We have successfully MOVED. No more going back and forth to California except to see friends and visit wonderful CeCeCaldwell Retailers up and down the coast.
Welcome to Prescott, AZ., we are HOME! Just look at this view I wake up to every morning, not just from one area of our house but from every room. This is as close to heaven as I want to be for a few more years.

My studio is completely set up, workshops are underway and the most wonderful thing ever, I get to PAINT. I'm loving all the doors that have opened and closed in my life....if certain things wouldn't have happened or experienced I wouldn't be where I am today.

Enough said for now....it's very early in the morning and I smell the coffee brewing, the world is about to "wake up" and I'm going to snuggle on my glider to witness the birth of this new day. I'll be back now a couple times a week posting all the events and workshops taking place with "Paint with a View" and also introducing you to exciting new happenings in the world of paint and creativity.

CeCe Caldwell Benefit Paint Workshop featuring CeCe Caldwell
I love the city that I live in and the people that live here. I was raised in Spokane. I have moved away a couple of times but always came back home....to Spokane. Of course, all of my family are here so that is one of the big reasons. One of the other reasons are because of the other wonderful people and organizations that are based in Spokane.
One of the those wonderful organizations is Project H.O.P.E Spokane.
Our Mission: “Project H.O.P.E provides the means for disadvantaged youth in Spokane’s West Central and Emerson Garfield neighborhoods to escape poverty and gang affiliation through entrepreneurial initiatives.”
In response to gang fatalities, neighbors of West Central created Project H.O.P.E. (a 501c3, Not for Profit). First, there was a safe place, an open gym in a church. Then, it began to teach life skills. Four years ago, they’d grown to include five community gardens called Riverfront Farms, and a lawn care business called Jobs Not Jails, both run by at-risk-youth from the neighborhood along with a variety of volunteers.
During recent years Riverfront Farms has grown to include nine garden lots, and a Farmers’ Market. Riverfront also sells produce at stores that had not previously offered more “food” than a common gas station.
This year, they are re-landscaping several garden plots to be more productive and sustainable. One lot is oriented mostly for education purposes. They are all volunteers.
This program is open to kids 8 - 18 and the amount that can participate is only limited by funding.
With this in mind - Western Regions CeCe Caldwells Paint and Products, Debi Weber Design from Paradise Valley, AZ and Orphaned Decor Present
Project H.O.P.E Benefit Workshop

In the afternoon, you will spend time completing a take home project provided by the Western Region.

I did get the studio moved and have had two "Retailer Training/Workshops".
The answer to your questions about having workshops soon in Prescott and in AZ is YES....they
are being scheduled as I type this.
My studio there is "Paint With a View"....not only does your furniture "talk to you" and gives
you "vision" of renewal....while you are waiting for it to speak.....you can look out the Studio
windows and be inspired. I SO LOVE IT THERE.
Thank you for your patience....I'll soon be back in the blogging world.

It's all I can do at the moment to go back and forth to Prescott to our new home and studio on the hill, almost touching heaven. It's pure agony
every time I have to lock up and go back to CA for yet "another load". Soon it will be completed and a new journey will begin.
My new studio has been named......"Paint with a View". Talk about inspiring and serene.

CeCeCaldwell paints, wax and now a totally new satin finish....all GREEN is over the top with inquiries and retailers joining the family.
Destination workshops are underway as well as workshops in each state/region teaching beautiful applications for all types of projects.
I will post contacts etc. in the Western Region before the weekend is over....and I promise to sit right down and catch you all up on
EVERYTHING. Until then....enjoy your weekend.

like wild fire and on top of all this, we are moving to Prescott, AZ. Moving means, shutting down my
studio here, moving household to an awesome home in Prescott....and setting up a main Western Distribution
to house CeCeCaldwells Paint and products.
I WILL POST the Western Retailers that are in place so you can see the dance I've been dancing. Whew, good
thing I like to dance!
Say a little prayer for me.....watch for the CeCe "dance" on UTUBE and please don't give up on my blog, just
understand if you don't see a post for the next few weeks.

I LOVE what I'm doing and I will continue full speed ahead.
After this weeks Distributor Meeting here in Southern California I will post weekly. I am behind in posting the locations of
the Western Regions CeCeCaldwell's Retailers and also the workshops and Demo's that are being held.

The paint drama "out there" has just about taken a toll on me....one unethical person
trying to control product lines and good people is wrong!I do believe what "goes around

You all need to know about the wonderful Retailers in your area
stocking CeCe Caldwells amazing paint. I will post names, locations etc. and just how you
can order paint/products. My website is once again being updated, meanwhile, you can check
out CeCe Caldwells website if you have any questions.
The 3rd Paint n the Wine Country Workshop will be on two separate days now.....March 21 and 22nd.
The response is so great we had to add another day. Wahooooooooooooooooo....paint is going to
fly again.

