unexpected snow day!

The forecast called for cold, dry weather (or so I thought!) so on this, the last day of 2012 I planned to put the primer coat of paint on bootsy star. The professional at Miller Paint told me that I would need four dry days in a row to paint. First prime, then wait a day, then paint, then a day to dry. I thought it would be the perfect week to paint! I headed out this morning after a few errands. The Miller guy said I should paint between 10am-2pm in the winter to maximize daylight and 'heat' for drying. I thought that would be no problem, giving me an hour per side of the shop.
The first wall and a half went fine, but then the snow started. I hoped for just a few flakes and pressed on. I had to stop when my paint try started to fill with snow.

Well, at least I got a little bit done. I won't complain that my afternoon will be spent in front of a warm fire with french onion soup and my dogs. Oh...I will also look around online for some flooring......

 In other new, at home depot this morning I came across these fun items. The holiday stuff is all 50% off so I picked up these 'super sphere' lights for $3.74 each and the packs of bulbs for $3.00 each! I think I might hang the super sphere lights in bootsy star and the ornaments are for the outside christmas trees of years passed. Fun!
