Beautiful birthday gift!Happy birthday Zee Zee!

*purrs & nuzzles*

Hooray for birthday hugs! Those are the best kind, especially from such a kind and present-giving cuddly kitten! *hugs* Thank you so much, Kaffie! ^.^

Oooh, by the way, they had cuddly microbes for sale in the museum gift shop, and Gem bought e-coli! ^.^

*pounces da squiwwel* Happy birfday!

I am good at hugging...

My E. Coli, had the tips of his flagella frayed by kitten claws some time ago, but he's still really friendly so I'm sure Gem's 'll have oodles of fun wth his cousin!

Oh, Kaffre. *Hugs* You are always too hard on yourself. Sure the proportions may give off a sense of older age, but it is still a fantastic effort. Moreover, if you flip through your gallery, you will see how much better you really are getting at drawing.

That aside, I think you did an adorable job capturing a friendly birthday moment with our favorite, clever squirrel. I especially like the way you drew Zee as he looks really nerdy and, well, isn't that how smarties usually come off? Kind of like Simon from Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Keep doing your best and know we all love your work. *Hugs and rubs gently behind your ears* Your heart is what makes each piece great and your determination is what makes me, and everyone else, glad to be there with you to celebrate your improvements along the way. :)

I appreciate the kind words, Yosh-E, but I'm not really disparaging the picture. I just find that recognizing the shortcomings is a good way to make sure they don't recurr.

I think 'tis very cute too! *hugs*
