Dear Santa, I have no idea if I've been good or not this year. My hubbie says not but everybody else says I'm real nice so I should believe them, right? Anyway, what I'd really like is that nice JD 4010 that's sitting on the lot in Shelbyville. I know we offered them less than what they wanted but that's how it's done isn't it? It sure would look good in my barn. I could go down to TSC and get one of those nice tillers to go on the back and maybe even a front end loader for it. It sure would make lining out a heck of a lot easier. I could put a bunch of manure on the ground and till it in real good. Please, Santa, PLEEAASSE???? Janet

/PPG. I guess we need to get you prepped for your first Aleya purchase then! ^_~ My answers are: 1. The BIG bag of 500 dragonfly clips. Somehow I can never quite justify spending $50 on dragonfly clips, but seriously, dragonfly clips are like gold to me. Ruby and diamond encrusted gold. 2. A top of the line lighting setup! And a RO system! And a cloner! 3. C! Totally C. I'd give my eye teeth to be hooked up to and have the contents of CB's brain dumped into mine. And maybe Bruce Lee's, too, while I was at it, so that when people disagreed with my identifications I could just threaten them with a dreaded one-inch punch.

Wow! You are really painting up a storm, Phonegirl. Three projects in such a short time! Photobucket has been acting up lately and the "click to enlarge" sometimes doesn't work. We can try back later, and maybe it will be working. I like to know what artist's designs inspire a project too. And I love to see how each painter makes little changes and adds their own personal touch. I do that allot, but mine is usually just to "simplify" it a bit! Sometimes my final project will hardly resemble the original one--more from my lack of skill than any desire on my part to paint it differently! LOL So are these little angels going to be gifts for someone? I sure need to get busy on painting some more gift items too. So glad you are painting and sharing with us--hopefully it will shame me into getting busy so I'll have something to share soon too! ;o) Luvs
