Welcome to Chateau Irreverent. Stella lives here. She’s that boho chic, fun, funky woman with pink hair who drinks chilled wine at noon, wears sequins to do yard work and treats velvet as a neutral. She collects and creates mismatched things with a sense of ceremony and talks about them like old friends from art school. Her bungalow suits her. The windows refuse to align, the door has its own agenda and the path swerves like it’s dodging paparazzi. A lone tree stands nearby- straight, stiff and visibly trying to pretend it does not know the house. It has never attended an HOA meeting and quite frankly, who could blame it. Stella calls the entire situation “design integrity,” and she delivers this phrase with the kind of sparkling confidence that shuts down follow-up questions. The mountains in the back silently applaud. They’ve never matched anything in their lives. The neighbors include Mrs. Kravitz from across the street, who has an emotional support clipboard and a tense relationship with whimsy. Mrs. Kravitz has logged 47 violations about Stella’s “aesthetic unpredictability” and makes loud statements about property values into the wind. Stella, being unbothered in every possible dimension, occasionally raises her wine glass in Mrs. Kravitz’s direction and continues her day. And that, as the mountains will tell you, is the natural balance of the world.

Hey there, Lyne! The next Instagram workshop you're offering is on March 7. With the great time difference, how might we best plug into that? It will begin at 5:00 p.m. for me and I see it's an all-day workshop. Thanks for any info.

Hi all! Oh man...I spent way too much time on this. I accidently did all my work on the document link and not in my Canva branding area. I missed the tail end of the session last week and couldn't find the video to review so I just winged what I thought I was supposed to do. Here is a copy of what I came up with, but I will have to go back into Canva and insert the info into my branding area. And I sure I hope I didn't mess the link up for anyone else! Sigh...

I wish we had another week….im not sure I’ll have anything to contribute tomorrow and can’t stay for the whole session 😢

Well, it looks like I'm in good company. I have nothing to share in today's class. I've spent my time watching the first class session once again. Is the second one posted? I'll find out quite shortly. I look forward to seeing all your lovely faces in a few short hours.
