Four years ago, my wife gave me a Christmas present. It was a picture of an express train and it was a picture that denoted "painting by numbers". I had never done one of these before, as owning my own business, I have never had the time to do it. I have now sold my business and have a bit of spare time in my days to use up. My wife suggested, that because I read a lot, why don't I have a try on the painting. Lo and behold, I have simply done that and completed it. "For a first attempt, not bad was the wifes comments", and suggested I try another one. I have searched the appropriate companies on the web site and duly found Crafty Arts to be the best one. I ordered a second picture, entitled "the flying Scotsman" and completed it again. My third picture is the "duck pond" scene which was more difficult, owing to alot of colours being a bit of this and a bit of that together, but it is done, and wife's comments "the best one yet" It is my birthday on Saturday, and my wife has ordered me the "watering can scene". Not only that, my daughter has ordered two pictures, the "scenic canal and "quiet street". To say I am now hooked is an understatement, I just wonder how many more I will do. One little point though, we wanted to purchase the "fishing village by Reeves and cottage by the river, both items are listed as out of stock. Please let me know when they are back in. For now, all I wish to say, this company says what it hopes is the right message to its customers, they back it up with good service, the products are well wrapped and their price structure is competitive, I will by my stuff from as I am very pleased.

This was a delight and good value picture.
