Finger Faux Painting

So as many of you know I got a new job and have a couple of weeks off before I start so I've been really bored and trying to find things to do. When we moved into our house 2 years ago we painted the entire house except for the front "Rotunda" Foyer. We left it alone so that one day we could pay for someone to come in and faux paint it, because we figured we'd mess it up to bad. Anyway I decided that I had nothing to lose by trying. Earlier in the day I put down the base coat and then when it had dried I started the faux process at 7pm. Below is the process that finished at around midnight. It wasn't as hard as I thought- It was just time consuming. After you have the base coat down, you smear a mixture of the darker colored paint and glaze around with your fingers and cheese cloth. Let me know what you think.

Me up on the ladder- This thing goes about 1 1/2 stories high. The ladder was flexing and everything- It took a little getting used to. You can see the test spot around the light switch.

BYU 59- UCLA 0

So as many of you know BYU destroyed UCLA 59-0 on Saturday, so me being the fan that I am I made up these posters to commemorate the moment. I'm interested to see which one you guys like the best. (soory about the underlining- it's being weird and not letting me turn it off)

Feeling Left Out

...NO WE'RE NOT HAVING A KID! or ten for that matter, and if we were it wouldn't be me, it would be Heather. I was just feeling a little left out because everyone else and their dogs had these on their blogs and I wanted to see how many fetuses I could fit in one womb. and besides if they were due on Dec 10, 2010 we wouldn't know that we were pregnant!
