Set Painting

I'm not sure about the book painting/ aging, but Effie's fine extendo-roller skills should translate nicely to odd jobs around the house.


Also... whatever happened to painting in overalls?!?!

It is so exciting to see Eff and Ferg shine when engaging in various board and role playing games..

The Lady Blackbird role playing/ adventure game:
Role playing games like Lady Blackbird are way too complicated and involve way too much dedication for me. Instead you'll find me cleaning up over at the Rummy Tile table..
