Um . .. this is kind of . . . . hard !

I was going through some old files this afternoon, cleaning out my desk, trying to make room for the new year's paperwork and found a letter I wrote sometime last year to the Royal Langnickel paint by number company. I had bought some of their small paint kits, remembering how much I loved them when I was young, and when the order arrived, we opened up a few - thinking we would paint one and use it for display. It proved, to put it mildly, difficult. The picture above will give you an idea of the scale - the canvas is about the size of a typical greeting card. The picture below will give you an idea of how ridiculously over detailed it was. As I said in my letter - it kind of made my head hurt to look at that cat, let alone imagine trying to paint it. Never heard back from them either, so eventually I called. They were completely nonchalant, and claimed they had never had a complaint like ours. It seemed pointless to argue. But - would you give it to a six year old? A twelve year old? Rembrandt??
