Finding motivation and inspiration in my work is a complete Blessing to me. Around every Chalk Couture Corner I find joy in the huge things and especially in the small things. Sometimes, it is simply our corporate leaders’ attention to the minute details propelling my progressing success. Other times it is in the personal touches that make each one of us feel special. I feel very fortunate and at home with Chalk Couture.
Our Chalk Couture Leadership Conference was last month and it completely touched my soul. Each interaction with the corporate team made me feel as if we had known each other since childhood. Even as a first time attendee, I was quite surprised at how comfortable it felt to be there with people I had never met in person.
For reasons (at first) unknown, the Chalk Couture Spring Summer 2020 Collection release felt very personal. Each of the designs seemed to hold some kind of meaning for me. Each quote or verse evoked a memory or a chuckle. The profound influence of nature in the designs also brought back many amazing memories. Call me weird, but I was so reminded of why I fell in love with my husband in these new designs.
I suspect a partial reason for why I felt such immense connection with the entire collection is that I had the honor of meeting our Chalk Couture Art Director, Eric Clegg.
Just imagine having the opportunity to peruse the carefully curated collection of complete artistry all in one room. A stunning symphony of creativeness fills the entire space. Add to that imagery, the thrill of the orchestrating Maestro being in that same room, taking a few moments to chat with you. This is a special memory that will stay with me. It all felt quite surreal and was a definite ‘moment’ for this gal.
This post began as a segway into introducing a Chalk Couture Transfer that spoke to me and encouraged motivation and inspiration. There are absolutely many stunning designs that I am anxious to own and create for my own art. This particular transfer design is very direct and to the point. I usually take the long route to saying what I mean, but this message is perfect and concise.
Motivation and Inspration
Y’all, I really am completely IN LOVE with the February Club Couture Subscription! Like SERIOUSLY! Now don’t get me wrong. I have been smitten with all of the Club Couture subscription transfer designs in the past. This new true love of the February Club Couture Subscription “box’ is like … uhhhhh… wellll….. it’s a super-fantastic-extra-special-completely-awesome-transfer kind of happy mail!
Okay enough.. before I get into all the specifics of subscribing, let’s just take a look at some of our Independent Designers’ HOME creations!
Subtle, muted colors lend a feel of farmhouse chic to this exquisite presentation of our February Club Couture Subscription.
Spring is bustin’ a move with these lovely pastel Chalkology Paste Colors which are ncluded with your February Subscription.

