Last Fall, I was at the Antique Store and found this little girl for sale in one of the booths. I just couldn't leave her there...so she came home with me and became an "Instant Ancestor" (a borrowed expression I've heard elsewhere).
So I started dressing her up last Halloween, beginning with this costume. She looks pretty happy with her butterfly wings and black witch hat.
Then around Valentine's day she traded in her black hat for this little crown, below.
Soon, it was Easter and I changed her location to this cute little cone, below. I also gave her new wings which reflected Spring colors.
She used to be in my Shop, but someone snatched her up and off she went to California.
Then the other night, I got out this new Stamp set I bought recently and was JUST going to see if the little black mask would fit my "little Ancestor".
It DID! And that's when all the mischief began. I just kept playing, and playing, and playing until she finally ended up in her little nest on top of this pumpkin.
I haven't decided if I can part with her yet. That's why she's not sitting over there in the Shop. Of course I know I can make her again, because I scanned her original. So, stay tuned.....I'll be sure to let you know if I end up putting her there. Have a great weekend!

This is the cutest thing I have seen in a long time. I can see how you can't part with her.
Oh ML, she's absolutely adorable and you're just the right amount of insane. I don't think I could part with her in her new nest. So this would be Miss Stewart, Mr. MacGiver and just a hint of LSD. :)
She is adorable! I would have a hasrd time parting with her too:>) Maybe you should keep the original and sell the copy!
She's darling and I love that you were so creative with her over the seasons. How fun!
She is absolutely ADORABLE!!!!!!

She's precious! Did you apply her image to cardstock to keep her rigid??? I'm very new at this and would love to try and make one from one of my 'acquired ancestors' !

What a fantastic stamp set as well,...you will have to post more creations inspired by those stamps. :)
AAAAMAZING! Love her so much. I wish I could be a little fly on the wall when you're playing with your paper. (Please don't swat me) Mimi

I just love these little people that you create. I showed my daughter last night how cute they are. We are responsible for the cheerleader showcase in October, and thought this would be fun to do!! Thanks for sharing such great ideas.
