Now bizarrely, the bubble baths bit might well apply to me - it was the wine bottles and fruit in the kitchen that wouldn't :)

Congratulations Kathlyn. How nice to think of someone having something you created on their wall because they really like it. :D

Hope the confirmation and lunch went well strep.

Lunch was fine except my best friend and OH don't get on and she spent lunch trying to shock him into submission, and for some reason she can go out looking like the virgin mary and an hour later her boobs are escaping every where, so the Bishop got more than he bargined for at communion, but aside from that all went well.

Congratulations Kathlyn, should we all buy now before you get too famous?

The majority of artists aren't famous until they're dead :lol:

It's taken you this long to get around to it?! :wink: (I have to admit that it looks great, but otherwise I think it's rubbish as an actual game. Then again, having been playing these sort of games since before they had graphics, I probably have different standards.)

I am so pleased you could make sense of that post, Scurra. I thought he was being naughty.

Strep - I love the idea of the escaping boobs at communion (that would surely have brightened it all up and made his day). I bet you're relieved it all went off relatively smoothly!

Kathlyn - how brilliant is that? I'm really impressed! Maybe you could take a picture of one of your paintings and post it so we can see what you're doing? I'd love to see one. I'm about as artistic as a brown paper bag.

Bunny's paperbag and my house with windows in each corner will be exhibited on an Art wall on a childrens programm somewhere near you soon.

Do you think pisces people just can't draw or is it just bunny and I?

I am spectacularly useless at drawing. I remember to this day when I proudly presented my painting of "the solar system and nebulae" to my art teacher, and he said
"What is it, you hag..."
(that's what he always called the girls, this was spat from his crooked, yellow teeth on whisky fumed breath)
"...frogspawn?" :lol:

I like the idea of our exhibition, Strep. I AM good at serving champagne and crudities. Anyone like to come?
