About 45 minutes after the itch was taken care of she returned looking prettier than ever.

The head scratching episode only took about 2 minutes, but I really did have a smile on my face the whole time. I hope these brought a smile to your face too and thanks as always for stopping by.

Well, since she scratched her itch and all was well, no harm ;-)a
Lovely set. The detail you captured is superb!
