Comment: hello! thanks for the lovely comments! hooray for slash shipping! thanks for the movie recommendation! i will definitely try and find it and check it out! thank you again! happy swapping!

Comment: Thank-you :)

Comment: Thank you for the comment. Sorry that I have so much info. I tend to go overboard but you have to admit that no one can say that they can't figure out my likes, dislikes, and what type of person I am. I have been in swaps and read profiles and wondered because there was to little info and think what I was going to send the person....I am sure you have been there before. Thanks for the encouragment when it comes to painting but I think I will stick with nature for now. Humans seem to be more complex to paint. At least if you paint something you don't like with nature you can paint over it by adding a tree of something unlike humans.

Comment: Thanks so much for the lovely comment, I feel like I am finding my feet on this site now and starting to find some friends! Xx

Comment: Thanks for the sweet comment!
