I wanted to share with you what a wonderful gift my friend Kerstin had for me at Christmas. She painted the Wyoming Bucking Horse and Rider.
I didn't have any idea she is able to paint! I'm a person who can't draw/paint anything. If I try to draw a dog for the children, everybody thinks it's a UFO or something :laugh:
I'm totally in awe. It's such a thoughtful and loving gift. I'm very happy about it.

(The crayon color at the wall was my son *grrmphf* . He re-decorated half of the living-room walls >:().

I like the liberties your FRiend took with the Wyoming buckaroo, turning him into a cowgirl!! Nice art work by your friend and your son!!
(The stage will pass eventually, Chrissi!)

Chrissi, we only recently seem to have passed out of crayon and ballpoint pen on the walls.
You and Kerstin are sooo lucky to have each other.

What a thoughtful, great gift from Kerstin! :) You two are lucky to be so in accord about BBM, - it *is* nice to have someone around in RL who feels the same about it. And as for the crayons - it looks almost like your son drew a rainbow on the wall..... and in that sense it fits the BBM theme as well. :D

I totally forgot to mention and show you what I had made as a Christmas gift for her:
Surprise, surprise: it's a BBM-related picture, too. Yep, great minds think alike ;D.
Since I don't have any creative talents, I made a collage from photos of BBM and our Euro-Brokie-meeting in London:

Re my son: yes, I know. We had this stage two times before :-\ . I think every child does it. We contemplated to renovate and repaint our walls next spring, but then decided to wait one more year. It's safer :).
Re Kerstin: You're both right, Clarissa and Mikaela. It's a blessing to have found such a good friend and at the same time a fellow Brokie in one person.

Penthesilea, I am fucking JEALOUS. Congrats. :D

Thank you, bbm_stitchbuffyfan :).
I'm still looking for the best place to hang my pic. Either I put it in our study, next to my BBM-Poster. Then I will have it always in eye-sight when sitting at the computer. But unfortunately barely someone else will see it then.
I guess I'll put it into the living room and hang it very high, so my son can't reach it, even when he climbs on the furniture (sofas and the like - another fun stage ;)).
