I hate when that happens. Do you have a blister on your palm yet? That's where I see it when I paint...wish there was a fairy "painting" godmother.
But I don't want paint everywhere!! LOL! Housecalls huh? You paying me in scrapbook goodies? LOL!scrapsakes wrote: girl, that's what children are for and you make housecalls, right? LOL
No I don't have a blister. My fingers and hand is very sore and my fingers are so stiff.burkecrafts wrote:I hate when that happens. Do you have a blister on your palm yet? That's where I see it when I paint...wish there was a fairy "painting" godmother.
OMG!! I am feeling your pain! WE just recently had work done in our basement and today I started painting the walls to seal out the dampness...I have to keep squishing the paint into all those little holes in the cement....my forearms are killing me!!!---and I didn't even get that much done!!!

I am so happy with the rooms that are done! Marissa's room is painted electric lime. LOL! Very bright. Erik's room is painted Steelers gold and black. I painted one wall black and the other three gold. The living room and front entry are painted polished maple, I love it and it looks so much better then the baby blue that is was painted. LOL! My scrapbook room is going to be painted toffee, the kitchen and dining room will be painted red hot, the master bedroom will be painted a dark dark chocolate brown. The guest bathroom, laundry room and master bath I haven't decided on colors yet.imwickedwitch wrote:Been there done that but you will be so pleased when you can sit and admire your work!
I love painting! I love seeing the room transform so quickly.
Are you doing ceilings? Doing those at my house made me feel like a Pez dispenser because you have to hold your head back forever!

And what GREAT taste!!! Especially the Steelers room!!! I don't know how it happened but neither of my boys are Steelers fans, yet John and I are HUGE Steelers fans. We both grew up in New Jersey on different ends of the state and yet both of us have been Steelers fans since childhood! Both of my sons are DIE HARD Beagles fans! It kills me, especially this year since the Eaglets are doing pretty good. But I knock them down quickly asking them once again, how many rings their team has? Oh, that's right...NONE! LOL!
Oh i think you need to do a little mani & pedi treatment. There are some good hand massages and stretches you can do you self.
Hmm I think that even thought i'm not a doctor you need some scrap therapy.

Not to be confused with ATG hand cramps which just make me happy!
The paint roller cramps usually come with a tired back and shoulders too!
Hope the house is looking awesome and starting to feel like home!
