that's one doodle that can't be undid Home Skillet!

I painted my wall! And boy howdy is it ever GREEN! You know the Chintz & Co. wall? Well, now it's in my dining room! Russ is totally going to freak!!

It was a lot of work: I don't like rollers so I did the whole wall with a brush. And with Lucas "helping" it was a very stressful first coat. But after the little guy went for his nap, I went at it again and it took much less time.

It covered the ugly purple pretty well, but I still might have to do a third coat, just to make sure. I don't think I'm going to put it anywhere else...it is way too heavy a colour for my little entryway and hallway. But I am definitely excited for the other colours I picked: Garlic Clove for the rest of the DR/LR, and Feather Gold(??) for the kitchen. But I think next time I'll buy a drop cloth and use a roller! And send Lucas somewhere for the day!!

I really don't feel like doing any scrapping today...but I have to get my Techneek done for the blog. I learned on the weekend that people actually read it!! Plus I've got two Riff Raff projects to finish. Have I mentioned that I am very excited about the September shapes? I'm so excited that I want to share my good fortune with you..

Woot!!
