I told KZfaq that I've always wanted to paint...and then I was met with so much kindness in the comments encouraging me to try even if I wasn't great at it at the start. In this video, I'm giving painting my best shot while I share life updates, tell a bunch of stories, and make myself a meal I've been craving for a few weeks now. (If you've never had super fries, you are missing OUT.)
If painting is your thing, you should load this video up and paint alongside of me! But if you're not much of a crafter, no stress. (I stress enough for the both of us in this video.)

I just wanted to say that I'm happy you signed the painting. Signing your work isn't about declaring you or your work important; it's a finishing touch to celebrate completing the piece. I'd also suggest adding a date, even if it's just the year. That way you can better track your journey!

I used to work at a grocery store (in the pharmacy, but there was definitely a rule to check the bottom of the carts for anyone checking people out). The way that works is that either there should be a courtesy clerk (bagger) who offers to lift it to be scanned or who notifies the cashier. The cashier can also use mirrors that are strategically placed to see the bottom of the cart, and if there are items there, they have a handheld scanner they can reach or take around to scan the items. They don’t have to (and shouldn’t) make it a confrontation. You’re right, they don’t get paid enough to be trying to stop shoplifters.

wait the painting was so cute! i love it so much! it's okay if not all the paintings turn out like that one. art is art. and sometimes the beauty of the piece is clear in the final product, and sometimes the beauty of the piece was the experience and memory of making it (just like a full roll of lens cap photos)

Former cashier....that 100% is part of the training I got. There are reflective panels of metal and you're supposed to look at the reflection and see if the bottom of the cart is empty or not.

I would absolutely LOVE to have that 70s colors vibe of oranges hanging in my kitchen!! You should be so proud of yourself, woman…I think you killed it! 😊🧡

I failed terribly at a paint night, the instructor said “ It shows a semblance of resignation “ Such an interesting perspective 😂

That was the best bs story I’ve ever heard in my life! I was fully invested in that piece of art by the time you were done talking about Bethany and Lens Cap. Please, please do the art piece note next to it and hang it proudly! You should sign it too. 💜 😎☺️

Just leave the painting bright yellow and call it “full exposure”. It’s part of the lens cap series!

Omg thank you. Every time I see images of people’s sip and wine experience they have perfect paintings. I’ve never done it but I’m pretty confident that would not be my result

As soon as I heard the siren I was thinking ‘Ah, Wednesday afternoons in Omaha!’ And then I was suddenly doubting 30 years of memory and wondering if they always happened on Wednesdays or some other day. And then 10 seconds later you saved my sanity a bit! 🤣 11:15 do what Uncle Roger says when ‘measuring’, just use feelings! 15:16 oh my giddy aunt, where did you get this idea?!? That looks so good.
