When I was about twelve I was bitten by the ‘paint by numbers’ bug. I liked the paints in the little plastic pots. Go figure!
I was really enjoying the whole process so I was taking my time.
At night I would very carefully put the wet canvas board safely under my desk in order to protect it. From what I have no idea. (It’s no use to ponder the actions of a thirteen year old girl so don’t try!)
One morning I retrieved the painting from its sheltered confines and found …….
it was covered with teeny tiny little PAW PRINTS!
I don’t know which was more upsetting, the fact that my painting was ruined or that there was a mouse in my room!
EEEEEK!
Rats have teeny tiny paw prints too! LOL.

Standing on my chair eeking in sympathy.
