Hey Mermaid...have you seen this?:biggrin:

I have to admit I never even noticed the mermaid on Starbuck's coffee cups! I'll have to stop and get a cup of coffee on the way home from work tonight just to see what the commotion is all about :floor:

Beach Jacket is a well brought up daughter to be so considerate of her mother's friends. :clap_1:

Every time I go into the Seagrove Village Market, I look at all those mermaid children's books and have to slap myself to stop from buying one! My own daughter said to me about the mermaids--"Stop it Mama. You're going to scare people with all this mermaid stuff. You're getting like those old ladies who have cats...except you have mermaids." OUCH OUCH OUCH!!! (It's obvious I have a daughter who doesn't hold back, isn't it? :lol: )
Thanks (re BJ). And big ouch (re your daughter)! :lol:

Don't laugh, but when I was in Trader Joe's last week I impulsively bought mango tortilla chips. They were like you. Salty and sweet at the same time :biggrin: .

Aww, thanks! Another mermaid thing-- I did myself as a mermaid a few years ago! (I could make one of you... a better one, as I've gotten more detailed over the years... if you'd like ;-))

yeah, Dbuck's in the house. :clap_1: BTW-love the tar. Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers. Matter of fact, I had one so big it looked like a tree trunk and MAN-go had to use the chain-saw to get it out. :lol:

BJ- love the graphic design of the Mermaid. :clap_1: Sweet of you to offer to make one for Mermy. :wub:

I like them too. Sunflowers are pretty in summer and fall flower arrangements. Dbuck's not going to be in the house much longer, feeling a little :sleeping: .

Wow! That's amazing. :clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1: Let me know if you get bored on Christmas break. I'd love to have you make one of my daughter. She's turning 13 in December and she would love it. She saw your mom's avatars a while ago and has done some experimenting herself.

Beach Jacket, we like goofy around here. I think you are really talented. Your mother once posted a picture you'd done while you were at MIT, the view out of your dorm window. It was a great city scene.

Yes to a mermaid. Of course! Have you seen the virtual tour Kurt did of our little condo? There are all kinds of mermaids there. Yours would be in good company. :razz:
