HI, MY NAME IS PHYLLIS.  I BEGAN PAINTING ABOUT 19 YEARS AGO, AND HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO PUT THE BRUSH DOWN.  ONCE I GOT THE NERVE TO TRY IT, I WAS HOOKED.  JUST ASK MY HUBBY.  IF HE CAN'T FIND ME, HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE TO LOOK, MY PAINT ROOM.  AT SOME TIME OF ALMOST EVERY DAY YOU WILL FIND ME IN MY PAINT ROOM, IN MY PAINT SPATTERED, VARNISH FILLED, STAINED, AND WHATEVER ELSE I DECIDE TO WIPE ON THEM, PAINT CLOTHES.  WHAT A SIGHT THAT  IS!  LOOKING BACK I CAN'T SAY I WOULD ADMIT TO HAVING PAINTED SOME OF MY VERY FIRST PROJECTS, BUT I ENJOYED IT, AND THAT IS WHAT MATTERS.  YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.  I ALWAYS MAKE MY VERY BEST FRIEND PROMISE, SHE WON'T TELL ANYONE  I PAINTED THOSE SO CALLED TREASURES SHE HAS.
