It's still framed in my kitchen.<br /><br />The Elephant's Child -<br /><br />I'll bet the neighbor did love getting your artwork. Still - it's always sad when children aren't made to feel cherished, I think. And always feel say how you feel here.

At least it should be kept because I have no doubt Lorenzo is going to be famous one day.<br /><br />You probably meant the dog was roaming around "outside" the house but it sounded like she found this dog roaming inside her house. Now that would be a shocker. Yep, she better name the dog. That's what we did with Slim.<br /><br />It's Peeps for me at Easter time. They MUST be fresh ones, however.

My mother, who was over children's artwork, told me that 'the poor lady up the road doesn't have any children and would love your painting/paper mache creation'. It worked. I gave her all my artwork for years. And I was in my twenties before it occurred to me that it was more about mama not wanting more children's artwork than about the neighbours wants/needs. I love that your friend keeps them.<br />Sorry for the loooong comment.
