Why is it I can't post without adding pictures?

After searching through a gazillion different colors, we thought we'd found one that would work well for our basement and it did--during the daylight hours. Nice cheerful color, eh?

The catch is that it only looks like that with sunlight--add in artificial light and it turns a sickly greenish shade that was just a tad scary. So lucky us, we got to go back to the drawing board and start all over again. I think we found a better color this time around and I didn't hate it when we finished so that's a hopeful sign, lol.

This last week a snowstorm came through and gave us some gorgeous snow. The downside is that it took Seth four hours on the bus to make it home that day. Poor Seth. :( But he did get the next day and a half off so that helped a little to make up for it. It was kind of crazy with downed trees across the roads and power outages in the area but we didn't run into any major problems and I think most of the people in our ward survived without too much difficulty.

And a pic of our house covered in snow a few days after it fell. It stuck around for a good four days I think.

After a suspicious start, Cuda decided that she liked eating snow and had a blast sliding around on her belly chomping it up like a canine snowplow. :P


While it was freezing out, I got in some good time on the bookmarks I've been trying to get done before Christmas. I think these ones came out pretty well but show that I've got to find a way to get them done faster since I've got a LOT more to get done before the holidays. :D
