Feeding the Bat

      With all the stereotypes about wicked Halloween witches, it turns out there are a few gentle ones who care for their pets just like you and I do.  Of course, my pets tend to be cats, not bats, but who am I to judge?  :-D  

      I can't tell you anything about this stamp because it was stamped and sent to me by a friend who has been mailing me stamped or printed images out of concern that I'll lose crafting interest after the total crash of my thumb drive which contained all my digital images.  The recovery of those digis, thus far, has been slow and occasional but I do have about 100 (out of some 9,000!) which have been returned to me.  I'm hoping for more but we'll have to wait and see.

What a cool image this is, very unique but i have to agree with you I think I would prefer my kitty cats as a pet LOL. I lost ALL my digitals a year ago June so I feel your pain...and I even had a backup that crashed with it! Anyhow, thank you for joining us at Two Old Bats Halloween challenge!

I really love that image Connie and it's got sort of a Vintage vibe to it too. Perfect coloring and I love the bit of texture in your background too! Sorry to hear about you loosing your images and hope that you can recover your favorites over time! HUGS

Oh no! So much time and money invested into building up your supply of images, and technology has stepped in and robbed you of them! That is devastating!
What a fabulous image this is! It has such a super vintage feel to it, and I think that has been enhanced by your colouring. So awesome against the black & white background you've given it. Thanks for sharing this with us at Penny's!

Oh Nana Connie, your friend is so sweet sending you images for you to color! We all need friends that know how important crafting is for our mental health and the health of others. LOL!!! I love how you painted her, she has such a vintage feel to her.

Thanks for joining us at TWO OLD BATS Halloween Challenge!
