It’s a prophetic thing. : )
As promised, here is the video of the winner of our 20 fee cookies drawing for May 20th. Thanks for participating!
Time to celebrate! 20 years ago in April we started in our home certified kitchen as Brookie’s Cookies.
I have been threatening to paint our dull, dingy family room for quite some time now, but certain members of the family like the status quo, and I like certain family members; hence the long-standing stand-off on the delicate subject of painting.
But now I am casting off the restraining restraint of status and his partner in crime, quo to bask in the glorious freedom of making a unilateral, uninformed, independent decision. Not totally uninformed; I have some colors in mind. But I am not sure where to put which colors, and so will decide by experimentation and possibly, the luck of the draw.
I love doing it this way; you choose a wall and then, wearing a good, sturdy blindfold (actually this part is optional) you mix up all of your paint cans and then choose one randomly. This becomes the color you put on your first wall. Proceeding from there, the room becomes a one-of-a-kind, creatively conceived imaginarium!
Ok, I confess, that is not really how I intend to do it. But it still sounds like a good plan, when you don’t yet have a plan in place, since you’ve been using the family room as a sick room for a week, and that’s what you are, sick of the color of the very paint in this room that has suddenly become unimaginably boring and dull!
But I digress; I ventured out to Walmart and just “happened” to be looking at paint chips. I found the most luscious color combinations, and decided then and there that I was going to take the plunge and update the tired old color scheme of our family room.
So—who wants to help me paint?
