OMG, I lost it at the purse. That was so cool, thank you! And all of the extras were awesome and so thoughtful as well. I'm into Teddy Roosevelt as a theme but def need to brainstorm on that one. I want to make you something worthy of the title!

kiwivandal on Apr 14, 2025:

So glad to see you in my new swap! I'll be posting a few more soon :)

Hey there, i'm in the Wes Anderson lovers group with you. I really like your idea for a mini painting swap where we send each other a painting of our a character in the royal tennenbaums. Or something you would see in there house. Would you like to do a private swap with me? I don't think anyone from the group wants to. let me know...Have a good day:)
