    Here is my bedroom zebra - ain't he so cool? (yes I have a red bedroom but only two of the walls are red, don't panic)

    Oh Levi it is gorgeous!! I MADE one... for my friends Christmas present. On Linen paper, with another friends super cool font wizardry, she put together a picture I love, of a painted Zebra, and some words that sum us up ;) I will hunt out the pic and take over with yet more animals :D xx

    Wow, that's red alright!

    It's awesome :)

    I feel a little left out I don't have a zebra now...:(
    I have a wooden giraffe, an elephant (belonged to my grandparents) and a super-cool funky bear with no arms that I bought in Canada, does that count???

    Woah, amazing zebra-ness, made more amazing by the fact that YOU MADE IT.

    Feeling a total fraud as mine came off a market stall a few years ago and cost a tenner :D

    Wow Lilty, you made that?? That's beautiful. I'm guessing you're a creative type too. Have you ever thought about selling on Etsy? You could make a fortune, PM me if you want any info xx

    And pic will follow when I get home :D

    Ha I can't take the credit, I found the zebra picture online and just made it look different and added quotes. I gave up my creativity years ago. I make cards and pictures and random things but I lack the patience to make lots of things :D I wish I could find something I enjoyed. I love drawing but I just can't find the time. I did a course on garden design and then gave up on that too :rotfl: short attention span!! xx

    Oh I love garden design too, considered doing a course, but never got round to it. :o

    You need to find your *thing* Mrs, it could even be a great 2nd income for you. That's how my little business started and it skyrocketed, providing an income which matches my employment salary, but I make that within 3 or 4 months of the year, working evenings etc. It's hard work, but the money is good and I really hope to develop in the future when funds and time (and the will, presently!) permit.
    I'm very aware that the money could stop in a heartbeat as I've been subjected to lots of people ripping off my designs and copying them, but I plan to utilise the extra cash whilst it lasts.
