Double Threads

I've been busy and the others haven't been posting so I am going to post the color for the week ending tomorrow and the week starting sunday. In honor of July 4th I figured that this would be a better way to have a themed series of posts.

Twilight Blue (19-3936) and Aurora Red (18-1550) are our latest themes!

summer posts

since its summer time, we're going to be spending more of our time enjoying the outdoors instead of cooped up in front of our computers... i'll choose a final blue for the last week of june tomorrow.
