Now that I've finished Caitlin's new bedroom I have 14 test pots looking for a new home. All have between 1/4 and 1/2 left in them. Some are 3rd hand so are quite gloopy but still work fine (thanks to Jacquie for the test pots and thanks to all the lovely people who gave me their vouchers  )
Here are the colours (all Resene) Yabbadabbadoo 
Witch Haze 
Tickled Pink 
Splat 
Solitaire 
Rubber Duck 
Prelude 
Monza (more of a brighter true red than this pic shows) 
Hopskotch 
Grass Stain (why'd this come up so huge?!?!?!?) 
Gob Stopper 
Giggle 
Cupid 
Here's a couple of photos of the room so you can see what I did with the colours

all your's hun
And thanks for the comments. I'm not that good at art at all and just copied some basic butterfly shapes onto the walls LOL I am really happy with the way it turned out though. At each stage I was worried to add more through fear of ruining it all so it nearly ended up just sky and hills LOL STILL waiting on the furniture to arrive!  But Harvey Norman have assured me it will be tonight - what time though? Midnight is still tonight! 
I'd love to do this sort of thing for a living as long as someone else did all the prep work and washed the paint brushes and rollers afterwards ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| I had the same problem with Harvey Norman's delivering Alyssa's bed a couple of weeks ago.. They said it would be here between 11am-12pm but when it wasn't here after 12pm I called and was told the truck was taking longer on a job than expected and wouldn't be here until 4pm...still nothing and by the time they did arrive it was about 8pm... The guys looked really knackered so I spared them an earful (which is so unlike me).. |

when I called this morning they said we would be last as their base is out West. I've called them twice today so they know I want it today/tonight. I don't mind it being late as C had a really long nap so will still be up at 8pm (unfortunately ) I'd be REALLY p'd off if they woke up her though. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
