The good thing about being early in the chain is that I forget the description I got!!

No word from Ted so I'll likely wrap this up proper soon and set a date for the reveal. Then we can hop over to @Deja Boo for their sheeptastic event!

Sorry, been caught up in real life. I have received the pic.
No idea how to narrow it down to only 10 words.
Will get it sorted by tomorrow at latest.

Right folks, the time has come to wrap up this paint event. The reveal will happen tomorrow Friday 22nd at around 8pm (ish)

To whet your appetite, I give you the opening image below.

No spoilers please until I reveal the story your paints will tell. 😄

I'm sorry, I need to make a complaint to the manager, that image is false advertising as it doesn't match the actual product 😜