Other great news is Designer Annette Tatum's beautiful wall paint has just been introduced and made available.
Lots of fun things are going to happen with her colors and fabrics. Be watching for
awesome wall embellishments created especially with you in mind. It will be as simple as 1-2-3, it's
just that easy.
Until next week when I can focus on all the good in the world, amazing creativity and all my
favorite people....have a good rest of the week.

enthusiasm and creativity. We painted and played with CeCeCaldwell's paint and beautiful wax.
We did a little zinc. We plastered and embossed designs. We foiled. We CRACKLED big time, various
mediums and methods.
I've been invited back for the 3rd Paint n Wine Country Workshop and not only will it be offered
one day but two. March 21 is open for registration, March 22nd is FULL. Please register on my
website to be sure and get a space. I am going to be comping TWO spaces again. To enter, go to
my HouseofAnne Facebook page....Like it and send me a short message as to why you should be
selected.
The March workshop will be teaching brand new applications using fabrics, foils, embellisments,
powders and more crackle and colored waxed techniques.
I am going to post photo's of last weeks workshop...I apologize everyone is not in the group
photo, I couldn't pry some away from their projects!

Today the car is packed and I'm ready to head out for Sonoma, CA.
to the beautiful Sonoma Country Antiques and European Furniture Shop.
We are going to have a great time introducing two new products, Ce Ce
Caldwells beautiful paint that comes in 21 colors with 12 more
coming in March. The paint is GREEN...no acrylic and the wax is
all natural...NO PETROLEUM and made in the USA.
Beautiful applications will be taught and PAINT WILL FLY. I will
be introducing two new Retailers in the Bay area and I will be setting up
a third Retailer on my way home in the San Joaquin Valley.
February 24 and 25th will be here fast. Here is the information on
the two day workshop hosted by Interior Designer Debi Weber at the
base of Camel Back Mountain.....talk about inspiration.

I am still looking for Retailers in Utah, Nevada, Alaska and Hawaii.
Please contact me if you are interested in becoming a part of the
CeCeCaldwell family.
Have a great day.....a great life and don't forget to embrace the
moment and tell your family and friends how much they are appreciated
and loved.

I need to sit myself down and bring my posts up to date.
I have destination workshops, Canyon Lake workshops, Ce Ce Caldwell Retailer locations,
products, applications, need I go on, that I need to bring everyone up to date with.
The Holidays are always great fun but this year it totally put me back in my routine
and schedule, maybe that is good....maybe it's Gods way to say, "slow it down" and
"be here now".
It's a New Year......and a busy one already.
Ce Ce Caldwell's Paints are taking off like wild fire, we knew they would since they
are totally green without any acrylic and even the containers are eco-friendly.
Retailers are coming on board in the Western Division as well as throughout the U.S.A.
and Canada. Exciting times.
Instead of rambling....I'm going to post this and ask you to please be patient....I will
get it all together by the weekend....even my website is under construction. Whew.
Enjoy this day....and don't forget to tell your friends and family how much you
love them and appreciate who they are.

Wow, it took four days to figure out what happened and how to get back into my House of Anne blogspot. The only thing I want to caution
is that there are people out there that "borrow" what isn't theirs and totally mess up what was "yours". Enough said, just be aware.
I want to post photo's.....just a little apprehensive, I want to see how this post plays out.
I don't know about you but I am glad 2011 is closed. It was a very exciting year but on the flip side of the coin, a year that demonstrated
to me the true meaning of life. FAMILY.....FRIENDS.......INTEGRITY......COURTESY.....and RESPECT, personal and in business.
Family....I am blessed. Beautiful, smart and creative children (grown) and over the top, grandchildren.
My son Marty, in the Army...serving his country in Afghanistan, with the <b>integrity</b>and wisdom of an American soldier. Doing this all for the love of his family, friends and
country. His awesome family that had to get through the holidays without a husband and dads physical presence...not fun....but done so with pride and faith. I am
so proud of Dawn, Cody, Noah, Hayleyanne and Hannah.
My son Marc, a loyal, patient, respectful man. A quiet man but when he speaks you listen. Amy, Austin and Kate.....wife, son and daughter....a
model American family.
My daughter...Kellyanne. What can I say. She is a woman of strength and resilience....give her a challenge and she steps right up to the plate. A mother of
five children, raising them with fortitude and love of a single parent. Kellyanne has always amazed me and in the past year totally shocked me with her talent for business
and creativity in the world of paint. Although we each paint, teach and create....we do so with competitive products, but it's ok because we respect and
love one another.....nothing of a "material" source can come between us.
I need to mention my husband and friends.......thank you....I love you for letting me be me! My friends have been well entertained through life and my husband, well all I can say is,
"thank you for your patience, respect, support and love". I say "thank you" every morning before I get out of bed.....and I say it again before I slip into a semblance of sleep ( I don't like
to sleep, a waste of time for me....I so love the surprise of each new day".)
Ok...enough! Briefly...I am the Western Distributor for CeCeCaldwell's Paints, Waxes and Products....what is going to happen in the next 90 days will be amazing! GREEN, no acrylic in our paint and NO PETROLEUM in our waxes......safe for children and pets as well as the artisan.
Workshops are scheduled throughout 9 Western states....Retailers in place ready to let the "paint fly" and total excitement in the world of "environmental conscience citizens".

