I love the painting and am in awe of your talent as a painter. I was not blessed with that talent and am always a little envious (in a good way) of those who can do so :nod (I have a sister who can paint and I remember loving to sit and watch her)
Oh, a picture would be great! Okay, thank you!
I'm really glad you loved it :grin: Watching people paint is one of the coolest feelings ever, just seeing stuff come to life :wiz

This has made my week!!!

Fantastic Warehouse 13 quote! I love it!! Whenever I smell fudge I always get suspicious ;)

Love the crochet wash cloths!! I am in awe over your neatness! I doubt i'd ever get to your superb standards!!!

Brilliant idea with the coasters!! Really cool!! I was in two minds whether to use them or not because I didn't want to spoil them!! But somehow the black mage is in my living room and the chocobo is by my bed!! I may have to just frame the other two!! Golly you must have a steady hand!!!

Thankyou sooooo much!

I shall put pictures up at the weekend :)

Well, I got some of the best mail ever form Ellentje today! Every item inside was so AWESOME! I don't even know where to begin, but I'll give it a try.

First was a fun Geeky math stitch since I have a math degree.

Next was an Adventure Time Stitch, which happened to have my favorite character (the ice king) right in the middle. I just purchased season 4 this week too!

Then we come to the Best Apron ever. A PUNCH Out Apron! I've been cooking a ton recently, and this is going to get some major miles on it quickly.

And I think My favorite of all was the Futurama Brain Slug Plushie! It even attacked me!

This was really Awesome. Had a pretty bad day yesterday, and this has really made the crap of yesterday seem less significant. I also got a Postcard from Ellentje's town in Netherlands, a bookmark, and some nijntje lucky charms! Here's a picture of all the Swag that come in this Awesome Package. I cant thank you enough!

You have a good eye! Some buddies and I in 2007 took a trip to Chicago with the sole purpose of seeing a game at wrigley field. I've been to prob. 100+ Braves games in Atlanta, but that Cubs game was one of the best games I've ever been to. The cubbies won in the 9th after a runner stole home on a wild pitch. And they were filming the dark knight while I was there too. One of the better trips I've been on.

My dad and brother are huge Cubs fans (though my brother also roots for the Royals as he now lives in KC. He's friends with Jimmy, the guy who was famous last year), so I'm quick to notice anything Cubs-like. I'm usually not that attentive to sports, but I root for the Cubs and Royals. :) And good to hear they won. Doesn't happen as often as I would like...

According to the tracking number, my gifts were delivered on the 6th. I'm sure you've just been busy swappee, but I just want to make sure they made it there safely. :)
(Also, I'm sorry that I didn't get to frame the bigger one!)

I am super jealous of that Brain Slug Plushie! Really great job making that Ellentje!
