Finally!!! So....since I can't very well take a picture of it.....I took a picture of the beautiful creation that Wendy made for me, since I never got to show mine when everyone else was showing their fairyland creation!!! I only specified the size, a fairy looking into a pool, and maybe a touch of red: She put a little red bird in there; A heart like Cindy's; And a rock with a face in it. "I Love Virginia!"

You'll be posting like crazy. I've never seen a Grow Your Own Boyfriend. That's a great idea though. :wink: If he causes any trouble just don't water him that day. If he gets really out of line don't water him at all.

I know how to do the basics I need to, on it, so I won't get around to that until I have a NEED to know how to do something different. I DO have to keep referring to the manual for the camera! My son, who helped me pick everything and who has everything under the sun, said my stuff is better than what he has!! Made me feel good since I was able to buy them for myself, instead of him getting it for me! Makes a difference! "I Love Virginia!"
