Twelve Days of Painting

What a great gift!

Twelve days of painting?  Are you kidding me?

Just to put your mind at ease, your painting project should not take 12 days.

Mine however is a different story.  Instead of the usual holiday song,  I made up my own  version sung to the tune of, you guessed it …

_______________

I admit it.  I am a push over for Christmas.  I love the sights, the sounds, the smells, and I   love the holiday colors! The rich reds, greens, metallics and shimmery hues inspire me to paint!

What?  Really?  Another thing which inspires me to paint?  Say it isn’t so!

I admit that painting a room in a color just for the holidays is a bit excessive (even for me).  I am on a 2 year painting rotation,  not a 1 year — yet…

So what do you do if you need a little holiday cheer but don’t want to do anything permanent?

Painting & Turkeys

Help!

In just a few short weeks the holiday craziness will begin.   I have a rather long list of things to get done before company comes and hope I have enough time to get everything accomplished!  I am counting on some help from family members so we will see how far I get.  (Hint, hint, family members who may be reading this…)

It has been recent tradition to have Thanksgiving at our house.  We used to go to a restaurant for feasting but when I   married my darling husband, it all changed.  “You do what for Thanksgiving?  Why?  How can you live without leftover turkey sandwiches? What about the football games?”  So we finally volunteered to host it at our house.

Paint Colors for Halloween

mmm...

It’s almost Halloween!

I know in my last post I was a bit frantic about getting my touch up done before the holidays.  Well, the cleaning and touch- up program at my house has stalled.  Well, it never really got going–mostly due to lack of participation (okay, due to absolutely no participation) and the emergency costume making session last weekend.

“It’s time.”  I stated to my husband last evening.

“It’s time for what?” he asked, half paying attention to me  (perhaps in the hopes that I would just go away).   Oh no, my friend.  You would be mistaken.

“It’s October,” I replied, hoping those words would be enough of a reminder of what is to come.

New Year’s Resolution

I hope it’s not too late to talk about starting the New Year off with a painting project.

I don’t know about you, but I  barely made it until midnight on New Year’s Eve.    I did stay awake long enough to make a resolution or 2.  Along with the usual eat healthier, lose a couple of pounds and be a kinder person, I vowed to become more organized.  I have long admired those meticulously straightened, labeled, containerized spaces featured in various magazines.  So this year I am going to get my house whipped into shape.
