I feel like a cheat Day 24

I am still unwilling to throw in the towel on these 31 day long

blog hops. Although I did grapple with the idea more than once.

A friend kindly reminded me that I was sick this time last year.

Hmmm, maybe the stress is more than this old demon can handle anymore.

I guess I had better make the best of it then, huh?    

This is a beautiful  new image from Aurora Wings called, 

Day of the Dead Marie.

With my puppy troubles I was unable to take part in the

release showcase, but I did have her colored, just not  made

into an actual 'thing'.  

So, I scanned the colored image, even though I would lose all

the sparkle from the Stickles and the Perfect Pearls that were on

the original.   

I reduced it down to approximately 3.5" x 2.5"-ish, 

which is much smaller than I can possibly color an image

of this kind of detail. 

I popped her into a sweet little fancy frame, and viola!

Gorgeous!

Thanks again for all of your wonderfully sweet and thoughtful 

comments regarding my sick furbabies. We're off the IVs for today,

but you never know what tomorrow will hold. So, I'll keep on

happily, and gratefully receiving all of those good vibes.

Be sure to take a stroll down the blog rolls for both the

31 Days of Halloween and the Countdown to Halloween.

It's a good way to kill a few hours on some great 

Halloween themed, and inspired schtuff.
