Adrienne,

I've heard it's been dumping rain in the Bay Area. I don't care what the weather is...I'm still homesick for San Francisco.

I took my daughter to the dentist on Tuesday (before all that Halloween candy works it's way through her teeth) and his whole office was decorated for Christmas. Cheesy fake tree and all. I was astonished.

Time to take down all the Halloween decorations this weekend but I'm definitely NOT ready for Christmas yet.

I had a couple local merchants ask me about holiday window designs last year. I use to do a lot of windows for permanent advertisement with One Shot, but have never tried the holiday temp. work. I read somewhere this could be done with latex paints? Someone also told me once that adding Elmer's glue to tempera paints would work, but I wasn't sure about that.

I will do a search of the BB and Signcraft for more advice, but if anyone would like to share their personal experiences, I would greatly appreciate the input.

Thanks.
Pam

It's a Thanksgiving rush here.

A lot of the area businesses are dependant on the winter ski season and want things in place by then since the ski mountains open at that time.

We got a dusting of snow late Friday and the die hard skiers are already getting wound up.

You can do it all with latex and acrylics....

Ppl will appreciate not having to scrap off enamels for a temp window too.

Don't do the elmer's glue and poster paint thing [Roll Eyes] pul-eeeeze!!

Some basics are on my web site at:

At the risk of having a brush jammed up both nostrils and my ears filled with paint - is anybody doing window splashes in vinyl?
