Hodgepodge Questions-Volume 529

Here are the questions to this week's Wednesday Hodgepodge. Answer on your own blog, then jump back here tomorrow to share answers with the rest of Santa's elves. See you there-

1. What's one fun thing on your December calendar? 

2. Sherwin William's Color of the Year for 2024 is Upward, described as 'a hint of silver lining', 'a breezy blissful blue' (see sample here). Benjamin Moore's Color of the Year for 2024 is Blue Nova, where 'violet and blue come together in a sumptuous hue'. (see sample here) Valspar's Color of the Year for 2024 is Renew Blue, a balanced blue with a touch of grayed sea -green' (see sample here). 

Seems like the design world is keen on the color blue for the new year. Do you have a lot of blue in your home decor currently? What shade? Of the three colors listed which one's your favorite? Do you need to paint? How likely is it you'd select one of these shades for your home? Which one? 

3. Do you struggle with 'the seasonal blues'? What are some things you do to try to beat the blues? 

4. Blue jeans...love 'em or no? How many pair do you own? Are you married to a particular brand? 

5. In terms of holiday preparation (baking, shopping, wrapping, mailing, meal planning, etc) how far along are you? 1=haven't given it a second thought, 10=nothing left to do but wait. 

6. Insert your own random thought here.