Another brilliant February Club Couture project created by a fellow Independent Designer.
Did you know that my Chalky Gals V.ery I.mportant F.riends members also get some extra ‘perks’ for being a Club Couture Subscriber?
Have you ever wondered about how Chalk Couture really works? If your response is a resounding YES, then I am your Chalky Gal!
I am happy to announce that I now offer two types of Chalk Couture “Try Me” Kits . That’s TWO NEW FUN opportunities to get your Chalk Groove movin’ .
When I first joined Chalk Couture, I didn’t have the opportunity to sample or try the products beforehand. I did not know a local Independent Designer, nor did I think to even ask if such a thing was available. Luckily, Chalk Couture now provides Designers with the tools to make our own Sample/ “Try Me” Kits.
Either of the special “Try Me” mini bundles is not only the perfect sampling to explore some Chalk Couture craftiness, but also the perfect little gift for just about everyone!!
The contents of the Basic Chalk Couture “Try Me” Kit contains…
The retail value of this Basic Try “Try Me” is $7.00 plus tax/shipping
These adorable drawstring bags are decorated using our Chalkology Inks and Reusable Silkscreen Transfers.
The upgraded ‘Talk Chalky to Me’ Chalk Couture Try Me Kit includes:
The retail value of the Talk Chalky To Me Upgraded Try Me Kit is $13 plus tax/shipping.
Now that you have the basics, allow me to share how you may soon find one in your mailbox! I invite you to join my V.ery I.mportant F.riends Facebook Group, where you may just happen upon a “Try Me” Special Offer. ( You see, company policy prohibits me from sharing any discounts/specials publicly, so only my VIF Group members gets to see the ‘cool’ stuff.)
If you prefer, you can friend request me on Facebook at Jana Zuercher or you may use this contact form.
Personally, I am never one to pay full retail when I know I can find my way to a discount or freebie, therefore, I would never expect you to either! I am looking forward to hearing from you!
It is the time of year for all the end of year specials and This Chalky Gal is definitely jumping on that offer bandwagon. Offering specials to my V.ery I.mportant F.riends Group members is ALWAYS so much fun, but this end of year blowout is the best I have offered all year long. Unfortunately, Chalk Couture policy prevents me from publicly presenting my specials to you here, but never fear! Join my Chalky Gals VIF (very important friends) Facebook Group to get the scoop.
If you have never tried Chalk Couture, the new year is a perfect time to give it a try. Whether you consider yourself crafty or feel you don’t have a crafy bone in your body, Chalk Couture is about the simplest, most unique and beautiful craftiness I know. A few weeks ago, I had 9 and 11 year olds using our reusable silkscreen transfers and Chalk Paste for the very first time. The entire process took only minutes and ended up with two perfect artsy projects for their rooms.
I would never encourage anyone to wait for an End of the Year Special to give Chalk Couture a try. Of couse since it is here now, I am definitely saying that it is time! This is the best special I have offered since joining this amazing company, so why not take advantage of it. End of the Year Specials don’t come around each month, right?
Chalk Couture has the perfect way to start the new year beautifully with our Creative Kickstart campaign. The Blooming Botanicals Transfers offers two Transfer designs that work well individually or side-by-side (like Chalk Stories™). Whether you already love to create or have been wanting to find a new creative outlet, the Choose Happy or Live Your Dreams Kickstarter Kits are the perfect creative Christmas present to yourself.
Naughty or Nice? You made your list and checked it twice. It’s your opportunity to turn the tables with a little ‘self-gifting’ and pick up a few gifts just for you. Because you deserve it, start your year off on a hip note of creativitness and positivity with either choice of our Blooming Kickstarter Kits.

One of the most popular Chalk Couture Transfers of the Season, The Elf has been making his rounds to all the fun chalkers’ homes this season. DIY Christmas Decor is super easy and fun. Check out this Facebook Live recording of the The Elf Made Me Do It Chalk Couture project.

Here it is. As unimaginative (on my part) as it is, in hopes of brightening your day, I am offering up Motivational Monday inspiration to start the week in grand fashion.
I have no earth-shattering, self authored wisdom to depart this Monday, but I DO have quite a collection of favorite sayings and quotes. Today I share them with you.
Please feel absolutely free to ‘borrow’… ‘steal’….or ‘share’ any of these graphics as you please.
Whether it is Motivational Monday or any other simple day of the week, we sometimes need that one quick moment to change the direction the day is headed. We have that control over our own attitudes.
Whether we are the happy-go-lucky type of being or a complete ‘control freak’ there will always be a time in which we should just surrender, have faith, and move on with our lives. As difficult as it seems, there is a sense of calm that usually follows that release of ‘what was’.
Challenging ourselves is often times all it takes to break the rut, pushing us to grow beyond imagination. I personally have a slight fear of doing Facebook Lives. I don’t know why (well, actually I do but that is another post for another time) but I do know no matter what I need to just do it scared. Our Chalkpreneurs TEAM members will tell you that I preach this continually. Growth comes from stepping toward that that makes us feel insecure or afraid.
We all have naysayers amongst us. The solution to overcoming their words is simple. Say thank you and then move on! Having a sense of humor and desire for adventure can be very rewarding.
Luck? What is luck? Success comes from putting forth continual effort until the task is complete.
So, what is YOUR favorite motivational reminder?
A Motivational Monday Collection can also be found on my growing Pinterest Board at That Chalky Gal.
