Hi, I am going to be taking a few days off from blogging. My Mom’s significant other, of 38 years, passed away last night. He was supposed to have heart surgery on Tuesday, but something went wrong, possibly an infection. I was blessed to have had a wonderful father who passed away in 2001 as well as Jerry, who was also a kind man who would do anything for me. He even dressed as Santa for the cats before David started doing it.

I am a little OCD so I feel the need to post my Z creation for The A-Z Blogging Hop. It is Zero, the Ghost Dog from The Nightmare Before Christmas. I am impressed that some of you guessed.

I will have a giveaway for all the items later in the week. I apologize if I don’t get a chance to visit your blogs for a few days.
