Alrighty then....four gold medals from what I can see....all perfect 10"s....now see how easy that was when you gave it a chance. you have met all challenges and the first to do so and with that distinction one more gold you shall receive. Great works and I really like the way you tied your emotions into ones that I felt in my offerings to start. Three cheers to you. |

Wow four with one blow. You could head to head with the Brave Little Tailor. I don't know if anyone can match that I'm certainly not going to try. I particularly liked the Shot btw. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |
