Kids are super creative and typically not weighed down by fear of failure when it comes to art. Their artful expression is often limited to drawing or painting on paper or cutting and gluing...again, with paper. This is a different type of art - one which is usually only experienced by adults. Let's change that. Kids are amazingly creative and learn easily and quickly when given the proper instruction.
The teaching videos in this course are examples of how quickly a kid can develop their ability to create beautiful works of art. To learn more, click the button below:
This is the course I developed for the Let's Flip Together challenge I ran in my Furniture Flipping Forum FB group. It has 10+ videos of step-by-steps that will take you start to finish through a project and teach you a dozen techniques. The videos are short and to the point with no fluff.
Choose your piece, choose your colors, and choose which methods you want to use for your project. This video series will advance your redesign skills like none others.

BACKGROUND
40 years as a wife, 30 years as a parent, and 20 years as a teacher cultivated frugality, balance and uncommon determination. Common is boring. More is my status quo - more for my family and more for others - more for you. There is no time to stand still. Quitting is not an option. Helping you find your inner artist so you can change the world around you is my premier goal...one piece at a time.
EXPERIENCE
The best education is experience. Viewing life practically with a desire for self-sufficiency encourages learning as the need arises. Being self taught in graphic design, portrait and still photography, writing, website building, special needs teaching and parenting, gives me the edge to support you and your goals. I have gained know-how in home renovation, DIY furniture redesign and refinishing, upcycling, repurposing, gardening, prepping and landscaping. As I learn, I teach. It's who I am.

Raising Real Kids Book Reviews
"When I opened this book I was pleasantly surprised with flashy pictures, colors, and illustrations. Call me juvenile, but the appearance was very appealing and kept me turning the page because I wanted to see more. It is almost like reading a magazine. You don't want to miss something.
Lastly I have to say how practical it is. I don't feel like your "selling me something". Rather, like I am just hanging out with a real person who isn't trying to be the perfect know it all. The experience of those who have "been there, lived that" can be very valuable when others are entering similar battlefields."
~Brad Moodie, father of 3
"Her book is packed full of practical and useful information on dealing with mealtime drama, bedtime struggles, and the myriad of ways children can devise to just generally be stinkers!
I love the list-type approach Val has included for dealing with so many issues that can arise in a household. Some of them we've used - others I wish we had. And, even though we don't have any really small children anymore, I still found practical tips for dealing with problems we struggle with even now.
If you have one or 20 children in your life, you NEED to check this out!"
~ Karen King, mom of 7
"Raising Real Kids by Val Frania is a practical guide for parents of children of all ages up to teens.
Finicky eaters, nightmares and bed wetting are just three of the numerous dilemmas Val addresses with down to earth suggestions. It is a quick read with delightful graphics.
Grab a cup of coffee and be prepared to be encouraged and entertained with Raising Real Kids."
