Wow, people actually get "That's nice, dear" comments? I could have said that I can't remember that any of my friends or family have ever said anything like that... but my youngest Daughter was talking to me via MSN one day and when she asked what I was doing, I told her I had just posted an image of what I was working on - nowhere near finished, just posted for comments and help - and blow me down with a feather but she put a (rather nice) comment in the gallery! Your kids can still surprise you, even when they are grown up and about to have a baby of their own... amazing. But that's it, no comments from Mum or Husband - although I think Mum liked the oil painting I once did of my Father and eldest Daughter playing chess in the garden... But then it was a Christmas present so she couldn't help but say thanks. Maybe one day I will get good enough.... Fran
