So wasn't sure what to get for Christmas, so I ended up doing a painting. Thought I'd share the progress:

It's taking a little longer then I thought it would, so hopefully can get it done by Christmas :) :)

Nice. I'm jealous of people with painting/drawing abilities.
I don't think it's something you should rush. If it's not done by this Christmas then maybe it's a birthday present?

I def think I can get it done, I have all day today, tomorrow and Monday.. I'm planning to get as much done today that I can. The body isn't bad the wheel takes forever. I think I spent an hour on the tire, and 6 something hours on the wheel lol

Sorry to hear that after all the effort you put into a really nice personal gift. Not only do you have mechanical skills [thumbsup], but you are artistic and thoughtful.

If he doesn't appreciate you he isn't worthy of you, (that's what I tell my four daughters). :)

What an a hole!  Who dumps someone after a gift like that!  I'm sure you will have NO problem finding someone who is better for you.

Sorry to hear about that.  You will bounce back like a moon jumper though.  Gals with a passion for bikes are a commodity!  Toss in gorgeous and you are only going to be single as long as you want to be.

Here is a hint.  Avoid bad boys and anyone that likes rap, most thrive on treating women poorly.  Chin up!

I have a great gal and consider myself lucky, it is hard to find compatible people.
