Hey Tony, Mal here is in Brisbane. He published a clock cartoon of mine just two weeks after my blog went up. What a thrilling beginning. Perhaps say “hi” since you are practically neighbors.
Good point…. I painted outdoor today it was freezing and funny enough more brownies…. I don’t know how to pass this stage, any tips… How about a pass code.. We used them years ago for our computer’s game I think they called ‘cheat’…
Cool! Nearby energy food is a must when making Christmas ornaments! Especially those cookies! I have used paperclips to hang ornaments. Not so pretty, but they work! 🙂
If we hide the brownies for awhile, this would be a great project for kids on Christmas vacation from school. (I’ll have one of those brownies please, just pass it here under the table, ssh.)
