What an imagination. I could see you doing a comic about that magical door. A cartoon version of the lion, the witch and the wardrobe. Dictating excuse, typos!

If you ever sell your condo, you better charge extra for that door!

You've inspired me. I have 5 circa 1900 panel doors in my garage. It feels so wrong to trash them, but I have no use for them. Especially the one with the glass doorknob. I'm attached to that little piece of vintage hardware. Now I know what they will become: blank canvases for who knows what kind of crazy paintings!

Get yourself a bushel of paint pens and Sharpies!

I started out as an old-school sign painter, so I’ll probably freshen up the tool kit, get the rust out of my hands, and have a go at it. By the way, I love your black-and-white creation, but the colorist in me is DYING to attack it like a comic strip!

Love seeing all this! Also, its $3/month, versus $3 a year. And the door- wow! What was in that wine?

Hilary, oooops! Thanks for alerting me to the error! It is 3 bucks per month! Will edit that on my post. And ha ha, cheap wine can do wonders:)
