Our last Coffee Break was so much fun. It was wonderful to finally meet some of you, chat about art, share ideas, and simply spend time together. I’d love to make it a regular event—but I’d like to plan it around your schedule. Would 8:00 PM (Paris time) work for you? Or would another time be better? And what day do you prefer? 🗓️ Weekday or weekend? I’d also love to hear what you would enjoy doing during our Coffee Breaks. Should we: 🎨 Paint together? 📚 Follow a short lesson or mini course? 🖌️ Work on our own projects while chatting? ☕ Simply grab a coffee and get to know each other? 💬 Talk about art, creativity, and the challenges we’re facing? ✨ Or something completely different? The goal is to build a friendly community where we can inspire, encourage, and learn from one another. Leave a comment and let me know: • Your country (I’m curious where everyone is joining from!) • Your preferred day • Your preferred time • And what kind of Coffee Break you’d enjoy most. Hopefully we can get an even bigger group together this time. I can’t wait to see you all! ❤️

Just a quick reminder that our Coffee Hour is happening tomorrow at 3 PM! (French time) After last week’s unexpected postponement, I’m really looking forward to seeing you all and catching up.

Hi everyone, Unfortunately, my daughter and I are currently at the hospital after an accident. It looks like her knee will likely need stitches, so she will be staying home from school this week while she recovers. Because of this, I need to postpone our Coffee Hour by one week. My sincere apologies to anyone who had arranged time off or adjusted their schedule to attend. Thank you so much for your understanding and patience. I’ll keep you updated and look forward to seeing you all next week. Thank you for your support. ❤️ Valérie
