enough to join a "Skelly Swap" hosted by the multi talented powerhouse,Dani Nelson, of
Ambitions Designs and owner of SpookyTimeJingles 
The best part of it all was that I was paired with a most wonderful artist
Christine of Du-Buh-Du I think this type of ornament is called a " Catrina" you can read about it here La Catrina But for now just look at my beauty: 
The pictures just don't do the doll justice, a delicate shimmering medium was used on what looks like ceramic or porcelain flowers that gently crown her head, her eyes
are black glittery dots within filigree flower outlines that surround her eyes,
and a necklace of black glass beads caress her long delicate neck.
As if that wasn't enough, she sent a gorgeous card in brilliant colors and a couple of yummy candies...all gone by the way...hehehe...and I wonder why I can't lose weight? She really is beautiful.
And this is a before of my Skelly, I was so excited and anxious to get the swap ornament done and sent that I forgot one thing...you got it NO PICTURES !!!!
I could of sworn I had, well Ms.Christine was kind enough to do me the favor of taking some pictures and will send them tomorrow...egg on my face....
Here is what the before of mine looks like:
I'll post the finished ones as soon as I get them..
