Did you hear me???? I LOVE your interviews. Plus, you are cuter than a pickle, hehehehe. You bring so much joy and hope to my life, simply with a flick of your wrist. You are that amazing. Interesting sidenote....I read an article recently that said a lot of Nobel Prize winners are dyslexic. Being dyslexic probably helped their creative mind because they had to work hard to find other ways to do things. You are living proof of that. Do they give out the Nobel Prize for illustration? They should do that. Excuse me. I need to call Mr. Nobel.<br /><br />Love youuuuuuuu!
