Noushka And Tasha I'm Missing You Both So Much Options

[janika]

Hello to you all. I know if you're reading this you've also suffered great loss and will be feeling heartbroken too.
Over the weeks since Noushka left us to become another of my 'Angel Dogs' I have looked on this site many times and found some comfort from knowing that I am not alone. The messages, poems, stories written on here about beloved pets are so beautiful and they have kept me going.
I am finding things very hard at the moment . It's now about 10 weeks since I said goodbye to Noushka and almost 4 years since Tasha. They are now both in the garden they loved to play in. We planted two white flowering shrubs and lots of snowdrops around them. They 're Samoyeds and loved to play in the snow. I will miss them so much this Christmas and I'm dreading the first snowfall.
I try to keep thinking of all the happy times and how much love we shared but I feel so lost and empty without them. Losing Noushka has brought back the pain of losing Tasha. I just try to think that now they are together again. I do believe that they are with me in spirit and know that as in life they will always be by my side.
Thanks for reading this and if anyone can help me I would love to hear from them.
Love

Hi Jan,

In my next post to you, I'm going to put Tasha's photo since I want it to stand alone. But, I wanted to tell you some things and ask you a few questions so will do that here.

First of all, I did crop and make the black border wider at the left and right then less high at the top and bottom. It worked out nicely! Next: I made the image less bright, added the gold frame which I feel is too dark, then brightened the image again after having added the gold frame to make the frame a bright gold.

Next: While still there, I added the very pastel blue snowflakes to the left and right of the border while still black, enlarged, positioned them and saved to file without adding the yellow background first. I was very happily surprised to see how dark blue the snowflake stickers became as soon as I added the yellow background with them already there. So much prettier! See? There's always a reason for everything and I'll know what to do when I enhance Tasha's photo again as well as when I do Noushka's next.

I have a question to you about the snowflake stickers: Since they're not animated, would you love me to put a gold or blue glitter star in the center of each one? That would be very easy to do and may look lovely!

I feel I went a bit overboard with the many layers of shimmering gold and silver halos so know not to do that next time. Unless you love it that way, of course. Next: Since I had positioned the snowflake stickers the way I did, it wouldn't have looked good to add glittering Angel wings. So, I know next time to erase all but the top and bottom stickers to make way for her gold, glittering Angel Wings. Sorry about that. Well, my PC was giving me signs that the Runtime error was coming so I really needed to save and can always redo.

Some questions that will also help me with Noushka's photo ...

About Tasha's name? Would you like it to just say Tasha? Tasha Angel? Tasha Angel Girl? Tasha along with one or two other words of endearment? If so, then what, please? Also, I can put Tasha's name in gold glitter, but being where it is, the gold has to be a lot lighter than the other gold text you see on the yellow border and it looks a bit on the yellow/orange side. It's very pretty though! Still, would you like to see that along with what other words, if any, you choose to go with Tasha's name?

About the heart? Would you like it to stay red? Make it gold? I'm sure I have a lot more questions to ask and all this will help me when I do Noushka's photo as well.

Here you go ....

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

Edit: Oh no! I accidenally put a dot of color on Tasha's right (camera left) ear when I was grabbing color and repairing the black dot on the sun lounger. I missed seeing that. I'm so sorry! No worries. I still have the framed photo with the snowflake stickers in save so will repair that after doing Noushka's picture. So sorry about that, Jan. I sure do wish the program would allow us to edit things like that without all the animation stopping. Oh well, I also need to move Tasha's name up just a bit and add any other changes you wish. We'll make her perfect, Hon. Hugs!!!

Hey, wait a moment. I just thought of something for a temporary fix until I can redo the image. Let's give it a try. First, here's the URL link to the one I just said has the yellow dot on Tasha's right (camera left) ear ...

Next, I took the image to an Online Image Editor that won't stop the animation. Found the color that matches as close to that area as possible. It is silver. Used the text font "Ariel Bold" and the capital letter "I" then positioned the silver letter over that yellow dot area and saved. Repeated three times to cover that entire area. It's not perfect nor exact but perhaps looks better than having that yellow dot on her ear. Below is the result until I redo it. More Hugs!!!
