BINGO Players from last game...

[red1030]

Hi all ....the winners of the last BINGO Game oil painting are almost dry. THey are dry enough to touch but I need to give them a couple more weeks of being out of a box. The actual drying time of an oil is about 6 months. But they dry enough that I can put them in a box. I am going to send the two oils in a frame. Wink yours is coming in a black frame, and Deb yours is coming in an pine rope frame just like the one you had last time. Your two paintings are very similar you know just minor difference in color and pathways etc...

MJC was the first place winner, however, she chose acrylic paintings. Also MJC there is a little something extra for your birthday in yours. I did not frame them, because they require a frame with a glass and I fear that they would break. But I will do something more special for you ok...

Sweet tooth...you have three coming as I described to you..and they will have a frame also..I believe I am putting them in pine rope. They are the best for these paintings...

here is the scoop...last time I sent out four paintings and the frame that was sent to jayne was broken. I am not able to claim it on the insurance becasue I do not have receipts for the frames. I buy them in a bundle and then I didn't keep a receipt so that is an issue. I am really concerned about the frames breaking. I called a post office for advice and they told me to pack with newpaper versus bubble wrap like I did last time and buy a larger box. So I am going to wrap the painting and frame in bubble wrap and then pack in newpaper. The frame and painting size is 20X24 but the new boxes I bought are 26 X 30. Hopefully that will do the trick with the newspaper. If anyone has anything broken or not right, please let me know immediately ok... I still don't have any receipts for the frames that I have now, so I don't know if I am going to insure them. But we will see what my husband does.

They are going to be in the mail the first week of October..ok..I will let each of you know when they are actually mailed. I will need each of your addresses. Please Pm me with them at your conveinence. Deb even you, because I do not keep them...I shed them as I do my mail. Thanks to everyone..have a great day...love Red

Red the box I got looked like someone stepped on it...the local post office thought so also...but my picture was awesome

[red1030]

jayne...I am so glad that you liked the picture...but I want to take some extra precautions this time. You were so disappointed and I was sad about that... I wanted it to be perfect for you...love Red

[jayne]

let me let you in on a very big secret I was not one bit disapointed in my picture....it now has a homemade"barnwood" frame around it and I can pretend I am looking out a window at it or when the pain is bad I put my spirit in the rock in the picture and let the storm wash the pain away for awhile........I am only unhappy you lost money on the frame

[sweet tooth]

red did you shred me or do i need to send it again ?

[red1030]

Hi sweet tooth...no I kept yours...just in case I come that way...love Red

[sparkey]

Wow i cannot believe how nice of you Red to send that many people your lovely drawings and pay for the frames and mailing also. You have such a big heart and i am sure they all appreciate all that you do. You have a wonderful talent and from the paintings i saw they are absolultly beautiful!!! Keep up the good work!

Hi all...thanks for the compliments sparkey, but when I hear jayne describe what a painting of mine does for her, I am in heaven. If a painting could take away pain even for a few minutes, then I have done what I was put here to do. That is what it is all about.

sparkey, I will be playing another one soon, possibly I will play a game of jeopardy which I am working out now. It will focus on the workman's compensation and medical injuries that occur related to work place accidents. I hope you will play as well again...loved having you this time...
