Zlata and little Murphy are almost at Grandmother's house! Zlata loves the snow, and she has been dancing all the way! You can see that Zlata has dropped her hat, but Murphy found it and is carrying it for her. They've made their way through the enchanted woods, and now only have to cross the bridge to have hot chocolate and sit by the fire with Grandmother. There are stories to be told and a snack to be had before they drift off to sleep and wake up to fun in the snow. But first there are morning chores. They don't mind, for Grandmother can make even the most boring chores fun! I'm not real happy with how this turned out, but finally gave up and posted it anyway. I can't seem to soften the bridge enough to suit me so it will fit in better with Jane Eden's beautiful Winter Moods background. This is Winter Moods 10. Murphy is of course mine, my little Murphmeister, grins. The bridge, lampost, and Zlata are tubes, png files by romiposer. I don't remember how I found her work, but you can go to romiposer.blogspot. She has so many awesome things here. Many thanks to Jane Eden for the lovely backgrounds. They are much fun to work with, and so easy to "adapt". I did a little cloning and a little brush work, just to allow the bridge the to sort of work. Any thoughts on how to soften something like that bridge, to fit in with all that lovely sparkling soft snow? Also want to thank you all for being so supportive, for stopping to view and leave treasured comments and for the faves.
