Color Me Holly

Looks good, Marg. The red paper is beautiful.

Heidi, I can't wait to see.

I would turn the progam off and then try to upload something to see if that is the cause, like Ina suggests.

I would say glad it was you and not me, but we got snow yesterday too. While it is pretty I don't like it much. It is 8 degrees, with the windchill it is -2 right now. Please be careful!

Looks good, Glen! So are you going to haunt it? With your jack of all trades mini skills it should be amazing.

I like DDs Gifts, too. I haven't ordered many minis from ebay though. I do window shop a lot.

It looks really good. Izzy will like it. I have two thoughts for the entry. One, leave it as is and update it later after it has been well loved. Two, install wainscotting. With the color you have there (and the way it looks on my screen) a light stain would look good with it.

I am happy to hear that you are home and doing well.

What a great idea, Deb! I love the beach scene. They are both great. Thanks for sharing.

I personally wouldn't take it. I did however go watch and read some articles about propranolol and how it was being tested. I am under the distinct impression that one is disconnected from the emotions of the tramatic event; that it isn't forgotten. It maybe beneficial to some who suffer from PTSD. People have been taking this medicine for years for high blood pressure and they still know what has happened to them. I really don't think this is going to be a MIB where they flashy thing someone in pill form and totally forget who they are. When Ella had her laceration from a fall stitched up they gave her ketamine. She remembers falling, being at the hospital, etc., but she doesn't remember the pain and she didn't complain about pain afterward. In fact she laughs and says that she bounced. IMO, the medical community should research this to its full potential. With all things good there are some who will use it for bad. With further studies and the advances in modern medicine it may be possible to erase memories, in my opinion, that would be wrong.

Dean fixed my blog options. I can now choose a skin! Thanks Dean!

I had Mabyn(15) read this before she ran out the door for school. She said "Yep, the money is hers, but if she is going to be living at home while she is finishing school she should help out. Its the mature thing to do." Mabyn's birthday is at the end of the school year. We have talked about this before, if she is going to live here after highschool she needs to pay for 1/6 of the housing, utilities and food. She doesn't have a job now, but wants to get one next summer. Mabyn has a cell phone and cats. She does the extra chores that I hate to do to pay for her 1/3 of the bill and cat stuff and extra money. Back when she had a paper route she paid for everything the cats needed.

I don't think you're wierd, imaginative is more like it. I once found a roll of border wallpaper that had a space theme. It could be used for a mural in the space room. I think I saw it a one of the Dollar Stores around here. A few years ago during the Mars rover prep, NASA had a site where you could submit names to be copied to a CDs to go to Mars. I have my kids' Certficates(both going and landed) with their names around here somewhere. They are on a CD somewhere.

I wish you Good Luck, Cat. I know many people who have done it with mixed results. I don't have any experience with it. I met Mike at a party while on a date with one of his friends. Two days later he had a party at his house and made sure I was invited.

Congrats on your win, Sandra!

Greg, its beautiful! Whats to be nervous about?

Ellen, I will keep you in my thoughts Tuesday.

Thats cute. I had been watching for it since Heidi mentioned it be still hadn't seen it.

Happy Birthday!

Looks good, Jackie! The little nursery is adorable. I love the solarium, too. Great job on the nurses mini, too.

Please do! I talked to Mike today. He thinks he will be home Wedensday. We shall see. It would be nice to just get out of town for a bit. :yes:

That is an intresting idea. I can't wait to see it.

Wow, Melanie! Its great. I wish all the entrants good luck with the contest.

I generally sand the edges of each piece. I don't do the flat sides unless it looks like it needs it.
