Another Beginning!

It's funny how you think things will work out one way, then everything takes a drastic turn. I have been so blessed on this journey of artistic self-discovery. All of this began as a way to make extra money. I needed to figure a way to pay some serious student loan debt. My regular teacher's salary was not getting it. This money needed to be in addition to our regular budget. I applied for jobs at every level. I took on tutoring after school. I did some mystery shopping, I took a part-time job stocking books for a local Kmart. No other minimum wage payers would hire me because I was over-qualified. I knew that I had to do something.

I looked to my talents. I am a decent teacher. I love art. I began talking to a local gallery owner and an art teacher friend of mine. I began painting more and doing some crafts. I knew I could do some crafts. The problem with trying to market and sell crafts is that most people do not appreciate the time, energy, and effort that goes into a crafty work of art or a painting. I took an art class in a nearby city. Then it hit me. I can teach people to paint. Not just people, but children. My 7 year old son was my first guinea pig.

Through trial and error, I have developed a way to use my talent to help others celebrate with paint. This is my fourth year of hosting paint parties for children and adults. My business began with the name Celebrate with Paint, evolved into Ginn's Art, combined with The Color Palette Studio and finally has become  It's Sooo Easel!!!

This has been a fantastic ride. I have made many new friends and professional aquaintances for whom I will always be grateful.
Thank you for the support, advice, and above and beyond all else encouragement!!