February 17th and 18th there will be a 2 day workshop in Paradise Valley, AZ. Debi Weber, renown Designer will be the host with Anna Sadler, an amazing artisan will be participating in a workshop segment. Information will be posted soon and space will be limited.

I want to address Amy Howard at Home and Annette Tatum.....two talented Designers that I am involved with and representing their beautiful products. I'll do that next time since I'm not
totally sure how this posting will display after the "tampering".
Ok, I test "posted".....let's hope this is good.
I wish you all the most wonderful year of your life. Enjoy NOW.....remember YESTERDAY and TOMORROW's aren't ours.

my blog was hacked into removing the header, gadgets linking to my website and all of
you followers.
I will post this evening the winner for the 21 CeCeCaldwell's Paints and also the
"comped" space for the Paint 'n' Wine Country Workshop in Sonoma on January 26th.
This is not a fun way to start the year but I guess, bygones are bygones and this needs
a new beginning. Please check back later.

My plan was to sit myself down today and tell you all about CeCeCaldwell's Paint, Products and Workshops. Sometimes plans get interrupted and that is what has happened to me. I can either stress about it or roll with the "happenings"....and I choose to roll.<br />
<br />
Our dog "Gus" sliced his foot and lost one of his nails on the Motor Home step. OUCH!<br />
We spent two plus hours at the Vet and have spent the evening just soothing him. Poor guy, not only is his foot bandaged like a sock, he is on pain meds and can't even walk. Try carrying an 111 lb. dog and I thought paint cans were heavy. I am not one to talk about my dogs but I had to share. <br />
<br />
I will post this week, listing all about the workshops, Retailers coming on board in the Western Region and information about CeCeCaldwell's Paints, Waxes and amazing products. Our paint is GREEN and our wax has NO PETROLEUM so it's safe for children and pets. <br />
<br />
21 amazing colors with 12 more being added in the first quarter of 2012. Not only do we have beautiful colors depicting American states, cities, and landmarks we also offer products to help expand your creative world of decorative painting.<br />

I will be gone for a few days but I promise to post early next week to bring you up to date on the world of CeCeCaldwell's Paint as well as the activity in the House of Anne.<br />

Remember, stop and breathe....enjoy the moment, holiday preparation doesn't have to be stressful. It's what we do that stresses ourselves out. STOP and appreciate family, friends and where you are in life. GIVE of yourselves, the best gift of all....GIVE what you have. To someone it may be better than you dare think.<br />
<br />
I will post on Monday the 19th all about CeCeCaldwell's Paints, Products and Workshops as well as where your nearest Retailer can be located.<br />
My GIFT for 2012 is to embrace and practice going GREEN. RECYCLE......RECLAIM.....REFINE.....REFURBISH ....it's "JUST THAT EASY"!<br />
So breathe out there and enjoy the moment.<br />

Clarification to everyone interested in Paint.....CeCeCaldwell's Paint are no VOC, which means GREEN....and the wax has no petroleum. To top it all off, the containers are GREEN too being made out of recycled materials. Yes, you can throw them in the garbage when you use the last drop.<br />
<br />
Whatever is floating around out there, the reason is strictly<b> competition, assumptions </b>and<br />
<b>people that have nothing better to do than to find reason for blame. </b>Remember the Four Agreements,<br />
1. Be Impeccable With Your Word....2. Don't Make Assumptions.....3. Don't Take Things Personal and<br />
4. Do The Best You Can Do. I detest GOSSIP......I put it right in the same category as being a "BULLY"....<br />
<br />
<br />
Have a great Monday everyone.....and be sure and comment so you are qualified to win a space in the 2nd Paint 'n' the Wine Country Workshop.<br />
