A Flash From The Past

Ok, sometimes I'll come across things that remind me of my childhood - whether it's a toy, a doll, a song on the radio, whatever the case, frequently I'm reminded of days gone by.

But this picture, from an auction on Ebay, really scared the shit out of me - this istantly took me back to the mid to late 70's. Either my sister or I had these exact Paint By Numbers:

So what strikes me really odd about these paint by numbers is that it appears that not only were they completed, but they were framed. What the hell is that about? AND the really scary thing is that someone actually won this auction item on Ebay. Actually, that shouldn't scare me at all, as this would have made a great "do you remember this" gift for my sister's 40th birthday (not that I don't already have a good gift for that department), which is coming up in 6 short days...
