    I am going to complain to the environmental protection mob, that weighty maiden sitting on the beach towel, appears to be squashing the life out of at least six octopuses ! Stand up for our endangered wild life,,, Prevent octopus squashing !!!

  • CATNIPMEOW

    CATNIPMEOW

    catnip meow came from: of course my love of my little furry kindred spirits but also my beloved angel kitty name Eor was a catnip addict….....as soon as I would grow it he would eat all of it…......he loved it and would come running if he heard the rustle of the bag…......when he passed away it broke my heart into a thousand pieces I really did not think I could recover…........this is the first time in almost 8 years I have even attempted to actually grow it again for my new babies- But the way a cat behaves while intoxicated with catnip will make you fall off your chair with soulful giggles :)

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    Helllooo CATNIPMEOW!!
    thanx for explaining how you came to get the name….i’m so sorry you lost Eor, so sad :( ...cats are wonderful pets, we love our Basil… i’ve never tried him with catnip! I must do that…it sounds like they go crazy :)

  • frozenfa

    frozenfa

    eheh.. i’m late.. n_n”
    i saw iaN’s comments and giggled like hell… heheheheh.. that’s what i initially thought too.. i was wondering, what’s that white thingy squashed beneath?! then i remember some carpets have this thingy decorating the edges.. hehe.. XD
    i thought this one look so very familiar, and went to check out your gallery and realised the previous version was the digitally enhanced one! hehe~ XD

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    yes, that’s right fa…and i didn’t like that one at all..it was before i knew what i was doing in photoshop….now i was able to rectify it and make it all pretty in photoshop i wanted to do a fresh upload…iAN’s so cheekie!!!!
    thanx fa!! they do look like worms or something….!! lol

  • frozenfa

    frozenfa

    aww.. but don’t pull that one down, k, Karin? i think that one’s really pretty still.. the bight colors and textures for that one makes it suitable for restaurants! those by the beach restaurant? i think they should have paintings like this inside.. it’ll be perfect! XD

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    oi Fa, i actually thought i had ‘hidden’ it from view..but i realise it’s still viewable…aw, i was actually gonna hide it, as i’m really not that happy with the other one….

  • frozenfa

    frozenfa

    hehe.. i managed to view it by clicking on the thumbnail in your profile page.. heheheheheh.. XD

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    What a happy summery masterpiece!!! Brilliant as always :D Love the colours and the swirls and the ocean is just brilliantly fantastic!!

    Had to add this… with all your popularity and MT’s arguing that he can’t do stuff (when he very clearly can!!) it seemed like miles down to the comments box!! Hope you don’t mind :D

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    hey thanx for doing that georgiegirl!! so glad you like this summery one, i like the colours here in this…. i think the witchety grubs were a funny addition, but heck…i was trying to draw tassels and they turned into grubs!! Ian reckons they’re octupi!! Have you been very busy??...
