I've got some good news

And some bad news …

Let’s start with the bad news. Before I complete your registration, you MUST confirm your email. It’s easy.

STEP 1: check your email for a message from Stephen Byrne with the message “Real Glass Painting – You’re Almost Done!”.

STEP 2: click the confirmation link in that email.

If you don’t do this right now, you won’t receive anything else from me. Why? I do this because I need to weed out fake emails.

Now for the good news …

Once you confirm your email, you’re all set. You’ll gain access to what you asked for and you can get started.

Note: if you don’t receive the email within 5 minutes, check your spam folder. Sometimes spam robots make mistakes and put my emails there. Silly robots.

Thank you.
