HI! after lots of procrastinating and participating in other jams I FINALLY finished my game!

![download](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/a/4/a46f326825bfbc082fbf2b3ebc0f1869cdb67d35.gif)

Its a cozy game where you create paintings in a cozy cabin while it snows.  
you can save AND load paintings, so don’t worry about losing them!  
I know there was a ton more I wanted to add to this game but idk, whenever I’m not happy with something I never finish it, so might as well post it before I’m unhappy with it!
