🎨🍂 CRAFT CLASSES ARE BACK AT IT TAKES A VILLAGE DESIGN! 🍂🎨

It’s been way too long since we’ve had a good old-fashioned paint night, and we are SO excited to be bringingthem back!

📅 Next Wednesday, Sept. 23
⏰ 6 PM until you finish... but we’re kicking you out at 9. 😂
📍 It Takes a Village Design in Weston
🎟️ LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE!

You’ll have SIX projects to choose from:

🍂 Hey Boo Door Hanger
👻 Hey Boo 4' Porch Leaner
🦊 Rusty Kit Fox Door Hanger
🐦‍⬛ Harvest Crows 4' Porch Leaner
🐿️ It’s Freaking Nuts Door Hanger
🦃 Hello Turkey 4' Porch Leaner

Door hangers are approximately 16" and porch leaners are a big, beautiful 4' x 1'!

💰 $45 per project
Bring your own paints, ribbons, and embellishments OR add $5 and we’ll have your paint colors and supplies ready for you (excluding ribbon and scrapbook paper if you want those). If you want your porch leaner reversible, choose two and receive a $30 off coupon!

And don’t worry if you don’t consider yourself “crafty.” If you can base coat, you can make one of these! We’ll have 2–3 teachers there helping throughout the night and showing you some of our favorite painting tips and tricks, including shading, distressing, gradients, and more. We’ll help you get that finished look you love!

🥘 We’re making it a potluck, too!
We’ll provide the main dish and ask everyone to bring something to share for a light dinner. Everyone registered will receive the details by email this weekend.

🎁 And because we can’t just have a normal paint night... expect some fun, drawings, giveaways and surprises throughout the evening!

Our website is currently still throwing a little plugin tantrum, so for now, sign up by texting or messaging Kristi or Taci. Your spot isn’t guaranteed until you’re registered, and space is limited.

We’re hoping to make these paint nights a monthly thing, and we cannot WAIT to get started again.

Grab a friend, pick your project, bring something yummy to share and come spend the evening painting, laughing and creating with us.

It’s going to be a dang fun night. Come join us! 🧡🎨🍁

It hits differently, now.

25 years later, September 11th brings a rush of memories, emotions, and now feelings as a first responder mom.

I remember watching that day unfold with heartbreak, fear, and an overwhelming gratitude for the brave every day heroes who ran toward what everyone else was running from.

I understand a little more deeply what it means when someone you love puts on a uniform, walks out the door, and promises to serve and protect, knowing there may come a day when they are asked to run toward the danger.

Today at ITAVD, we remember the lives lost, the families who never got their loved ones back, the unsung heroes born of co-worker friends or seatmates, and the first responders who answered the call without hesitation.

As a mom, that courage makes me incredibly proud.

And if I’m being truthful, it terrifies and horrifies me, too.

So today, my gratitude for those who serve feels a little deeper, my prayers for their families a little more personal, and the words 'Never Forget' carry a little more weight.

Having stood on that hallowed, sacred ground, we will always remember, honor, and be grateful for a country that was unified the next day because of the actions of others. 🇺🇸

Some of the CUTEST projects come from members of this sweet village. 🦊

We love getting suggestions of projects people want, and if we can support other designers in the process, even better.

**If you suggest an idea or file we end up purchasing or designing and posting, we will give you 50% off your next purchase up to $20.**

This one came from our own Laci Talbot Smith!
We found it, purchased the file, cut it, changed it for ease of painting and breakability, made it a little more us, and here we are!

Does fall get any cuter than woodland animals, mushrooms, leaf gradients, and rusty kits? 🤎💛🧡

We say nay.

And because loyalty and community is HUGE in this group, this little guy is going to be gifted to frequent commenter/liker/sharer/tagger/suggester, Leslee Graves! Because life is just better when you're part of a Village!

Keep suggesting, following, and engaging for your chance to win!

✨ CRAFT GIVEAWAY! ✨

Let’s see those adorable items! 😍

34 years ago this summer I was working as a summer temp employee for Presto (how the crap did I get so old!?). With that job came some amazing life-long friendships!

I was painting some crafts for a Presto friend's order last night and realized she was probably my company's longest running customer! It got me thinking and the nostalgia feels came out in buckets! 💦

I am SO THANKFUL for the loyalty, love, support, and friendships you've shown me and my family over the years!

The craft world ebbs and flows with the economy, but for over THREE DECADES you've supported us, and that is no small thing!

For me, knowing I get to bring beauty, heart, and peace to your home through decor fills my heart with joy! When I visit and see one of my pieces, my heart swells (and sometimes, so do my eyes 🥹).

You guys...I genuinely love you. ❤️

As a thank you, I'd like to have a little giveaway....

🩵If you have finished crafts that you've purchased from me or DIY projects of mine you've finished yourself, snap a pic 📸 and post it in the comments.
🧡Have some of our apparel? Do the same!

🧡Won something that I donated to an event? Post it!
