Pre-Thanksgiving Weekend

Since I have to work all of Thanksgiving weekend (and I mean ALL...Thurs-Sun), Lon and I have been blessed by Mother Nature with gorgeous weather and four days off together.  We have played, watched college football, put up Xmas decorations, wrapped presents (yes, I am almost done) and painted.  The weather was nice enough to open doors/windows and we painted.  You may remember from our earliest pics of Cabinooga that they had a very sad baby blue painted on several walls.  A baby blue we were not fond of from Day 1.  Today we changed that.  We chose Hazy Stratus from Valspar and we LOVE it!!!  Here are some 'before' pics.  Will take some 'after' pics tomorrow and post them.  I still have to work on the trim, so don't expect 'after' pics for a day or so...

Wow...the cabin looks so nice and clean when it's empty...the baby blue also went up on the balcony (over kitchen).  I can't wait you to show the new and improved!

Happy Turkey Day!!!

Halloween 2012

Yes, I know...that was two weeks ago.  But I got to do 'gory' for the first time...too fun!  Here's my unzipped Christmas elf.  What do you think???

Note the pointy ears, too!

The blood looked really good when it was shiny, but it kept drying.  Guess that's good for keeping it off my clothes, huh?

Check out the crazy boots Mom found for me at the thrift store!

Sorry for the delay in getting these posted.  Had a blast at a friend's Halloween party and the 'zipper' was a big hit!  Also, helped Mom with her Halloween party the weekend before, but my outfit at her party was much more tame...hard to really call it a costume.  Check it out:

Yeah...we were hippies.  :)  Our original costumes of garden gnomes were way too hot for the warm AL October evening.  

Thanksgiving is next week already (I'm working...yay.)  And before you know it Christmas will be here!  Been working on my crafties (decor and gifts).  Pinterest has been a HUGE help.  Til next time...
