'Dream It, Believe It, Do It!'

"Dream It, Believe It, Do It!" This was the challenge issued by Donna Dewberry to all 500+ artists during the opening session of the 2007 Super Education Convention held June 12-15 in Orlando, FL.

As has been the case for the past 10+ years of the One Stroke™ event, the love and talent shared between Donna and her painters was awesome. Donna's stirring speech was part reminiscing, part challenging, part pep rally, and all inspiring!

Donna reminisced about painting in her kitchen where she launched her dream. She recounted early meetings with Plaid when they backed her beliefs and talents. Then Donna acknowledged it was up to her to do it. She did and continues to reinvent herself, her program with innovative tools, techniques and powerful products, and inspire millions to discover their inner artist.

Attendees love her because she's one of them…an everyday Mom who dared to dream, believe and do. She also reminded attendees that relationships go both ways: she knew she was going to be inspired by the painters, their stories, their talents.

Donna graciously acknowledged the many people who continue to believe in her--her family and friends, Plaid, and of course her devoted force of One Stroke artists.

Attendees spent the rest of the day trying dozens of products and creating a variety of inspiring projects during an energetic session dubbed Do 'n' Dash. After a full day of art and inspiration, attendees dressed to thrill for a Roaring '20s theme dinner and dance which was followed by a midnight madness sale.

And that was just day 1! Watch this space for photos, a show report from one delighted attendee and much more in next week's newsletter!

Be sure to look into our One Stroke™ Get Started!™ program to share in the rewards and excitement of the nation's favorite painting technique.
