Hello all! Well, I've been out of the loop again. Stress does this number on me and I end up getting sick. I've been worried about my mom so I got a cold this weekend. It was one of those colds where I just had no energy and had a bad sore throat. I ended up going to bed at 8:30 every night. I am finally recovering from it - yeah!!! Today is the first day I felt energy and felt 'back to normal'. :) Anyhoo, I did this picture with my daughter Trinity a couple days ago. The face morph and makeup is a new character we're trying to create. :) Trinity really wants me to create another Cookie character. Soooooo... this is one of the makeups for her. The eyes and hair are from Cookie Alien. And the background is from my latest backgrounds, Magical Realms (slightly modified in relation to color). Ok, I'm not trying to advertise. Just playing with stuff I've created. :) Seriously though, I've missed visiting the galleries. I really do enjoy looking at what others have created. I've done some viewing tonight. On another note... I appreciate your support and encouragement. Really, really. Personal note: My mom is going through more testing this week in preparation for getting chemo. She had an echocardiogram and fluid extracted from her lungs on Tuesday and a PET scan today. We will know more next week in relation to results. I'm just going one day at a time right now. Personal note 2: We are adopting another cat! I'm so excited. He's a Himalayan cat and he has a sweet personality. His owner unfortunately got full blown AIDS and he gave him up to our vet. Note: I feel really bad that this poor person got AIDS and I hope he'll be ok. I am glad that we can give his kitty a new home. We're hoping the new kitty (named Zipper) will get along ok with Fuzzer, our little Persian cat. I'll be picking him up tomorrow. Our kids are so excited to get a new kitty. Thanks soooooo much for your comments and favs on my last posting. I really appreciate it! Add'l credits: Au Naturale (RDNA)
