You'll have to get yours done. I noticed they removed the 'Profile' button yesterday in the left column. I am lucky to have a dedicated studio. Just wish I kept it neater.<br /><br />Should have asked about my name! Mostly what tarot card readers/fortune tellers say gives me the heebie-jeebies, but I did find that interesting. :)Kathleen Maunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17827170549189936589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844738554429301422.post-26058606384234339972012-06-13T05:32:45.841-04:002012-06-13T05:32:45.841-04:00Grey Heron here = stolen goldfish!

They're such amazing birds. <br />Also, I keep hearing about the "About" section on Etsy. Yours looks fantastic! Love the peeks into your studio, you lucky duck! <br />Can't wait to see what you create next. <br />P.S. I wonder what your past-life name was? What a romantic notion. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07989341971702269083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844738554429301422.post-5099767905612495062012-06-12T17:46:15.212-04:002012-06-12T17:46:15.212-04:00Meeko is handsome indeed and sees himself as the c...Meeko is handsome indeed and sees himself as the center of the world, but it's funny how we forgive that trait in dogs. If we're out for a walk and a car stops or someone opens their front door, he's always convinced it's because they want to meet him. It's quite funny. Meeko has a handful of names as well. :)Kathleen Maunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17827170549189936589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844738554429301422.post-2758313260969920942012-06-12T17:41:24.453-04:002012-06-12T17:41:24.453-04:00Thanks Julie so much!

They can be naughty tho and eat small chicks, I've seen it happen!??? EEEK. Meeko is cute, love his colouring, and big black nose.

Glad Meeko leaves the bird alone. Herons take off slowly and that beak is razor sharp and can penetrate bone.
