      Thank you both! I’m so happy to finally be on my own for real.

        I bought my first house today! I’ll be moving in over the next couple weeks.

            Removing dry paint can be very difficult from a PYO, unless it happens to not like the gypsum and peels off easily. If the surface is smooth enough people just tend to paint over the old paint.
            Using acetone to remove the paint will take a lot of effort and materials, and you’ll likely end up with tiny flecks of paint in the crevices that are too stubborn to get rid of.
            Maybe a coat of matte or ultra matte varnish on the tail would help give the eye paint something to grab on to.

              I remembered the name of the other test paint – Night’s Fire!

              I had a couple pieces of this test paint but sold them because I had pieces from yet another test paint that were very similar.

                Not sure if this is a keepsake/gift item given to the seller or a repaint. Nothing on the felt pad is extremely suspicious.

                  Galactic Shadows was another but I can only find a hatchie with that scheme.

                  I can’t remember the name for anything but I had a young Ori test paint that was dark blue with silver accents, and it might have been galactic shadows. I sold it a while back.

                    Parroting that USPS shipment data is sent via Paypal, and I always pay with Paypal.

                      I’ve started looking for a house since I’m transferring to a different facility for work and the homes within my budget are either in a crappy city I don’t want to live in, cash-only, or have super tiny yards (I want space for chickens, it’s part of the reason why I want to move!).

                      There was one house that had a good yard but needed work, but was priced well enough that I’d have money to do some fixes. The day I talk to my realtor about it, it goes off the market and I think the selling agent started ghosting my realtor.

                      I found another house that had a decent amount of what I wanted and was within budget so my realtor set up a showing, then it was cancelled after an hour because the sellers decided to take it off the market! Of all the houses I’ve been unable to look at/buy/finance this one was the biggest slap in the face.

                      Found a third house that I was willing to work with but my realtor’s request for a showing got immediately rejected. I’m hoping it was just the time of the showing request wasn’t workable but I didn’t hear anything back about it yet.

                      My one saving grace is that since I’m transferring within my company I have a bit of time to find a house. It’s so demoralizing getting hit with constant rejections though.

                        Would it be possible to make a couple new coloring pages? There’s been quite a few new critters added to the store recently, so maybe they can get their own coloring page too.

                          Sent an email for one! I did get one last year but I don’t want to take chances and potentially miss getting the card.

                              Nightcrawler on the griffins looks a lot like a good Blue Jay theme imo.

                                  For the Stormscale Ori it kind of seems like making the spine scales colorshift would give it a really nice bit of pop and interest.
