Yup, yours truely and Claire did meet up on wednesday afternoon. Claire was patient enough to tag along when I was hunting down a lot of knick-knacks for my projects (making hand-made cards). After our rush around the city we sat down on a café and had something to eat.

Claire's a very nice young lady and very brigth. It was a real pleasure to meet her in person. I hope we'll do it again soon!

A shot of two beautiful women like that should be in the "Glamour" section!
Who took the picture?

I'd say she has a pretty good eye. And I'm SURE you got her permission before sucking the color out of her copyrighted image.:evil:

It was my old Coolpix camera too... I told her to aim and pull the trigger.... got a self portrait too of us... if you're worried. :D

Tom, of course we do... Ingmar Bergman proved it! :D

I used to fly into Växjö quite often several years ago... went lake hopping all over the place between Gothenburg and Öland and Gotland.
(in the sea plane on my site or some other posts)...

... but I remember it being a bit more... hmmm... colorful -?

actually reminded me of Canada quite a bit. The land and the nice people... ;)

Happy that you both had a nice time... but I'm sorry to hear that Claire is brigth. :(
I hope she gets better soon.

It was great fun meeting CyberPet. Not often I meet someone I've chatted with online. She was in a good mood and I'm happy she found all the stuff she wanted. Now I know where all the stationary stores are in Gothenburg! :lol:

Here's a colour version (no edit whatsoever). The 2nd pic CyberPet took herself (anything to make sure we get a good photo... ;-)a )

Hahaha... I'm such a goof, aren't I? :D

I guess this proves that we do have colors in Sweden too.... and that my old Nikon actually still works (although the battry life sucks).

Great stuff. There's certainly been plenty of get-togethers lately. :)

Bring on some more.
