online store. See you all soon.........somewhere. Until then, HAPPY PAINTING!
