I would take that skull on an outting with my husband and new baby to a fall fair. We'd look at the animals, play games, eat great food, drink a few drinks, support the local artists by purchasing their wonderful art and enjoy the fall colors of the trees. Then the skull and my family would sit under the stars talking about how lucky we are to be alive, and I would kiss each of them, including the skull, goodnight, and sleep and dream of the smiling skull and all my departed loved ones. Happy Dia De Los Muertos all!! I can be reached at couchgirl13@gmail.com and I would love a portrait of my dearly departed kitty, who passed this year after 15 wonderful years together.Couchgirl13https://www.blogger.com/profile/11265296393471557002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661163375079341944.post-63427006737594521692011-10-09T16:52:09.498-04:002011-10-09T16:52:09.498-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Couchgirl13https://www.blogger.com/profile/11265296393471557002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661163375079341944.post-84291230950274020252011-10-09T13:27:11.375-04:002011-10-09T13:27:11.375-04:00Awesome artist and what a fantastic opportunity wi...Awesome artist and what a fantastic opportunity with this giveaway!;)<br /><br />Hmmm....I think I usually wear my fishbone earrings and have some Mexican food and a toast to those passed.
